[Paddlewise] 1st Vacation with my boat

Hello fellow paddlers,
                      I need your help.  I have around
1 month of vacation time coming up in October and I
would really love to make it a kayaking vacation, but
I am at a loss for where to go. I am currently living
in Bahrain, which is an island off of Saudi Arabia,
and I paddle just about every day, but now I want
something more.  I would like to take advantage of the
fact that I am in this part of the world, and go
somewhere other than the U.S. or Canada, but I don't
really know where to start looking. I have even
considered taking a NOLS course during that time so
that I could kayak.  Basically, what it comes down to
is that I really enjoy paddling, I want to get better,
and I look at this vacation as a good opportunity for
me to obtain new new experiences while paddling and
obtain new skills.  Can you all help, please?
Thanks in advance,
                 Dave Gutierrez
