When do you plan to go? Sometime in the next month or two or just sometime this year?

You could pop down to Oz for the F1 race, but the airfare and hotel would be expensive.

You could wait until the fall and go to Monterey for the Historics at Laguna and tack NorCal wine tourism on the end of it. Or you could go to Miatas at MRLS instead of the Historics and do the same.

I enjoyed Oahu a lot. Pearl Harbor, Waikiki beach, North Shore, etc. Can be expensive if you don't have a hookup.

 

The beach a Cap Juluca Resort:

There is a wonderful spa here at Malliouhana Resort:

And it is right down the mile-long empty Meads Bay beach

from very nice yet reasonable accommodations at Anacaona Boutique Hotel. Also reasonable and on a nearby beach is the beach is the Anguilla Great House Resort.


And the island is able to be reached by air (American Airlines) (airport code AXA) or by twenty minute ferryboat ride ($20) from St. Maarten (airport code SXM) where jets land over the beach and blast tourists on takeoff.


On St. Martin/Maarten the entire French side is topless and has some nude beaches as well (southeast end of Orient Beach) but Anguilla (British) is far quieter and prettier. It is very easy to hop back and forth between the two islands.
