‘Staycation’ or ‘Tropication’

US publisher Merriam Webster has announced several new words for its Collegiate Dictionary….

‘Staycation’ is a vacation spent at home or nearby. Due to the current economic climate there has been much press about people doing that this summer.

Here at Tropical Sky, we have invented a new word – ‘Tropication’ (not yet in the dictionary) To define, this is a holiday spent in the tropics at short notice, that cannot be turned down because the price is so great!!

Examples of ‘Tropication’ Include:

• 7 Nights at Discovery Bay, Barbados. All Inclusive Board Basis. From £689. September departures. Price includes, Flights, Transfers, Accommodation, Taxes and Surcharges. *Saving £300pp*
• 6 Nights at the 5* Shangri La Oman in August costs only £609 on BB. Flights are with Oman Air, Transfers, All taxes and surcharges included. *Saving £250pp*
• 7 Nights in the 4.5* LaSource, Grenada. Just £1269. Saving *£500*. This holiday includes free daily scuba diving, waterskiing, daily spa treatment. On top of the usual activities if you arrive in September you will recieve a free bottle of wine and couplse massage!

Another new word in the Merriam Webster dictionary is ‘waterboarding’ – they define it as an interrogation technique inducing the sensation of drowning.

Tropical Sky on the other hand, believe it is what you do on a boogie board on the south coast of Barbados!!
