I live on a tropical Pacific Island. I can not dicide where to go on holiday? I live and work on Guam, US Marianas Islands. I have worked abroad for several years (30) and usually go to somewhere like Bali, Lombok, Maritus or other tropical islands for vacation. Since Guam is virtually a tropical paradise and I live in a condo that would qualify as a resort, I am having a terrible time trying to decide where to go. The company I work for pays my airline fare anywhere I want to go and I can't see just letting it go to waste. Hell of a delima.

Which Balearic island resort is best for me? I am looking to book a holiday to either Ibiza, Minorca or Mallorca and wondered if anybody could give me some information about resorts you have stayed at that may be suitable for me. I am going with my boyfriend and we want a quiet holiday without any clubbing. (we dont want to be kept awake in our Hotel by a nearby club either).

Exchange your points for an all expenses paid holiday, anywhere but Ireland? If it was possible to exchange your Yahoo points for a two week holiday, all paid for, what country and place would you go to, and why?

Let your imagination run....
What's the best holiday destination in Cuba? I'm looking at travelling solo to Cuba for a one-week holiday, but I can't decide on a destination. Varadero, Holguin and Caya Coco sound like the top places to go. From what I can gather, based on what I've read and heard from those I know who've been to Cuba, Varadero is party central, Holguin is quiet and more aimed at couples/families and Caya Coco is the place to go if you don't mind spending your entire holiday sequestered on an island resort with no outside contact. What do you suggest for a single 30-something who's looking for a relaxed holiday divided between the beach, meeting other tourists, venturing out into cities/towns to see the sites and meeting locals for friendly chats?

Daydream Island review? Australians please? Hi, I'm an Aussie myself and have never visited up North before. I'm considering a holiday to the Whitsundays Island, "Daydream" and was wondering if anyone had any personal experiences to speak of - positive or negative? I have heard that the service isn't always the best as the Daydream Island resort has a tendency to hire International backpackers for a year or so or younger folks to work there where pleasing the guests isn't always a top priority. And although Daydream isn't as flash, pricey or top-end as Hayman Island (a well known American Tourist Hot Spot), I have heard that the cost of things on Daydream are a little expensive - like for drinks / meals etc....is this true? Any advice, personal experiences, hints, tips etc would be greatly appreciated. Which restaurant is the best place to eat at on Daydream Island etc? Also, I would be travelling with a friend and with no kids and would prefer a quiet holiday experience ;-) Thanks so much in advance :-)

Help me to find out the name of this movie?

Which Greek resort?!? Looking for package holiday (out of simplicity) for 8 19 y/o males to greece. Unfortunately the Internet and brochures are being unhelpful due to conflicting and vague information. Our Demands... 1. vibrant nightlife (and day life) 2. BUT avoid places filled with people whose sole aim is to drink 3. hotel offer half-board or better (hence largish hotel?) 4. right on water front 5. golden sanded beach (sport!) 6. value for money Package tour operators seem to offer a restricted selection of islands: generally; crete, corfu, kefalonia, zakynthos, rhodes, kos, halkidiki, santorini. which island? which resort? In fact, this holiday need not exclusively be Greek, but we wanted to avoid France and Spain, and Greece seemed the logical choice. Any other suggestions? Please help!?
Energy sources on a island? For my geography class we have created an island and we have to say how we will power it. It is a small island somewhere in the Caribbean (it's made up) and needs something to generate energy for a holiday resort we are building there, without destroying the beautiful environment (only renewable sources). Anyone know the best thing, and why? I am not asking to cheat, just for more ideas to add, as google is useless. Thanks.

A holiday to the maldives next year.....please help...specifics appreciated!!? Me and my partner are planning a holiday for 2 weeks AI to the maldives next year and have narrowed it down to a few islands. Vilamendhoo, club hakura (chaaya lagoon), or meedhupparu island. Am i right in thinking vilamendhoo is now lacking in beach in a lot of areas? if so where is best to stay on that island?. Club hakura looks like a superb resort, only i am lead to believe you have to take a boat to the house reef. Is this correct? and is there much to be seen in the lagoon by the water bungalows? please be as specific as possible. Finally meedhupparu has a lot of mixed reviews on the internet and i am very wary of how good this island actually is. Many thanks.
Kefalonia, Lesvos or Kos? Which resort? My friend and I are planning a week's holiday in Greece next May, but we're having trouble deciding between Lesvos, Kefalonia or Kos so I'm hoping some people on here might be able to offer some advice. Our nightmare is the sort of resort that's full of drunk Brits, tacky souvenir shops and people hassling you to go into their restaurants so we've ruled out some of the resorts as it's obvious they're not what we want, but for others it's not easy to tell from brochures/guidebooks etc. We'd really appreciate any advice about the islands/resorts below to help us choose. What we want: * a smaller resort that's laid back and quiet * sandy beach * plenty of things to see and do within easy reach (on foot/by bus) * public transport links so we can explore more of the island and possibly do day trips to other islands nearby Possible resorts: KOS - Tingaki, Lambi, Psalidi, Kefalos KEFALONIA - Katelios, Lakithra, Lourdas LESVOS - Petra, Anaxos, Molyvos Thank you!

a REAL fiji beach holiday? I want to go to Fiji for a relaxing beach holiday... but I want to experience the REAL Fiji - not just a westernised resort. I've heard that the main island is rubbish and that I should get out to an island but there are many - I want one with a white sandy beach and relaxed atmosphere. My girlfriend loves scuba diving so maybe somewhere with some good dive spots nearby? Any advice on where to go would be greatly appreciated. We were thinking of going for a week. Also, I don't have ALL the money in the world :) Cheers
Where in Menorca can I hire a Bicycle? I am going on holiday next week to Menorca and I would like to hire bikes for myself and family. The resort I am staying is near the capital, and airport, so hire shops in that area would be good. However I am quite willing to travel anywhere on the island.
Hot Holiday Destinations In October? Hot Holiday Destinations In October? I know its out of season but I want somewhere that is open all year round and not all closed up. I want somewhere that is hot at this time of year, for example the Canary Islands, but they're full of fat northerners looking for a cheap resort. Somewhere else please!

Which Balearic island resort is best for me? I am looking to book a holiday to either Ibiza, Minorca or Mallorca and wondered if anybody could give me some information about resorts you have stayed at that may be suitable for me. I am going with my boyfriend and we want a quiet holiday without any clubbing. (we dont want to be kept awake in our Hotel by a nearby club either). We would like a nice beach front hotel preferably but would want to do activities in the day aswell as going on the beach, ie water park, cycling, tennis etc etc. If you have been to a quiet resort that your could recommend, however still things to do and if we wanted to have a short walk to some restaurants/shops that would be good. I look forward to hearing your sugesstions! Thanks!
Who can recommend a good holiday spot in Greece/Greek islands? I have a week in August and will be going with a female friend(no not lesbian).We're both late 30's. I love Greece and it's short haul. My criteria are as follows; 4/5 * all inclusive On the beach NOT 18-30s! Walking distance to nightlife-but not in the thick of it (and not a lager lout resort!) Yes go on call me a snob!! Seriously if anyone can recommend a resort I'd welcome ideas. xx
Which Holiday is better, the one in Fuerteventura or the one in Rhodes? I'm booking a holiday for Sept 09 and have managed to narrow it down to two. Which one do you think is better and why?... Rhodes - http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g635614-d228909-Reviews-Electra_Palace_Hotel-Ialysos_Rhodes_Dodecanese.html Fuerteventura- http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g659634-d238918-Reviews-Sunrise_Costa_Calma_Beach_Resort-Costa_Calma_Jandia_Peninsula_Fuerteventura_Canary_Islands.html I'm travelling with my boyfriend (28) and my son (nearly 3). I'm 21. I'm guessing it might have to be rhodes...plus its £100 cheaper! unless anyone else can sway my decision.
Going on Holiday at aged 16? Hey, In 2010 my friends (4of us) are planning to go away to the Canary Islands... Preferabley Lanzarote, Costa Teguise because i have been there about 6 times in my life. Our parents all like the idea and being responsible, but there are not many Airlines that consider the age 16 to be an adult. The only one i can find is Easyjet whichs says when booking a holiday - adult 16+.... Now we really want to go, and in 2010 we will be 16, almost 17; would that be ok to fly? If yes, could someone recommend some airlines? We would like to be able to book a holiday not just a flight. Im thinking about the resort Nazaret (in costa teguise) because i have been there alot and its also 2 min walk from the beach, so its not a hotel issue unless they don't allow people under 18 to stay there, its more about the flight and whether we would be allowed? Please help! Also share you thoughts on the idea too.... Ooo forgot to mention, when booking the holiday we would have one of our parents doing it on there card.... I asked the hotel and they said anyone above the age of 14 can stay there, because they say 14+ in the hoel is considered adult
Does anyone live in the Maldives? I know it sounds stupid but does anyone actually live in the Maldives except for on the main island? Because on holiday programmes where they usually show "the warm culture of the people who live here" all they show here are the beaches and hotel/resorts. The only people are the staff and the tourists. I would love to go to the Maldives.
Where are the best indoor water parks or resorts with large indoor pools in Europe? I live in the UK and need some time off the island & I desparately need a bit of summer this upcoming holiday in December. I looked at all of the places on the Med and the temperatures are only between 16-18. I would be happier spending my day in a hot indoor mega-pool warming my cold miserable body!!!
Which is the nicest of the Canary Islands please? I am thinking of going to Gran Canaria and staying at a resort near the Sand dunes. Would this be good for teenagers? Also is the Gran Canaria expensive destination for a holiday? Thanks Shaggy! I have looked at a hotel there and it looks great. Are the nudists a real problem as my sons would get embarrased by it.
Honeymooning at Sandals... which Island and which room? We are totally stuck on which Sandals resort will be the best for our honeymoon... we are going in March 08, so it would be nice if it was hot, easy beach and pool access, whirlpool in room, friendly service. Also do you know if the cheaper rooms are just as nice, or do they resemble a Holiday inn?
Child-free Holidays...? Hi there! I'm looking to go on a week-long vacation with my friend, to either Fiji or Whitsundays, Queensland. The catch? I dislike children, and am finding it hard to discover resorts that mention they are child-free (clearly, my friend and I are in the minority...). So, my question: any recommendations as to resorts/island/hotels that have strict child policies, or that are less frequented by families? I recently went to Brampton Island with the understanding that they did not cater for children under 15, and yet still found children at the resort. Obviously I am planning to go during school term, to lessen the chances of being surrounded by children on a relaxing holiday. Many thanks in advance, Lou
A challenge for all you Movie Buffs!? I am looking for this film I saw in the year 2002 on a British terrestrial (not SKY, not porno) channel, and it looked like it was shot in the 70's or 80's. The plot follows like this: A guy went on a holiday to a tropical island, and stayed at this hotel run by a 'cowboy' looking guy, his 'big' wife, and his good-looking daughter. He ends up having a romp with the wife (I recall in the water), and the daughter, before the final scene as I recall, him being shot trying to run away on a boat. There was another guy involved as well just can't remember how. Any ideas I would be really grateful. Remember this was NOT a porno, but it was a cheap erotic TV movie on a terrestrial channel. And no its not Private Resort (with Johnny Depp)
Alcudia or Palma Nova? Given the choice which would be better for a holiday this August. We have whittled the choice down to Palma Nova or Alcudia We have been to Majorca before and stayed in Arenal but as it was mostly of a German persuasion would like to try another resort on the island. Bear in Mind I and my wife are in our mid thirties (no kids), like both the peace and quiet (particularly during the day) and a lively atmosphere at night. Does the distance from the airport offer a large advantage (palma 15 mins Alcudia over an hour) thanks

Is this one okay...? ok its just a draft so there will be punctuation mistakes. but is the story line ok or not, it is for a starter story for English. CHAPTER ONE: They call me Jen, but that’s just my nickname, my real name is Jenny Forehand. I am twelve years old and one hundred and fifty seven centimeters tall. Most people say that I am really short and I am, but I hate it and I so wished I was taller like the others. I am a pretty confident person especially since last year when I broke my left wrist in five places! The doctor says he’s never seen that before, I was unique then. I spent two weeks in hospital and six weeks with a half cast on. I felt pretty special not having to do much at school because of it. I’m in sixth grade now and so far its been a pretty good year. “Jen, breakfast is ready” shouts mum. Well that’s my mum, she is a special person. We used to do lots of things together but now that she has two jobs there is little much that we do. Mum has two jobs to earn more money to get us out of this old house we are renting in now. Same as my dad, he is a truck driver and he works around ten hours a day or night. He is always on the road even though he hates that job. “Pass the milk Jenny,” demands Rachael. Rachael is my older sister. She is one year older than me. Rachael is okay in some areas as sisterhood goes, but she annoys me so many times that I feel like punching her or knocking her out just a little, sadly my feelings are all in my head and I may push her sometimes but that is as far as I get. “Where’s the sugar?” asks Ben. Yes you guessed it that is my big brother Ben. He is 7 years older than me and that makes me the youngest of my family. I hate being the youngest because it gives me little advantages to do a lot of stuff. Well as I say to myself to keep me from feeling smaller, youngest is the one that gets spoiled the most. Although mum and dad don’t seem to think so. “Woof, woof!” barks Ted as some hunger pains take over his body. That is my pet dog Ted. Ted has been in my life ever since I was a baby. He is the most special one of all because Ted is like a best friend to me and he listens to all my stories when im upset or feeling grumpy. Ted has been there for every event of my life so far and I hope it stays that way for many more years to come. Well as you see I live in a family of five plus one dog and I love my family to bits. “Come on get in the car or you three will be late for school,” says mum rushing us out the door. Today is Monday and it’s the first day back to school after our two-week holiday we just had. It’s the third term and that’s where it starts to get a little warm in the weather. At my primary school we have school uniform to wear but hardly anyone wears them, they are just out of colour. The tee shirts are yellow with a blue collar and the pants and shorts are navy blue. Oh did I mention that our school is sun smart. Well it is and one piece of uniform we have to wear is a hat. Not just any hat though it has to be a navy blue, broad brim, ugly neck chocking hat, yes and if you don’t bring one to school you have to wear what we call “a burgundy kindy hat.” It’s the hat that has the flap at the back of your head to protect your neck and if kids around see you wearing those hat… well your pretty much laughed at. Any who you don’t just wear the hat you also have to pick up rubbish at recess and lunch. I thought it was a plain stupid punishment, but the good thing was we didn’t have to wear a hat in winter. At least that was ok. Too bad we are in spring. When we got to school I met up with my friends Samantha, Lilly and Katie. Samantha is my best friend; I have known her since prep. We share everything together and we are inseparable. If I was going on an island resort and could only pick one friend to go with me it would be Samantha. She has long brown hair and blue eyes just like me, mum says we look a bit like twins. Lilly is the hypo one. I have known her since grade 1. She is has an out there personality always on the move. Lilly is very active and goes for any opportunity to be in any sport events. She has short, blonde layered hair and hazel green eyes. We are really good friends but she doesn’t quite reach the best friend mark, yet she is still my good friend. Katie, one of the prettiest girls in my primary school. I told her she should be a model when she gets older, but she denies being pretty at all as usual. I have known Katie since half of grade 1 when she was new to the school. Katie is the smart, funny and pretty one in the group and she is three centimeters taller than me. Katie is also my good friend, but she doesn’t quite make the best friend mark either but her and Lilly both know that they are very special friends to me. We all caught up on what each of us did during our holidays and it seemed that they all had fun on theirs, Samantha, Lilly and Katie all went to another place while I stayed at home being bored as usual. I felt a little left
need job ideas? Ok I am an 18 male Australian I am having trouble of deciding what I should do for a job now. I should of probably went on a working holiday at a canadian ski resort but was too dumb to take up the chance this year, I guess I could go for summer and work at a resort and go to a job fair in winter. I should of even got a job in Australia at a ski resort but missed that too. Got to apply april for that So ideas I am thinking now are whitsunday islands area (in QLD,AUS), apply to some resorts there, try a different program overseas through IEP, OWH or STA travel. I just want to work as something I really enjoy and have the chance to meet new people. Things like ski lifty, ski instructor... but I can't think of summer jobs or other jobs so help me out please.
