7-10 days where to go?
I need help! I am dying for a trip before I start school, but it is extremely short notice as school starts November 5.
I really don't care where I go, beaches or more of a cultural experience. I would be backpacking, and only speak English. I just really need some ideas. The trip would be about 7-10 days, money isn't really an issue, cheaper is of course better though! Somewhere with a good public transportation system and I really don't have to book in advance, just show up and get a room in a hostel would be perfect.
Any ideas would be awesome and a huuuuuge help! I would probably be flying out of Edmonton, Alberta.

You can't go wrong with Europe and at this time I bet you have very little problems booking hostels.

This is when I buy a ticket to Costa Rica (where many people speak English) and just sit on a beach and surf for a week.
Or, Hiking in the Maritimes.. NB or NS

Hum, Central America - Belize or CR, and of course Europe, anywhere 
If we could narrow things down, it may help.

Central America! 
If I could get through without speaking a lick of Spanish you probably can too.  With 10 days and cost not being a problem I'd probably hit up Utila in Honduras and go diving, and diving, and diving.
Hmm, maybe Jamaica? Bit more expensive though.

I completely forgot about immunizations. Crap, Hep A needs 2 weeks at the least! If I get it as soon as possible and it is almost two weeks do you guys think that would be close enough. Crap!

Are immunizations required? I tend to not worry much about these things, lol. No harm getting your shots asap anyway. I drank only bottled water in Central America and didn't bother with anti-malarials or anything.

PM'd you back!
Worst thing that happened bug and disease-wiise was that I had sandfly issues on Roatan, but I hear they aren't as bad on Utila.  Pack the bugspray though!! Plus the islands are largely English-speaking so that won't be as much of an issue as other parts of CA.

I drank the water in Costa Rica and had no problems what-so-ever... but I think I had a strong stomach back then
