You guys, I need a vacation.
Yes, I’ve been traveling a fair amount for conferences/blogging/quick weekends, but I mean A Real Vacation. A No-Plans-Whatsoever, Doing-Absolutely-Nothing, Staring-Off-Into-Space Real Vacation on a beach in a remote location. I just want to be in the sun with nothing to do. (Yes, you could say that the 20+ inches of rain in OKC this May has kind of gotten to me.)
The last true family vacation that involved a plane and a faraway destination was Maui in 2012. Three years is not acceptable, people. Especially considering the past few years have been slightly unnerving. We all need some downtime in the Whoorl household, and I need suggestions for the most relaxing and tranquil spot ever.
Where is your favorite sunny spot for complete relaxation?

Tulum beach is wonderful. So many bungalows to choose from – Ana y Jose, Maya Tulum, and more.
Positano, Italy is incredibly special. And the beach clubs are great for families. Here’s a slice of heaven: http://www.elizabethminchilliinrome.com/2012/07/da-ferdinando-positano-beach-food/
Just got back from Turkey, and had a magnificent time on a boat exploring the Turquoise coast. Swam in isolated bays of the bluest sea, next to olive trees and archeological ruins. http://beforelunch.com/index.html
Enjoy the vacation planning!

Check out Casa de Mita on TripAdvisor…it’s pretty much a private villa with a full staff. 8 rooms total (adults only…) and everything is included. Meals cooked to order from an incredible chef and utter relaxation. Private beach, swim-up bar, beach “beds”, I could go on and on…they even include private airport transfers. It was the most relaxed I’ve EVER been in my life. I wanna go baaaaack!!!
