Grand Bahama Island, The Diamond House

If you are interested in snorkeling in turquoise blue water and laying on stark white sandy beaches then the Bahamas would be the place to visit! Particularly the Grand Bahama Island. Driving around this island you will find deserted beaches or just beaches that have a local bar sitting right on them so you can take your drink with you in the water, or in the car! Of course I do not promote drinking and driving, but the rules over there, though being a safe place with great people, are very free. If visiting be sure to see the Lucayan National Park (great caves and miles of deserted beaches), Port Lucaya (great food and local night life on a beautiful harbor), Xanadu Beach and the Westin pool area. It is great, it sits right on the beach and there is a swim up bar and beautiful white sand to also enjoy.
We rented a house for a week, the Diamond House right by Fortuna Beach. It was nice. There was six people that stayed there total and it accommodated all of us nicely. There is a beach bar in walking distance, the water is right at your house, a hot tub and BBQ on deck, and the location was key! The food over there is very expensive, I mean like $8.00 for a bag of chips, so stock up on what you can before you go, there is not much in the house, not even the essentials for the bathroom. I would highly recommend getting a cleaning service to come in frequently if sand on the floor or dirty towels bother you. By the end of the trip I was ready for my own bed. Though it gave us some great memories and it was a great location I was wishing for something a little cleaner and it was tough going to the Westin for a day and getting an amazing massage and being in luxury and then going back to a dirty house (which was our fault and we could have ordered a cleaning service, next time we know)that had mosquitos. Definitely take lots of bug spray if you are going during the summer! It was a great trip and a great way to travel on a budget! Renting a house when traveling can save you a lot of money and it's a fun way to travel with other people, just get a cleaning service so you don't feel like you're traveling on such a budget.

Southern Irealnd
If I was not living in the United States I would live in Ireland. The beautiful scenery to the friendly people make it a great place to be, and as a girl, I felt safe walking home from a pub in the middle of the night by myself. Southern Ireland is really a true emerald island. Everything is so green, probably because it rains a lot, but it makes a scenic island. The Cliffs of Mohr with a 600 foot drop is breath taking. Driving to Connemara is not something to miss either. The typical rolling hills which make up the extensive farm land are endless and beautiful, and you will drive to the Kelyemore Abby, which is a sight in itself. Most people that visit southern Ireland think that Dublin is just another "city" I personally found so much history and culture there, it is good to spend a full day sightseeing, shopping and exploring St. Patrick's Cathedral. My two most favorite places, which are very close to each other, in the country are the enchanting town of Kerry and the beautiful views and drive of the Dingle Peninsula. The Dingle Peninsula is a must see!
Ireland can be explored by back packing, staying in a bed and breakfast (which is my favorite because you can really explore the culture), and by the luxury of gorgeous hotels and castles. I was fortunate to stay in the Drumoland Castle, which is a real working castle today. The grounds as well as room were amazing, it is a 5 star, expensive but worth every penny hotel. You are treated like royalty when staying here. Ireland is a great country for everyone. There is plenty to do and see. The food is great and so are the pubs!

To the Tahitian Islands

If anyone is looking for the ideal paradise it would have to be the Tahitian Islands, Moorea specifically. I went to the Pearl Resort on Moorea in the beginning of May and it was absolutely beautiful. The clearest water, most exotic fish, friendly people, gorgeous sights and great culture. A lot of people have a stereotype of the French, and I have to say that going there I had my own in mind as well, but that went right out the window when I stepped foot off of the airplane. The people are friendly and simply amazing. Moorea is very lush and the island is very driver friendly so you can journey around and go from beach to beach or just lay on the warm sand of where you stay. The Perl Resort is rated in mid notch as far as how pricey things can get, though our stay there was exceptional. Staying in an over the water bungalow and having the staff at every need can not be beat. The resort has beautiful grounds and I was very impressed with it.
Bora Bora was pretty as well but I feel that there is a lot of hype there for a more run down island. I stayed on the cheaper end of the island (which the whole island looks the same) at Club Med. Club Med was amazing. All inclusive are a great way to go and I can't praise enough how great the staff was! It would be worth going back to Bora Bora to be at Club Med. The island itself just doesn't have a lot to offer and if I was not at Club Med I would have been bored because it rains a lot on Bora Bora. I do have to say that the world famous restaurant and bar, Bloody Mary's, was to die for! And I would go back to Bora Bora just to eat there. The fish is caught fresh that day and prepared to your liking. It was amazing! Club Med made my Bora Bora experience and the whole Island of Moorea made my whole Tahiti experience. It will be a place that I plan to visit again in the hopeful near future. A tropical paradise just doesn't get better then Tahiti, so when you are looking for the best, it could get a little pricy but worth every penny.
