I would go with the Turtle bay option - its new and the experiences sound amazing. also, from experience snorkling and swimming with sea turtles is a magical experience.
You've been to HKG before and it seems an awful lot of money to pay for just a few days.
BUT - that's just me! :)

Hmph. Must add both yours and Juggler(?)'s cancelled tickets cost to HK trip also then. It's 34000, HA!

I have also come to the conclusion that I am too poor to travel in India - except for backpacking that is. There's no way in HELL I would be able to afford spending what basically amounts to approx 500 CND on a weekend trip!
Man you guys are sure livin it up!

Now, looking forward to hearing all about the trip.

One can travel cheap in India but that becomes uncomfortable which when u're working seems silly. Also flight tickets are the main expense!
and, there are no turtles this time of year, only for one week in december!
