A few years ago my boyfriend and I went on a self-drive vacation to Costa Rica. We really liked being somewhat independent, yet having hotels and different tours booked for us. We want to do something similar in November, and preferably have whitewater rafting included. Where should we go?
You can go to the Midwest where they have a lot of rivers. You could also go to Mexico or South America. Try the Amazon, but only if you are brave enough. They have animals that could eat a human and live in the water, so only go if you are sure you will be safe. Good luck!

You can try eco-trekking in Tak province in Thailand. Jungle trek, hilltribe visit, waterfalls, should be a good back to nature vacation.

In this video Jim visits Blue Nile Falls in Ethiopia.
The Blue Nile Falls are a waterfall on the Blue Nile river in Ethiopia. They are known as Tis Issat in Amharic, when translated, means “smoking water” They are situated on the upper course of the river, about 30 kilometers downstream from the town of Bahir Dar and Lake Tana.
The falls are estimated to be between 37 and 45 meters high, consisting of four streams that originally varied from a trickle in the dry season to over 400 meters wide in the rainy season. Regulation of Lake Tana now reduces the variation somewhat, and since 2003 a hydro-electric station has taken much of the flow out of the falls except during the rainy season. It is considered one of Ethiopia’s best known tourist attractions. The millions of gallons of water that cascade over the cliffs create some of the most stunning rainbows.
A short distance further downstream sits the first stone bridge constructed in Ethiopia, built at the command of Emperor Susenyos in 1626. According to Manoel de Almeida, stone for making lime had been found nearby along the tributary Alata, and a craftsman who had come from India with Alfonso Mendez, the Catholic Patriarch of Ethiopia supervised the construction.

Dakhla (Dajla), or ad-Dakhla (formerly Villa Cisneros), is a city in the Morocco-administered Western Sahara with about 67,468 inhabitants. It is about 550 km south of El Aaiún on a narrow peninsula of the Atlantic Coast. It is the capital of the Oued Ed-Dahab-Lagouira region.
Dakhla was founded as Villa Cisneros in 1502 by Spanish settlers during the expansion of their Empire.
During the colonial period, the Spanish authorities made Dakhla the capital of the province of Río de Oro, one of the two regions of the Spanish Sahara. They built a military fortress and a modern Catholic church, both of which remain points of interest for visitors to the city. A prison camp also existed here during the Spanish Civil War, at which writers such as Pedro García Cabrera were imprisoned.
During the 1960s, the Francoist dictatorship also built here one of the three paved airports in Western Sahara (IATA Code: VIL). Between 1975 and 1979, Dakhla was the province capital of the Mauritanian province of Tiris al-Gharbiyya, consisting of its annexed portion of Western Sahara.
The main economic activity of the city is fishing.
In the area south of Tindouf, Algeria, there is a Sahrawi refugee camp named after Dakhla.

we have traveled a lot but most of our vacations are spent laying on the beach. i am bored with that. we love the caribbean and the beaches but we are open to go any where.
you could go to Belize. It is Central america. Cost is very cheap. You could tour the rain forest and the country side in a jeep – go to the mayan ruins and then spend the rest of the vacation on a 4 mile island called Caye Caulker where you wlak around barfoot for days (no Cars) . the cost of a hotel there is $40.00 a night, the food is delicious fresh and cheap. They speak English and use American money. Doesn’t get much better than that!
