Would You Rather Wednesdays!

Would you rather spend your time sipping cocktails and relaxing by a pool or at the beach?

The beach is a beautiful place. White sand, turquoise water, and the sound of the waves makes it a unique experience. If you are like us and live in the city, you often don’t get the chance to spend your days at the beach. Or if you live somewhere with four distinct seasons, you may not have more than a month or two to enjoy any local beach. The downfall here is:

•          You are often far from the bathrooms
•          There is no music pumping (a pro for some and a con for others)
•          You can’t just jump into the water to cool off
•          You get sand everywhere
•          Local entrepreneurs will ask you to buy just about anything

The pool on the other hand is less picturesque, but it has its benefits as well:

•                     Close to restaurants, hotel room, and bathrooms
•                     Swim up bar…need I say more?
•                   Music and activities (again, a pro for some and a con for others)
•                    When you are roasting hot, you can just jump in for a cool down.
•        No hot sand tip toeing slow beach entry 

Our choice: Richard and I are pool lovers. Maybe it’s because we have great memories of travelling with our friends in University: dancing poolside to music, participating in the silly games at resorts, and loitering at the swim up bar. Also, if you can find a resort with loungers built into the pool….you are set!
