yup, el salvador!
TheBad has been working overtime to get our savings up so we could take a trip. There were a lot of expensive choices and I finally went to a travel agent and gave her our budget (cheap-to sorta cheap) and our requirements: beach, sun, warm, tropical, cheap. She gave us a long list: Mexico, Cuba, Domincan Republic... and somewhere in there was ... El Salvador. It fulfilled our 2ndary requirements: something to do outside of a resort, something exciting to see, and Inexpensive.
So now we'll be going off for 7 days to El Salvador. Holy crap are we excited. We've never really had a honeymoon, or gone on a vacation that didn't involve family. So it looks like El Salvador has just about everything we could want: the hotel is on the beach and has 6 pools, its all inclusive, they have tours. Lots of day tours: go to Mayan ruins, go to a volcano, etc. And unlike a lot of places it isn't so well known as say Costa Rica is, so there's a ton to do and it won't cost as much as tours to other places.
so. Departing Feb 9th and returning late on Feb 16 (my birthday). Yup, i'll be having a birthday breakfast in El Salvador. Somehow i never guessed I'd say that! lol
trip,
el salvador
