CHEAP, CHEAP CHEAP vacation spots?
My boyfriend and I got invited on a vacation with his best friend's family in June. They have two beach front properties rented out and we were both going to pay $100 a piece to cover the fees. Food and gas would be at our own expense. (we live in St. Louis, and we're driving to South Carolina) So I figured for the whole week, it would cost us about $400-$500 a piece, considering extra stuff, like water sports, bike rentals, a restaurant or two and shopping. Well we found out today that his friend might not be able to get off of work, which means we won't be going. My boyfriend suggested that we go somewhere else in case this falls through. I don't want to spend anymore than I had originally planned because two weeks after I get back, I'm leaving again on my family's vacation. (to the same destination, ironically.) Is there anywhere that we could go that is in a tropical climate for that price? He wants to go out of the country, like the Bahamas. But I told him unless we find a crazy, incredibly cheap package or website, that won't be happening. I've looked on all of the travel sites and have found really affordable trips that include all-inclusive hotel + round trip flight. But none that I can save up for by June. The cheapest place I've found is Cancun. Even if we went for 3-4 nights, that would be cool. Any other suggestions though??
