Our first non all inclusive visit

[gregandkelly63]

I'm sure I recognize your name gregandkelly63 from the Couples message board....we were die hard AI people, until we realized (like you)that there was so much more to see on a trip, and there's the "If we leave the resort, we are paying for meals/drinks twice" theory...really, the deciding factor mainly was price.....A valid argument can be made no matter the side you pick on whether a Couples vacation is "worth it". We have been enjoying ourselves since. Of course, you will feel quite at home at Idle Awhile, since the furnishings, chair floaties, (even use of the CSA sports complex) is the same comfortable charm. After 6 Couples trips (4 at CN) we may still go back, cause it IS great, but we don't have to feel like we are missing out if we don't.

A quick calculation shows that we would save $200/day over an AI. We drink and eat a lot, but not that much!

Exactly. And you'll have a much more authentic experience. We used to do AI's, but since we switched I really disdain them now. Just couldn't even imagine going back.
