May Getaway
 

Planning a week-long getaway in May. Looking for an affordable (around $1000 per person) trip. Priorities are relaxation and great snorkeling/diving. Not interested in Cancun, Punta Cana, Bahamas. Any suggestions?

Work another job, you will need more money than that, espically since you excluded all the cheapie vacation destinations.<BR><BR>Are you including airfare into that $1000.00 figure?<BR><BR>Anyway, it's not too late to write a letter to Santa.

Altho May is considered low season in the Caribbean, $1000/person is going to be hard, especially if you're including airfare....<BR><BR>I'd say probably Puerto Rico or Jamaica would definitely have specials with air&amp;land packages. May is GREAT for these islands, cause it's not in hurricane season.<BR><BR>Hope this helps.

$1000 pp is tough! Suggest you try Club Med , one of the auction sites (skyauction.com, bid4vacations.com, etc.), or an agency which specializes in last minute travel (www.changes.com, www.moments-notice.com, www.lastminutetravel.com, www.11thhourvacations.com, etc.).<BR>

hi there!<BR><BR>i don't think it'll be that bad at all. you might not be able to stay in a 5 star hotel, but def a 3 star and maybe even 4. <BR><BR>i suggest puerto rico or florida. take a look at expedia.com. i found my 9 day package (air and 4.5 star hotel) for 1,300ish. if it's only for 7 days, i am pretty sure you'll find a place.<BR><BR>also, try a travel agent. they are not that bad and they can work with your budget and can give you more options than you might think.<BR><BR>good luck!
