Looking for PARADISE
OK, I'm outta gas, and I need to recharge my batteries with my vacation this
christmas (how's that for mixing metaphors?). I'm currently in Congo, and I have a 2 week break which falls right in the busy time of year: right before Xmas until right after New Year. I'm visualizing a place to go and relax; it doesn't have to be in Africa, but I'm posting here because I figure r.t.a. readers are some of the most well-travelled people on the planet. I'm willing to go anywhere in the world, and I'm travelling with my girlfriend. What I am visualizing: --I can see in my mind's eye someplace tropical, with a waterfall, a self-contined hut, and a jungle. Lots of birds and flowers, and great scenery that makes you go Ahhhh! Not too far from civilization (for food shopping, etc) but not in the middle of Touron Central, either. Definately NOT a lot of 18-25 year olds partying all night: I'm into places that aren't yet too discovered. Prices aren't too bad, and I can spend my days lounging on a sand beach, or flyfishing below the waterfall, or swimming in the stream, and just relaxing. Any suggestions? --riverman |

Looking for PARADISE
Try the Andaman Islands. Limited birds and flowers, but great for
relaxing, camping, forests, village life, etc. I run a dive resort on one of the islands there (upfront disclosure). It has info on how to get there, and things to do, and stuff. www.diveindia.com is the site. It is focused on one particular island for now, but it has links to travel agents, flight/boat booking sites, etc. Feel free to email me at vkalia at diveindia dot com if you want more info (I dont check this email). riverman ) wrote: : OK, I'm outta gas, and I need to recharge my batteries with my vacation this : christmas (how's that for mixing metaphors?).

About one hour (75kms. of dirt roads) from something resembling civilisation. The hotel did a fantastic breakfast for about $2US. I think I might catch a couple of days there over the Christmas break. Richard |
