Anyone needing quick advice on choosing between destinations for a last minute trip can use this thread. This should help keep our City/Country Data sheet threads pure instead of turning each one into some guys personal request for "Should I go to x, y, or z?" and derailing the topic.
Couple Rules - Do your homework first!
1. Do some research. Use the search function above (Search Via Forum) and read at least the major threads on the countries you are considering. It will be very clear to most members if you question Pros in the DR and flakiness in Colombia that you haven't read shit.
2. Narrow it down to three or less countries/cities. We don't have time to discuss all of South America.
3. Know your travel dates (at least the month), budget, and the flight costs for each destination (if you're asking questions about value across different destinations).
4. Tell us about yourself. Without turning it into a race thread, tell us your approximate age, race, game experience, foreign language skill level, etc.
5. Lastly, what is your goal for the trip? Just to relax?, improve approach game?, grab a quick flag/notch?, study a language, find a wife (jk), get drunk as much as possible?
I'll go first, since Spirit has a $9 sale going on and it has to be booked by tonight.

27 year old white male, good looks, brown hair/green eyes.
Solid game (pulled ONS with my first Venzuelan in U.S. last week, 1st date bang Israeli girl two days later, 4 other ONS including first Black chick (Clemson girl after losing to USC), club whore blocked off in parking lot, and 2 strippers (strict no dance policy/no dates, no money involved). All in last 30 days and most ONS less than 2 hours from open to spread open.
Language skills: Currently starting Pimsleur Spanish III. Not the best but getting help from Venezualan girl for make out Pimsleur lessons.
Goals: Get a new flag, eat good food, relax, learn a new hobby/take in culture, work on Spanish, while avoiding gansters and p4p drama.
Budget: $80 a day
Travel Dates: January 17th/18th - January 24th 2012
Option 1:
Santo Domingo/Santiago, DR
Experience: Never been
Flight Cost: $265 RT from ATL
Accommodations: None/ No idea / Advice?
Pros: Check out Dominican woman, grab my DR flag a few times with non-pros, enjoy the beaches, maybe learn to kite surf, work on Spanish
Cons: Possibly boring after a while, stress avoiding P4P, not as rich culturally as other options, possibly disappointing/dull food option??
Option 2:
Toluca/Mexico City/Puebla, Mexico
Experience: Never been
Flight Cost: $199 RT from ATL
Accommodations: None/ No idea / Advice?
Pros: Check out Mexican woman, grab my flag, enjoy the 20 Million+ city, go heavy on CS and infiltrate social circles, work on Spanish, enjoy great cuisine, go out each night, second tier cities close by (Puebla, Toluca).
Cons: Maybe too big and crazy for a first trip to Mexico, Spanish skills maybe not high enough/have to rely on English speakers, no beach, quality of girls been debated (someone that lived there said 1 in 15 maybe bangable).
Option 3:
San Salvador, El Salvador
Experience: Never been
Flight Cost: $195 RT from ATL
Accommodations: None/ No idea / Advice?
Pros: Check out woman, grab my flag, enjoy the food, work on Spanish, do touristy stuff, hit strip clubs
Cons: Possibly dangerous going strong after women/strippers as obvious gringo around local guys, not too exciting, women are questionable quality (thanks Ali-b for putting this spot on my radar)
All things considered, where would you go and why, if you were me?
You can keep it short and simple. Just bust out a reply on your iphone Mixx and all others while you're trying to convince some bar chick to do naked somersaults back at your place.
Anyone wanting to team up or show me the ropes, get your ass on Spirit.com and book a flight.
