hi lisa. i had a very bad time in greece a few years ago.
i found the people rude where i stayed and some guy kept trying to get into our room at night.
still, i guess i shouldnt shun it due to one bad experience. i will deffinatly consider it.

as much as id like to go to the bahamas etc, i really am on a budget this year. so need to stay within europe i imagine.. or just a little outside of.
cheep and cheerful is what i need.

jamaica... id love to go there, and the maldives. but i think it would take me about 3 years of constant saving to get there lol.
we are thinking of having a long weekend to one week away.
damn the credit crunch!!! i miss my 2 holidays a year lol

im a european truck driver as was in croatia 3 weeks ago , its a beautiful country , i went to a city called ZADAR on the coast , was chatting to a croatian guy where i was loading (dead friendly) everyone i met there , he was saying about the city and how popular its getting as a tourist spot , i would certainly recommend croatia , have fun

Answer 2

Greece - doesn't matter which part if you want friendly locals 99% of Greeks are truly wonderful people.
Beautiful weather during the summer months, stunning scenery and views, inland as well as on the coast.
Interesting history and folk stories.
Delicious food.
Some truly quiet and remote spots with lively entertainment not too far away if you want it.
Lindos is my fav, ~Rhodes is a lively island with cosmopolitan Rhodes town, loud and lively Faliraki, chilled Lindos, Pefkos, Prassonissi, and Afandou all well worth a visit (or stop over).
Drives around the island off the usual tourist trail are amazing.
Doesn't take to long to get there. There is no likelihood of you getting shot at or blown up while you are there.
Guess where my next hol is going to be :-)

Dallas Texas

I've been there and it's amazing, becuase they don't get too many tourists when you arrive they treat you like royalty. The hotels are amazing especially the Hyatt. Good food and very friendly

Hope this helped
