It's 3 months before Christmas and if you want to get away from home during this holiday season, it's time to make plans to ensure a stress-free Christmas vacation!
Some people may traditionally prefer to go where the snow is, where it's freezing, and where Santa has no problems wearing ultra-thick clothes.
I recommend going where the sun shines the whole day, where you can frolic on white sand beaches and swim in the warm sea, where you can go shopping in exotic stores wearing only a pair of sandals and Bermuda shorts and a Hawaiian shirt.
Excited already? Well, read on and find out more about these 5 islands that you're bound to want to visit during the Yuletide season.
Exotic Seychelles Seychelles was once referred to by British General Charles Gordon as the site of the Garden Of Eden and it's difficult to disagree with him. Its pristine white sand beaches, turquoise blue water, and exotic blend of flora and fauna can easily make you think that this is the garden the Bible refers to.
