I need a vacation; suggestions?

[Cool 50th AE]

As an adult I have never been on a vacation.
Back about 10 years ago I started a thread at the other place asking for suggestions and I never went anywhere.

Florida would be my 1st choice because it’s only a 2-hour flight.
But every resort website I check out is like a Walmart of resorts even at the high-end spots.
They all show a pool surrounded by 200 lounge chairs that can’t be quiet or relaxing.

I want a quiet beach area that still has high end restaurants.

I don’t have a passport and I hear that places like Turks and Caicos are what I want.

Now that i don't work I will buy a one way airline ticket and worry about coming back when i feel like it.

I hear Palestine is nice this time of year.

If you really want pristine beaches in FL without crowds and resorts Amelia Island is it.

I’m ready to book something ASAP to leave this month If I can find a destination.
I don’t need a $700 night hotel because who spends time in a hotel room when on vacation?

I would like to go look at the Pyramids and Sphinx in Egypt.

Attending a British Premiere League fixture in England would rule.

Watching some Australian Football League footie in the land down under - **** yes!

I don't have a passport and don't want a really long flight but it must be hot beach weather and quiet.
Screaming kids and noise would drive me crazy.

Cross the border at Ft. Hancock, TX, slip the Mexican border guard a Benjamin, no passport needed. From there, just head south.

I was merely presenting thoughts to entice one to get that passport.

The USA of course is awesome, but the rest of the World is cool also. Quit being a negativity magnet and throw out some unique vacation ideas.

I just want to sit down with my feet in the sand, the sun beating down on me and a blueberry colada in my hand with nothing but the sound of crashing waves echoing.

A Caribbean vacation isn't out of reach without a passport if you stick to the U.S. Virgin Islands: St. John, St. Croix and St. Thomas. Since they're U.S. territories, a government-issued photo ID or birth certificate with a raised seal will suffice.

Depends on who you are standing next to in the pool.

You'd probably like Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa.

Private beach.
Jupiter isn't overrun by tourists.
Plenty of nice restaurants within 3 miles.
