The fine people at Portland Holidays Direct are always looking out for us by putting together great deals to places we can go and do nothing: [1] Portland Holidays - Click Here!

If you look at the impressive list on their site you see that except for perhaps Egypt this company doesn’t waste a lot of time on the cultural places. Who wants to spend their whole holiday going from one museum to another anyway? Not me. If I want to see a famous painting I look it up on the internet. But if I want to sit on a beach and drink cheap lager all day, I have to do it in person.

Maybe one day the internet will become so advanced that we can do things like that online, but that day is still years away. In the meantime, check out some of the deals to the Caribbean. Your money will go a long way down there as long as you avoid those tiny islands run by the French and the Dutch. The ones that used to belong to Spain are where you want to go. They are much more fun and cheaper too, but don’t tell your French and Dutch friends or the prices might go up.
