I ve also been to Tarifa and Gibraltar, and I can say that Tarifa was my favourite place in Spain. I

It s a big year coming up and it just got bigger! So much so that we need your help! We ve been scouring the Internet looking payless car rental tampa for our next great adventure and we can t make up our mind. We ve been wrestling between two destinations and we can t decide. payless car rental tampa So, we want you to help break the tie.
As you know, we've been test-driving (and loving!) the American Express Gold Rewards Card, and this season, the good folks at Amex Canada have generously provided payless car rental tampa 300,000 bonus points for us to spend on an epic adventure anywhere in the world.
So how will we use those points? While the destination is up to you, our readers, Amex's Trip Flex option makes redeeming travel payless car rental tampa points easy. Once we have a chosen destination, we'll use our American Express Gold Card to book our flights and vacation package. Once the charges are posted to our account, all we have to do is call up American Express and have them pay off the travel spend with our points.
Trip Flex covers travel expenses like hotels, transportation and vacation packages, including taxes! It doesn't payless car rental tampa matter where we book or if it is a last-minute deal. Virtually any travel spend qualifies. There is no rush either. We may be staying payless car rental tampa in Europe for a few weeks after our trip, but we don't have to hurry to call American Express. And our points never expire. So let's get started payless car rental tampa on our next adventure.
We ve wanted to take Kite Surfing lessons ever since visiting Mui Ne, Vietnam in 2003. Nothing looks cooler than someone hitting payless car rental tampa the waves and flying through the air. We ve never had the time or the money to invest in an entire week of learning this thrilling sport, but now s our chance. Last year after studying Mui Thai in Thailand, we stumbled upon a beach where they taught kite surfing courses. We asked ourselves "Why didn't we do this instead?!"
Debate:  Sure, we may have been to Spain before payless car rental tampa but the course does take place in the far south of Spain in Tarifa at the Strait of Gibraltar, a place that we have never been before. Then again, I m pretty afraid of the thought of kite surfing and being swept out to sea. What if I end up all alone adrift at sea, heading towards Morocco? However, we love trying something new and this is a great way to whip us back into shape. One week trying to conquer the kite board will help us work on our tans and tone our muscles to be ready for our European summer abroad.
Imagine paddling on crystal clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea while witnessing the glorious coastline of Croatia. Croatia is a hot-ticket item right now. It seems to be at the top of everyone's list of countries to visit. We ll be paddling from island to island where we ll be swimming, snorkeling and kayaking for seven days in Paradise.
Pros: We ve never been to Croatia before and we have always wanted to go. We ve heard it can be very expensive and this is our chance to see it on points! We just got back from Kayaking in Antarctica and we loved every minute of it.
Cons: We just got back from paddling in Antarctica and maybe it is too soon to go from one paddling payless car rental tampa trip to another. Not only may we be tired of paddling, but also maybe our readers could be tired of hearing about it. It s not exactly high adventure. We ll be paddling about 20 km a day, but in the islands of the Mediterranean, how rough and tumbling payless car rental tampa can the water be? We –and you – may want something payless car rental tampa more exciting.
Debate:  Croatia is supposed payless car rental tampa to be an outstanding destination and we haven t met anyone who didn t love it, so it would be awesome to use our points and enjoy every minute to the fullest. Sure we just finished paddling in Antarctica, but that would make paddling in Croatia all that more amazing. We d be confident and comfortable and be able to enjoy the moment in the warm sun while pretending we are part of the rich and famous. We'll experience a little decadence with a bunch of adventure. Plus, by kayaking we'll be able to explore several different islands and it's a great workout.
So, you've heard our debate and you can probably understand our dilemma. We need you! What would you like to hear about: Our high-octane experience at Kite School in the South of Spain or our paddles through the stunning payless car rental tampa scenery of Croatia?

That s great to hear Jennifer. I think that there is always a misconception of a place if you haven t been there before. We have heard from so many people back home that Croatia is expensive, but maybe it is just the package tours there that are a lot of money. We had visions of it being out of our price range to travel to. Thanks for setting the record straight.
I took up kitesurfing while traveling in Western Australia last year and I am totally addicted! BUT if you love it as much as I do be warned it will forever change the way you travel. Kite gear is big, bulky, expensive, and costs extra as checked luggage. Now when I choose my travel destinations places that are warm and windy move to the top of my list, and in addition to my backpack I bring along my giant rolling kitebag! The thrill payless car rental tampa is well worth the hassle! One thing to note, while Tarifa is a well known kiter spot, it will be more intimidating to beginners as there is so much kiter traffic on the water. Might be worth picking another destination to learn that is more beginner payless car rental tampa friendly. Good luck whatever you decide!
Thanks Kelly! You ve got me excited. Now I m leaning towards the kite surfing! We had a difficult time choosing destinations because the time of the year is tricky. We ll be in Italy beforehand so we need to fly somewhere within Europe to fly to the Caribbean or elsewhere would be too much money. It seemed that Tarifa was the warmest. We did see kite surfing in the Canary Islands too. It looks like so much fun. We ll definitely have to give it a try soon no matter which way tht poll turns out.
I heard you mention in a post, sometime ago That as Canada s Adventure Couple, you would like to travel and see more of Canada. I remembered this, after reading this post and seeing kayaking as one of your choices. As I live vicariously payless car rental tampa though your adventures, payless car rental tampa and as a Canadian who hasn t seen much of Canada, I would love to see you taking this kayaking adventure in our own backyard!
Great point Jennifer and we do want to see more of Canada. However, the time of the year requires us to go somewhere warmer, I don t know if there is Kayaking in April, (or at least Kayaking that we d be qualified for) in Canada. We have to decide by next week and be on the trip in April. payless car rental tampa We will already be in Europe at that time so we can spend the points on the activity rather payless car rental tampa than on International flights. I d love to do it in Canada, but the timing doesn t work. If it were later in the summer, we d definitely give it a go. However, with the cost of flights in Canada, I think our rewards would be used up just flying from Toronto to Vancouver;)
Where, specifically, in Croatia? The Adriatic coastline there is quite long, and varies wildly, from the Istrian peninsula in the north near the border with Slovenia, to the southern Dalmatian coast. And when? Summers are quite busy and can be crowded, depending payless car rental tampa on where you ll be. And the Dalmatian coast has gotten considerably pricier over the past decade. Lots of locals are beginning to complain quite loudly.
Hi Rob, Great questions. We ve been looking at tours leaving from Zadar. We ll be going in April. It was a tough choice to come up with adventure ideas for April, but we will be on the shoulder season so it won t be too crowded. Most trips are between 600-800 Euro (about $1000 leaving us points to be able to use to fly from Italy as well.
Looks like kayaking payless car rental tampa is winning! payless car rental tampa It is what I would want to read about most. It seems like you could develop many more posts around what you re doing and what you re seeing whereas the kite surfing seems a little more limited. Maybe I m just being a selfish reader though payless car rental tampa .
Croatia payless car rental tampa Croatia Croatia. I can see why it s so difficult though. This is all personal payless car rental tampa in my vote. I loved my time in Croatia, though it was short and would love to go back and have an experience like the one you might chose! Plus I saw a random payless car rental tampa travel show with Bradley Cooper and he was kayaking in Croatia. Not that that is a reason to do it haha, but the places he visited on kayak looked incredible. Happy picking! You could have worse decisions to make in life
But if you re really keen for the kite surfing I saw a great place in Egypt for this sport on the Red Sea in a lovely place called Soma Bay. There was a school and a cool beach bar and perfect conditions just a suggestion.
I ve also been to Tarifa and Gibraltar, and I can say that Tarifa was my favourite place in Spain. It s small, and authentic, and humble, and beautiful. It s not crowded with expats and foreigners like much of southern Spain is. I just loved it there. I didn t go kitesurfing, but I watched people do it while I chilled on the beach, and it looked like SO much fun. It s apparently some of the best kitesurfing payless car rental tampa in Europe.
