Just kinda wanna goto some cool spots in the caribean. Kinda curious. Watersports, beach activities, into site see if it wasnt boring. Im soso when it comes to motion sickness but from what ive heard as long as you have a good room its not huge issue? Do you usually fly?
I always fly. I'd hurl on a boat. From what I hear, the room is one part of it but so is having the motion sickness patch, and even that isn't a guarantee.
There are a number of places you can go. The two more affordable options which will allow you to do much of what you want are Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. I'm older then you so I go to the quieter North Coast of the DR. The beaches are beautiful and there are water sports for my kids. Cabarete is great for surfing. Las Terrenas is great for a laidback beach vibe with a twist of Europe blended with a rough edged Dominican fishing village. Not much else to do though except eat in some good places and hang out. Closer to Santo Domingo, you can check out La Romana and see the Colonial Zone in Santo Domingo.
I took my kids to Rincon last summer in Puerto Rico where they also surfed. San Juan is a good option for you because you can go to nice beaches and also check out Old San Juan. Unless you plan on going to Cartagena, Old San Juan is a cool place to check out if you like that old Spanish architecture and I like it more than Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone.
The places I've given you are all cool in their own way and more affordable than other parts of the Caribbean.
I don't do all inclusives but if that's what you want then check out Punta Cana in the DR. It's costlier than the rest of the DR. Hope this helps and enjoy wherever it is you go.
**** RVA, you're on point! I'm paying you the next time I want to book a trip!
You can actually come along Lust. I try to take my kids and niece away each summer for 2 weeks. I've got to consider a number of things in deciding where to go. I also hate the ripoff side of the Caribbean so I try to avoid that. If I'm going to get gauged then at least let it be in Europe.
At some point I hope I'm living in one of these places. I go so much because I feel better in that environment.
