The romance of just right destination

The cruise is a vacation in itself, but romance starts all over again when your ship docks at your destination. Whether you choose Caribbean, Mexico or South Pacific, you will discover that discounts abound on shore as well. These popular vacation spots offer fabulous deals from local artisans and crafters for you to take home with you.

Seafood and tasty local fare are inexpensive, exotic indulgences for both of you to share. Spend afternoon wrapped up together in a hammock swinging in a tropical breeze under palm trees and you’ll realize that a last minute cruise may be greatest getaway you can give your loved one – what’s more romantic than an unexpected, grand gesture wrapped in warm, salt breezes and golden sunsets and delivered in ultimate luxury?

Trying something you’ve never done before can be a powerful bonding experience, and any cruise vacation provides ultimate choice of new activities to try. Snorkeling, parasailing, windsurfing, rock climbing and scuba are just a few activities that you could try as a couple that will become cherished memories.

How do I pull off a last minute cruise surprise?

Check out destinations, rates and departures for several different cruises, and then get ready to move quickly. Booking last minute cruises can net you big vacation discounts, but spaces available fill up quickly, so you should get in mindset that you need to make a decision fairly quickly if you spot perfect trip.

There are a few things you’ll want to take care of before you spring your romantic surprise on her so that she won’t have to spend few weeks leading up to her departure worrying. Once you have a few dates picked out, put them on hold if possible and start making some phone calls:

- Contact her boss and explain that you would like to arrange a few of her vacation days if possible. Explain that it is a surprise and ask him or her to keep secret.

- Talk to her best friend to find out if any appointments are necessary. Will she want a pedicure a few days before leaving? Set one up.

- Let her parents in on secret as well, but swear them to secrecy, too.

- Arrange for any pet care needed, including boarding of dogs or cats if necessary.

- If you have children, make arrangements for them to stay with their grandparents or friends and swear them to secrecy. This will be toughest sell – kids have trouble with big secrets, but try!

- Check her date book – if she has made any appointments or plans that will need to be rearranged, call and explain that you are planning a surprise trip, and that she may be calling later to cancel at last minute. This will soften news when she does call later to cancel her appointments.

- Get ready for some romantic days and nights on your last minute cruise that you won’t soon forget!

Theft issues. They will steal your shirt off your back if your not looking. However, very little armed robbery. Again it’s a very safe country if you use common sense as to where you go.

Bank safety. The government seems to be more honorable than most countries. When A local banker stole 2.5 billion dollars from a local bank government stood behind bank and paid back money, but in pesos. You wouldn’t get your money back if a U.S or Western Country banker stole that much money.

Corruption. The banker stole 2.5 billion and walked away as free as a bird. He is flying around in his helicopters and cruising in one of his private yahts in French Riviera right now. While poor people can’t even buy a green banana to eat. Why? That’s Dominican system. If your going to steal… steal big. You can walk away as free as a bird. Steal a Papaya and you could be gunned down in street. Both events actually happened in Dominican Republic. Moral of story. Steal 2.5 billion dallars and you walk. Steal a papaya and you can be shot dead. You can buy your way out of anything in Dominican Republic with 2.5 billion dollars. But if you don’t have 100 pesos for papaya you could be in trouble.

Not to worry, International Monitary Fund is repacing all of money, no questions asked. They swept whole scandel under rug and have committed to return all stolen money. You decide if IMF is promoting corruption. The American Embassy screamed about scandel. But IMF is standing behind there decision to replace stolen money and they are not demanding that banker be held accountable for crime.

But lets look at over all picture. Would I recommend Dominican Republic for retirement or a vacation . You bet your life I would. I love it. I am a 56 year old bachelor and young women think I am Elvis Presley come back to life. Admittedly I have a stong resemblence and my name is Elvis and I was born in Mississippi and I later lived in Menphis. However, if you bachelors don’t know how and where to look for nice girls you can and will go home empty handed without your Miss Universe. I couldn’t possibly pick one wife out of all these beautiful women so I decicided to keep just keep them all for myself. But one day my vacation will come to an end and I will take my Miss Universe bride home to live in Graceland. I’m coming home. The King. Elvis King. Since I can’t write songs any more I decided to write articles. Elvis.
