Yeah, shiznaz you put my feelings better than I did regarding the pretty bikes.
Also, I keep picturing Naomi Campbell's place in Jamaica from the footage I saw once on (*cough*) Cribs.
Like little tiny cottagy type places right on this little lagoon with the foliage hanging down into the water. THAT is the type of vacation I'm looking for. Unfortunately the place I saw was likely on Ian Fleming's former estate (which makes it even more awesome), and the 1-bdrm goes for about $700usd/night.
So yeah, I'm not looking for adventure as much as sitting on my duff with a fruity tropical drink in my hand with lots of umbrellas in it, and floating around in the ocean. I'm certainly not against doing touristy things (zipline = awesome), but it's more a matter of being able to escape them whenever I want. Natural beauty, not the inside of an American-owned compound.
