Last minute vacation travel

I am wondering about any experiences you may have had waiting until the last moment before booking your vacations. Currently my GF and I are thinking of going somewhere warm for a week when she has her break from med school. Where we go isn’t of importance; Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Carribean, etc.

Since she is a student, and I am a recent grad with lots of debt we want to go all inclusive so we know how much we are spending approx. beforehand. I have been looking at some all-inclusive packages, while the price on some of them are probably acceptable, the better value the better.

So spill the beans please, in regards to your experience with travelling using the last minute vacation plans. Thanks.

We wound up spending about the same amount. The advantage was that there was still some stuff available for us.

From what I hear you’ll get the best value in the Dominican Republic.

What do you mean by ‘still some stuff available to us’?

I’m just curious if Ludy is your girlfriend!

Nope, my GF is not a member of this board. Plus Ludy lives in Calgary, I live near Toronto.
