As I mentioned before, I like to plan my vacations for the summer the year before. I often do research about a couple of different locations with my sister and then we decide where we would like to travel that year.
One of my favorite places to travel is the Caribbean! I have been to Mexico, Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas. I love the beach and the warm climate (I grew up in California and am still a warm weather type of girl) that tropical vacations have to offer!
While searching around on the web, I came across a great site with hundreds of articles on island vacations and cruises. This site has to do with all kinds of Tropical Vacations and is called Warm Islands. Not only do they have specific information on each island in the Caribbean, but there are also articles about things to do, places to stay, sightseeing and dining options.
Besides the great articles and easy to navigate menus, the site also has its own Member Forum. The forums offer great advice and comments about tropical vacations and cruises. I took a peek at the Mexico forum and found advice that I could have used on my last vacation to Cozumel. If you need advice, or even if you can give advice, I would highly recommend visiting the forum!
One of the options I am looking at for my next vacation, is a cruise. I have never been on one, but my friends who have tell me they are fantastic! On Warm Islands there are plenty of articles about every aspect of the cruise industry including booking your cruise, cruising basics, food, and shopping. In the forums I found information on each cruise line with explanation of various programs.
Like I said, I am a planner, and there is nothing better for planning than a great site with awesome information!
