I had a hard time picking this vacation. This was my annual trip with my son (he's 29 - gawd I'm getting old - 54) which we've done together since he was 6. We deliberated over Disney World, Maui, Jamaica and Barbados. We had pretty much decided on Maui because it was a direct flight for us, but when I went to book, I hesitated and wasn't sure I wanted to do it (We've been to Oahu a few times before and while we adore Hawaii, I just wasn't sure...). My friend told me to look at Barbados. It felt right to me immediately once I started exploring but when it finally came down to booking, I struggled between All-Inclusive (AI) or Self-Catering (SC) option.
