I've inquired about beautiful beaches and beautiful water so @CP203 suggested the Cayman Islands. So next weekend we will see. I will post pics so if anyone else is interested in going you can have an idea before you get there.
I'm staying at the Grand Cayman Marriott....I will give my review of the property upon my return. So far on my research I've found there are a lot of restaurants, no casino (? ) and excellent reefs for snorkeling.
We will see....more updates next weekend

I'll post pics from Cayman in a lil bit

Dope thread.
Spent a couple weeks in China in 2011. Really fun. Lots of people there had never seen black people, especially black people that look like me, my sister and my homie. We got lots of stares and ? . People kept wanting to take pictures with us. This lady kept rubbing my sister's skin, thinking it was paint that was gonna rub off.
Flying out to Thailand and South Korea for 2 and a half weeks next Monday. Ready to get ? up, take some tours through the jingle, eat some crazy foods, go snorkeling and sure diving and relax on a ? beach. -

I dunno, man. My homie told me that Krabi is very similar to Krabi but way less crowded. I'll prolly hit both though. It's like $100 to fly from Phuket to Krabi, so I'll prolly hit both. -
Anyone here ever been to Tokyo?

I've been to Hawaii a couple of times
My bestie lives there. Having a local when you travel is the best
Been thinking of Turks and Caicos for my next trip or the DR

I was in Trinidad and Tobago last month. Here's my assessment. Trinidad is the city and Tobago is the beach life. Unfortunately I didn't know this prior to going so we only spent one day in Tobago and the rest of the time in Trinidad. Never again. I love the beach so I would definitely go back to Tobago. The water is absolutely beautiful!!!!! There are also casinos in both Trinidad and Tobago. I'm a huge poker player so I try to find a casino whereever I go. Anyway here are a few pics in case anyone is interested in Trini.
Pier on the beach
Ocean pic off the boat...I believe that's the snorkeling guide.
Nylon pool....A shallow sand bar in the middle of the ocean
The Hyatt Regency Trinidad...it was not beachfront but it was on the water. The water is just not what you would expect for a Caribbean island.

That's my next trip, fall of 2016. Gonna visit family in Atl. Fly from Atl to London. Chunnel from London to Paris. They You can get a 3-country Euro rail pass for bout $500. Gonna get that ? for France, Italy and Greece. That Euro rail ? is dope. Unlimited train and ferry access across every country.
Can't ? wait for that ? ! -

dont really have tokyo pics
i was in seoul/korea for a few weeks, and then went to tokyo for 3 days with a girl that i met in seoul
if you are into anime/games/etc.. (which i guess you are not) you need to go to akihabara, they call it electric city.
alot of crazy stuff over there ya know comics, toys, games etc..
sushi and other great japanese food is everywhere of course.
harajuku is a pretty cool district too with fashion etc. shibuya square is famous.
but then i got whiteboywasted in a reaggea/hiphop club and landed at the police department, learned right there and then that i shouldnt get that wasted in other countries.

I would agree on the local thing! I've been to the DR....you would enjoy it. Only thing I'd say is if you've been to Cancun and expect all of the hotels to be lined up like it is on thr Hotel Zone there. It's not. the hotels are far apart so u are kind of stuck staying on the property. I stayed at the Hard Rock there and it was fabulous. It's huge, the food was great and they had a huge casino which is a plus for me. -

? , I'm thinking the opposite. After my trip next year, I'm thinking I'm wanting to travel on my own moving forward. I feel you though. It's hard to get ? who don't just be talking out their neck. Mad ? be like 'Oh you trying to go to such and such? ? , I'm with it! Let me know when you ready to buy the ticket!'.
Yeah right, ? ! -
