Getting Antsy

· 🌡️ 36°F

Have I mentioned I can't wait for this semester to be over? I'm starting to get nervous about getting into this Nuke Med Tech program. Last year they had 44 applicants for 14 spots. Hopefully my enthusiasm and grades in everything else will make up for my bad grade in physics. I do think physics is interesting but I just don't think in mathematical equations.

So I should be more concerned with finals but really all I can think about is where the hell I'm going to go on vacation this spring. It's really a shame the dollar sucks right now, that has pretty much ruled out a big potion of Europe this year. The thing that really sucks is all the cheap flights are to places that are really expensive. Sure a flight to London can be found for under $500 if you look real hard, But I would be limited to a week considering the cost of getting around and sleeping and such. Anyway so far my travel destination hopefuls are down to Vietnam, India, Iran, Dominican Republic, Northern Spain, Mozambique, Seychelles, and Mexico. In all likelihood Spain and Seychelles will not happen unless I hit a massive windfall this spring. Also cost of flights to Iran and Mozambique may rule those out. Does anyone have any suggestions to really awesome places that are off the beaten path, that are relatively cheap to travel in/too?? Preferably they will have cheap beer as well.

    I've heard countries in Central America/South America are cheap to travel into and around. Guatemala, Columbia, Bolivia, Peru are some that I've heard are cheap.

    Let me know if you want to borrow our LP Vietnam book!

    Cheap to go and cheap is why people in California go to Mexico. I remember when I was checking into going on some trips I ran into what you where saying. A flight (jet blue i think) to Nassu, Behamas was less then $200 round trip I think. But if you are going to stay at Atlantis it is really expensive. I saw just the opposite for Hiwai I think it was only like $300 or $400 dollars for 5 days in some decent hotel I guess of course you have to pay your own plane fare, from what I have heard it is very, very expensive. I don't know if this is true but I have heard the Dominican Republic is very nice and that they have some very nice all inclusive places and I guess you can find your own kind of fun and trouble if that is what you are looking for.
