As for which lifestyle to choose, the Caribbean or Brazil, Brazil wins hands down every time.

Yes, I have to agree with you on that one. The Costa Sauipe Resort was extremely lacking in entertainment let alone life! Luckily I went with an all-inclusive package looking at the daily prices of R$950,00/day !!!! although the golf course was very nice with spectacular views. Morro Sao Paulo is beautiful. Also, refreshing to see something of the IBAMA actually working with recyclable trash and preservation ethics. However, since its an island and access is terrible you will probably get bored after 3 days.
I just hope my wishful thinking comes true and the local politicians understand the machinations of the tourist industry and start injecting incentives for the flight and travel companies. The price of tickets are killing the industry even if nicer developments start getting built. A few years back a roundway ticket was 400 euros (comfort class - sightly better than economy) and now its triple the price.
