Travel (General) - October 2007

I want to take my mom on a surprise trip early January as her late Christmas gift. I took her to Hawai'i last year and we stayed at the Turtle Bay which was great (http://www.turtlebayresort.com/). I'm looking for a similar peaceful, clean beach resort environment in another country. I want it to be somewhat outside of the city and the beach somewhat secluded, not in the middle of all the tourist business. I just want to have a peace of mind and not stress about unpleasant surprises.

My budget is around $250 a night.

Europe and Middle East are not options.

I'm flying with jet2 and have asked for a 1 x baggage allowance on each leg of the journey... is this "1" the hand luggage or (hopefully) is this the actual checked in baggage and i get hand luggage on top???

i'm soooo confused and their website did nothing but send me plunging deeper into the depth of confusion!

We have looked everywhere. NO passports so abroad out of question. Just 2 adults and one 2 year old. Either hotels don't take under 6's or booked or Butlins is £400 for the week standard room (seems expensive)
Any ideas?

do you plan out every day ahead of time? Do you have reservations for every motel?
Or, do you simply get into your car, and "wing it"?

For years & years, my husband planned out every last detail. How far we would drive each day, have reservations, plan out any museums or tours, etc. And then if the weather was bad, we had to drive X number of miles anyway to reach our destination. Passed places I'd have loved to stop & see as they weren't on our itinerary.

On our last vacation, I insisted there would be NO plans. Just go. Stop when we want. I was happy, he was uncomfortable. He worried every day for fear there might not be a place to stay. ...

One day, it was hard to find a place. He was frantic, telling me "I told you so, I told you! Now what are we supposed to do?" We stopped at a visitor's bureau, and they directed us to the nicest bed & breakfast. It was $100 per night, and I had to pay it as he was so mad at me by then.
It was my favorite vacation, ever.

Im taking the bus to school tommorow and it is my first time using the bus. I wrote the schedule down for departure and arrival and a map just in case. What should I know about the bus schedules because i hear sometimes they arrive late and do you pay when you get on the bus or when you get off, with coins only or cash only or both? Also do you press a button when you want the bus to stop? thanks by the way this in the long beach are and fullerton area.
