So hubby and I are thinking about where to go for our one year anniversary (more or less - we might travel in early May since April is a busy month at my job...)
We originally had our hearts set on Aruba, but now are looking around for something more economical. Please suggest a vacation destination that you've been to... the only requirement is that we need to be at the BEACH!
Thanks

April Nesties March siggy challenge: Next Vacation, Anguilla!!
We went to the Bahamas and it was GREAT!! I am not sure I would recommend Breezes Bahamas in Nasseau. They had their good points, but some bad points too. There is a Sandals there, which of course is pricier than Breezes. We LOVED it though and it was a lot less than Aruba AND closer (which made me happy).
GL!

Wellllllll we went to Aruba on our Honeymoon and stayed here:

And it was only $2,000 for the both of us. Not sure how "reasonable" that is for you....
We are going here....this will be our last chance to go somewhere (we'll start TTC after the trip) so 5-Star, Butler service it is!

We LOVEEE cheap carribean!
Oh, and do you have a Costco membership? They have some amazing travel deals! I would check them out.
And my parents are going to Mazatlan in a few weeks through Costco and said that it is quite cheap.
I second Cocoa Beach - my brother lived there for several years and it was one of my favorite aspects of visiting his family :-)
I also second the Florida Keys - H and I vacationed there while we were dating, and they have beautiful private type islands accessible only by ferry, with no cars allowed that are super clean and the water is simply azure blue and amazing!!!
Another local place that I would recommend is Catalina Island, off the coast of CA. Simply stunning, beautiful beaches, and still not overrun with tourists...and fairly great weather year-round...this place is also on our short list for our anniversary trip as well as the Keys, if we decide to stay local. Also, we have been to Bermuda many times, and it is definitely one of our favortie "quick" getaway places, but it's really not that far...there is nothing not to like about Bermuda!!
Good Luck!!
the Keys would be really fun. If you wait until May they will start having off-season rates and it will be a lot cheaper, too!
You girls are full of good ideas!
DH and I are in the process of selecting a cruise to go on in February/March which ends up being fairly economical with all your entertainment and food included. You can also get some great deals that time of year before it gets really hot.
DH and I were looking at trips to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. From central Wisconsin for five nights, the price was roughly $2,600.
This is the one we were looking at: http://www.allinclusiveoutlet.com/vacations/resorts/catalonia/catalonia-royal-bavaro/
Gets some pretty good reviews on Trip Advisor too.
Happy searching!

Thanks soo much!!!! For those of you that have been to the Florida Keys - give me more info - where to stay, things to do, etc. It looks beautiful!
I've been to Fort Lauderdale, but I wouldn't mind trying a new Florida beach.
And by economical, I would say like $2000 total or less for hotel and air?
