Where would you rather be this Holiday Season?

If you were to choose where to spend your holidays this year, and money and free time is not going to be a problem, where would you rather be? In an authentic Swiss chalet where you can experience the Alps and have yourself a winter wonderland holiday vacation and cozy up in your relaxing bedroom with your loved one and have a sumptuous holiday dinner with friends and loved ones in a lovely restaurant and enjoy some Swiss specialties such as cheese and meat fondues. It is situated in the city but also a stone’s throw away from a lovely lake. Or would you rather be in a tropical private island in the Bahamas staying in a Cuban style house where you can have a very restful and idyllic stay with the sandy beach available to you and your family and friends anytime. You can enjoy a BBQ and even have an al fresco holiday dining experience in its beautiful courtyard garden. Two different locations in two different types of weather and atmosphere both ideal holiday vacation destinations but again, where would you rather be?
