Island Dreamin

So it's summertime.  The time of the year when you wanna be lazy and do nothing but watch the cabana boys clean the pool while taking breaks to fan you with a palm branch while feeding you grapes...ahhhhhhhh sounds so good!  As luxurious as that sounds, reality is such that I hold a regular day job and my next vacation is in December.  So.........I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I'd like to do.  Normally vacations exist of me taking time off to do nothing but piddle around the house never really having done anything that resembles a real vacation and then all of a sudden, before I know it, the week is up and I'm driving back to work wondering why I even took the time off in the first place.  I'm actually trying to plan a getaway for this December's vacation, but where?

I've been looking at online websites for all-inclusive island getaways.  That sounds so nice.  Just thinking about being somewhere with no Rt. 301 traffic sounds wonderful.  White sandy beaches, beautiful blue-green waters, sunshine and tanning oils, icy frosty colorful drinks with cute umbrellas and pineapple garnishes just entice me.  It almost makes me forget that I'm actually thinking of being on a beach around other people with nothing but a bathing suit on...of course, they'll never see me again, so really, what does it matter?! 

Have suggestions as to where to go? I'd love to hear from you!  Remember, $ is a factor, so suggesting a week getaway to the Ritz Carlton 5 Star resort would be a pipe dream :)
