I have all of December off from work, where should I go?

I’ve not yet done any research whatsoever on this, and figured it would be fun to start off by asking you lot.

Is December even a good time to visit this part of the world, weatherwise?

I’ll be traveling alone and I’m not looking for an action packed vacation. Beautiful scenery, tasty drinks and good food will do the trick. Beach vacations aren’t normally my thing, but I think that’s just what I’m in need of now.

Preferably somewhere I’m not in danger of getting robbed and stabbed every waking minute, too. That would be nice.

I’ll be traveling from Norway, btw.

    A quick stop over by Aruba would be pretty. I’ve also heard good things about Martinique. I haven’t been to either myself yet. I heard that Aruba also has a huge Carnival celebration, so that season around February would be super fun.

      looking to slow right the F down? any of the family (meaning not primary islands) islands in the Bahamas, but particularly abaco, eleuthera, long island or andros. 100% totally different way of living than you are likely used to.

      visited many times and wanting to go back before its all gone due to climate change.

        Speaking of andros, the new show on Apple TV Bad Monkey takes place half in Florida and half in Andros, and was a really fun watch.

          I just finished watching that show, and it is in part what made me decide it’s about time I explore the Caribbean.

          I’ve been to southern Florida, and Key West, a couple of times and I suppose I’m looking for more of that feel/vibe.
