OK, my wife just got two weeks off between jobs and we want to dive somewhere exotic (not Carribean, we are American). But, we will need to book a trip last minute and don't want to get ripped off. We'll be leaving second or third week of July. Here are the requirements:
Money isn't a big concern, but I don't want to get ripped off on airfare (I just checked Continental's site, and for 2 RT 'economy' tickets they want 7500... not going to happen). Anyone know a good place for last minute deals?
A liveaboard would be great but I don't know how last minute bookings do in those cases.
Can't be forever in getting to (we only have two weeks) so Wakatobi/Palua etc. is out, but Fiji isn't (I don't think so)
Can't get totally screwed on airfare/hotel because it is last minute.
Can't be a maleria zone as we are trying to get pregnant (her last trip before getting pregnant, hopefully).
The Maldives sounded so tempting, but have heard there is very extensive coral bleaching problems (but I haven't been able to confirm this. I heard this from a travel agent and read it on one website).
We don't want to go somewhere where it is monsoon season and going to rain everyday. Warhammer's Hawaii trip sounded interesting.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
