Sunny places

Gray skies, cold rain. I love Maine and all, but geez...

I've had enough. I need sun and I need it now.

You know that ad on the tube for Southwest Airlines? The "wanna get away?" one?

Well, I wanna get away. To some place sunny, warm and dry.

So, naturally I googled for a place that might fit that description and up popped 6 sunny places: Cook Islands, Honduras, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Tonga and Vanuatu.

Tropical getaways all of them. And right now, any one of them would do.

Palm trees, warm water, sand between the toes. Sunshine!

I need to get on the phone to my favorite travel agent...

Wanna join me?

Honduras sounds nice. I hear it is a beautiful country and reasonably priced too. Only thing you have to avoid the rainy season which is not only very wet but also miserably hot and humid. I think the rainy season goes from May 1 til end of July.

There's a great slogan for the state. Maine: Like Honduras but without the heat
