Love The Ideal Life On A Gay Caribbean Cruise

January 21st, 2010

Going on a gay Caribbean cruise is like going on your own personal adventure that has been tailored made just for your needs. There are all kinds of cruises offered by cruise lines these days, but the gay Caribbean cruise is the highlight of them all. Why? For many reasons, actually. Leading the list of reasons is that this is the one vacation that you can have that will allow you to be totally and complete open.

The gay Caribbean cruise is set up to allow you total freedom even when it comes down to how you interact with family. This encourages behavior that is born out of total freedom.

Many couples are simply thrilled to be part of their community while being able to do normal everyday things that most couples do. Being separated from the straight community for awhile can be very liberating, even for conservative couples.

Of course if you can’t use the word conservative to describe anything about you, not even your socks, then you have also found the perfect vacation destination. Some people have returned from the cruise describing their time aboard as a nice family  vacation. Others have returned to describe their vacation as a never ending pride event.  These two descriptions have come off the same cruise line and the same ship.

Most people go on a gay Caribbean cruise because no matter how out or closeted you may feel you are there is nothing quite like being the majority for awhile. It’s quite different from some other types of gay travel experiences. It’s not hard to find the full spectrum that you’re looking for. You can hit the dance floor  looking for partners just as easily as you can take a stroll around the moonlit deck with  your partner. It’s all relative to you.

It’s all about fun, freedom, and celebrating everything you can about being you. The gay community has much to celebrate these days. You might just want to kick it with your own people and stop analyzing it to death. This is your gay Caribbean cruise, so you get to do with it whatever you please.

Gay Travel To Puerto Rico – A Trip Worth Going

January 21st, 2010

It may surprise you to learn that Puerto Rico is a gay travel destination that is quite happy to welcome all to their island.

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is a small unincorporated island territory of the United States of America. Yet this tiny island is far ahead of other developed areas in terms of broad mindedness and tolerance. The government here has recently legalized same-sex partnerships in this territory, making it a welcome destination for many gay couples and group.

The largest city on this territory is that of San Juan. It is an old and established center for trade and commerce. The island was discovered by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to the New World. Then the Arawak Indians who inhabited this island welcomed the Genoans with open arms, and the locals have been welcoming guests ever since.

It is not a wonder that many people from all over the globe clamor to come to this island paradise, including plenty of gay vacation participants. English is the major language spoken here, dollars are the prime currency and a wealth of cultural, historical and natural heritage fills niche of this place.

Evenings are time for fiestas, music and dancing. Fusion cuisine is the style that is followed here. One of the best places to sample this is at the old city quarters of SoFo in San Juan.

After the city is explored comes the turn of El Yunque the rainforest. These forests are home to a wide range of flora and fauna, as well as stunning hills, tropical trees and waterfalls. The island of Vieques near San Juan is another wonder of nature. The waters of the inlets and bays around this small island are home to luminescent algae, giving off an eerie glow at night.

The island boasts a number of natural beauty spots like the Cathedral Caves with staggering natural formations of stalactites and stalagmites. Also to be seen is the Rio Camuy Cave Park, which is a feature containing the tropical surrounds of an underground river. Nearby is the island of Vieques, which has a sheltered inlet bay filled with bio-luminescent flora and fauna.

This magical island discovered by Christopher Columbus is now a haven for world weary tourists. It provides a mystic getaway from the hustle of city life, the inflexible attitude of people and the travails of everyday life.

Gay Tours Go Above And Beyond To Entertain

January 21st, 2010

All travelers face the same planning decisions, but lets face it when it comes to the gay tour, it really is necessary to plan something special. Gay and lesbian vacationers enjoy seeing the sights and visiting museums, but they need something a little special in their itinerary, because like all straight people, Gay people also like to meet like-minded people in the countries they visit on vacation.

Plenty of questions need to be asked when planning a vacation, questions like; what tour or cruise? What time of year and where to? As well as how to get the best possible tour for your travel dollar!

You also have the right to select who you would like to travel with on any given tour. It  is important to realize that on a cruise or a tour, you will be sharing your vacation  with other people. You must be comfortable with your traveling companions.

Research into any type of travel is vital for it to be successful. Informing yourself of  the available options and exploring pros and cons, can assure you of a relaxing time.  People of all sexual orientations like to stay within the confines of their own comfort  zones, although many other people also enjoy diversity and don’t really care who they  travel with. Part of the adventure of travel is meeting new people, so you need to make  sure they are people you would like to meet.

There is also the aspect of being single to consider. If you are single, going on a  completely heterosexual tour, may make you friends for life, but it is unlikely you will  find any romance. If you are looking for holiday or long term romance specifically, you  will be defeating the object by taking a tour made up principally of straight people.  You may choose to become part of the ever-growing gay travel market.

The more diverse your choices are, the better your price options will be, and this is an important consideration. Flexibility and the willingness to mix with diversity allows the traveler to be surrounded by a potpourri of travelers and locals at your destinations, and also allows for bargains to be taken advantage of.

Whichever option you choose, be sure to go to a destination that will be tolerant of your sexual orientation.  Gay travel to Brazil has become an increasingly popular choice.
