She'd like to spend a week or two where the weather is nice. She's not big on vacationing alone. She thought perhaps a destination with an activity, like an adult tennis camp, would be a good way to meet people in a low-pressure setting. She is most definitely NOT into a singles scene. I figure if anyone can come up with an idea, it will be one of you! Any thoughts?   Phil Citizen Username: Barleyrooty Post Number: 654 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Thursday, June 5, 2003 - 11:50 pm:        Near or far? Rich or cheap?   viva Citizen Username: Viva Post Number: 245 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, June 6, 2003 - 8:37 am:        tell her to go to www.travelzoo.com/top20 for last minute deals   greenetree Supporter Username: Greenetree Post Number: 1641 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, June 6, 2003 - 9:48 am:        Phil- Moderate. We've narrowed it down to somewhere with a beach, tennis and spa. She's got some frequent flier miles, so the ticket would probably be free. Viva- Very cool site!   Phil Citizen Username: Barleyrooty Post Number: 656 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, June 6, 2003 - 1:47 pm:        Some ideas: Dominican Republic - cheaper but far Bermuda - expensive but close Kiawah Island, SC - moderately expensive - beautiful http://recreation.kiawahresort.com/ Key West - cheaper, more busy Best idea: ask Patty at Maplewood Travel!   oots Citizen Username: Oots Post Number: 82 Registered: 6-2001 Posted on Friday, June 6, 2003 - 6:48 pm:        ditto for patty!   Chalmers Citizen Username: Chalmers Post Number: 1 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Friday, June 6, 2003 - 9:10 pm:        We went to Sanibel Harbour Resort and Spa right off Sanibel Island in Fort Myers, Fla. over Easter. The tennis (clay court) and spa facilities are top-notch and the beach has some amazing shells.
