Hi there,
So I'll be able to take 2-3 weeks off from the end of December into January, and I need some ideas on where to spend it! I'm looking for nice tropical beaches, good weather, good diving and inexpensive accommodation. Its a tall order, I know. I don't mind spending time or money to get there since this will probably be my last long trip for a while. I'm not a resort person but I love to stay right on the beach in an open-air structure. I've just turned 30 years young so I'm still looking for some adventure and I prefer more remote places with rustic accommodation. There should be enough people around for me to share a beer and play some cards with - but quiet enough that I can fall asleep to the sound of waves at night. I spent a month on Samoa a few years ago and I loved it there, also traveled to Thailand - but I'm looking for somewhere new. I'm currently conteplating Fiji or Utila or Belize, but I'm concerned that it will be the rainy season in all cases. I don't mind a little rain each day - but I need some sunshine! Am I over-concerned about the rain? I feel like I'm missing some obvious places but not sure yet where. I'm still a bit of a novice (20 dives) - so I would like to dive somewhere where I can get a good handle on my skills and maybe get my advanced - but I think I can achieve that almost anywhere.
Thanks for your help!
