LESjunkie Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 so I've got these two tickets anywhere in the US that I need to use up before April. I'm looking for something romantic, tropical, and amazing for two cool ,young gay lovers in their early twenties. (i only mention the sexual orientation so no one comes at me with ideas of spring break in south padre texas or various unwelcoming; shitty places)obviously Miami is ideal...but I've been to miami so many times and it is more nightlife oriented anyway. It seems that South Florida or maybe flying to SanDiego and driving to Mexico might be the only options? Can anyone offer some suggestions? Something with beautiful beaches....anything good in the keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest web_norah Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 i'd suggest checking out San Diego, very pretty, not humid and has a great restaurant thing going on (not sure about nightlife there, i really went to relax).......or Scottsdale, Arizona. what about Bermuda?

Guest JMT Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 go to L.A. (stay in west hollywood), you can drive to San Diego and Mexico is only a short drive away. but Tijiuana is very dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guyman1966 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 go to L.A. (stay in west hollywood), you can drive to San Diego and Mexico is only a short drive away. but Tijiuana is very dirty.West Hollywood has a terrific gay community but its not very tropical.And I don't recommend driving to Mexico from CA. Most rental car companies will not let you do that.Can the tickets fly you to Alaska in the summer? How about Hawaii?If it has to be the continental US - Have you been to Key West?

LESjunkie Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 One ticket is anywhere American flies...the other is only contiguous 48 US states, which blows, because ideally we'd fly to Hawaii or South America or somewhere exotic where everyone speaks Spanish. (love latin culture) So yeah, i'll be giving up a major travel opportunity by using the international one domestically, but it's worth it to travel with your better half, you know? I could go to hawaii alone, but would have an empty heart. whatever. im slightly bitter. the thing is, the travel needs to commence before April 15th. Climates across the US in that time period arent ideal, aside from Fl, for tropical weather (sun, not hurricanes). So California isnt as enticing as it would be during the summer...I dont know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they arent that great in key West. PS I SCUBA dive too, which might make the keys a cool place to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrzyC1414779017 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 The beach sucks in Key West, there really isnt one. But you can stay in a nice bed and breakfast (OFF DUVAL St) and then go snorkeling, diving, parasailing during the day. Plus if you guys wanna get totally schnockered one night you will have that option too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guyman1966 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 As already said - the beaches in Key West suck. There is one public beach. I do like the Casa Marina - that hotel has a nice pool and private beach. Key West has TONS of Diving, boating, and a very vibrant gay community. You can even stay at a gay B&B (many to choose from).We go down to Key West 2x per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LESjunkie Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 thanks for all this info, guys, you're very helpful. I may try to also sell the domestic ticket and use the profit from that towards buying an international ticket (maybe Puerto Rico...) to complement the one I already have. American flies to Puerto Rico for around $200... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trancepriest Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I heard rural South Carolina is not so bad. I'm amazed that some of you conservatives know some pretty hot gay spots... Guyman in particular... even down to the Bed and Breakfast thing... hehe. ;D Wow just shows you can't label a conservative.If your thinking of going international.. try out Kingston, Jamaica. Very hot gayspot indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LdySphynx Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 What about the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, it's all inclusive ;D.If not Las Vegas believe it or not can be very romantic, there's more to Vegas than Gambling and Partying!!!

Guest Devilicious Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Definitely look into Jamaica. There's a Hedonism resort in Negril for ya. I found Jamaica in general to be very romantic. Hiking up waterfalls and relaxing on the beaches (which are gorgeous) sipping the best pina colodas you can imagine, kayaking, swimming...and if you want to party there's no shortage of ways to get down either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
