    Okay guys, I'm starting to think where to go for my late summer/early fall vacation (due to hurricanes).

    I would prefer beaches.

    I've been to Miami and Puerto Rico.

    Any suggestions?

    Brazil!
    But I do go to a little town in Mexico (Pacific Coast) every year to surf. The little town is small and just an amazing place.

    I forgot I've been to Oaui, Hawaii. I wouldn't mind going back there.

    Alaska is great in the summer.

    (Yes, I purposely ignored the beach part of the request.)

    Cartagena, Colombia

    One of the most beautifull citites in the Americas. Used to be a major port during colonial times and it's stayed the same since. Lots of colonia edifices, cobble streets, beaches and hot colombian girls. ;)

    It's very safe. Probably the safest city in Colombia.

    A Jewel of Latin America.

    PS. I would say ViƱa del Mar, Chile or Punta Del Este, Uruguay but the seasons are switched. So it'll be winter when you want to go.

    Aruba's beaches are amazing, but it's pretty damn crowded with tourists there. Even when I went ('99), it was already like that...and I think more and more people are going.

    But hey, it's probably still a lot less than the main spots in Hawaii..


    I also really enjoyed St. Croix because it was the anti-tourist place. The city isn't spectacular, and the locals aren't too well-off...but the beaches are nice and clear (like the entire Caribbean), and they're private and quiet for the most part.
