     We're a group of 6-8 soon-to-be grads who are planning to do some
heavy relaxing this April. We are contemplating going to a spot with the
following:

	1) Hot Hot Hot
	2) Ocean for General Water Activities
	3) Room to breathe (not very touristy)
	4) Duration: 2 weeks
	5) Cost: $850 (Canadian) roughly / person

Does anyone out there have a favourite location that fits the bill? 

Thanks in advance,

I think that you're going to have a pretty tough time finding any place
that's "hot, hot, hot" in April with the exception of maybe near the
equator.  And you ain't gonna get there for $850...especially Canadian.
I'd suggest Baja, California...near the tip at either Cabo San Lucas
or a little further north, the name of the town eludes me at present.
The average temperature at that time of the year is around 85 (daytime)
and in the low 70's at night.  I've been to Baja many times, although
I admit not that far down, and have yet to have a bad experience.  
And if you want room to breathe and a rustic atmosphere, Baja is the
place for you.  Plenty of water activities (actually, that's about all
there is) and fairly cheap.  If you can get to San Diego from Ontario
as cheaply as possible, you can fly to Cabo San Lucas for under $200
round trip which includes a hotel room for up to sikx nights.  Of
course, that means flying from Tijuana, not San Diego, and on one of
the Mexican airlines (names also elude me at this moment).

Good luck!

You want Hot Hot Hot in April? I know of only one place that really
fits the bill. Come, spend your vacation in lovely HELL. Yes, that's
right, Hell is the place for YOU! Our brimstone springs keep Hell a
lovely warm climate all year long. For water activities, take an
adventurous dive into our molten seas, or just relax on the crimson
shores with fellow souls of like mind. Collect cankerworms as souvenirs 
of your visit. Or mine for sulphur at our famous Brimstone Caverns.

There is lots of room in Hell. Many people think we are crowded, judging
from the number of people who already make their home here, but Hell
has 9 regions to accomodate any taste. Some regions allow you stand-up
coffee breaks in addition to the aerobic handstand activities in our 
well-fertilised garden rooms. Yes, there are many tourists here, but
most who visit will make Hell their home and stay here forever.

Two week vacations are really rather short for stays in Hell. You will
want to make longer arrangements, for once you visit you may never
leave it. You really cannot see all there is to see in Hell in only
two weeks. We have so much to see and experience, and there are lots of
natives you will want to meet.

$850 is no problem at all. In fact, all it requires for a lifetime
condo in Hell is one immortal soul, and you can use our convenient 
lay-away plan if you don't want to pay immediately.

So come home to Hell. It's a great place to spend an eternity.
