Great idea. There are some good salmon/halibut fishing lodges on the Kenai Peninsula. Gorgeous country, too, for sightseeing, wildlife viewing and hiking.

Agreed. That is an attractive vacation.

This is one that is on our short list....(noting that my wife also loves bass fishing):

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Marina Fiesta Resort... all inclusinve with round trip from San Diego to Cabo... 5 nights, Sept 12-17 and it was a shade under $1,300.00 total.

I'm excited. The wife and I have never done anything like this. Our "vacations" usually consist of visiting friends or family. This is just us...

Sounds great. Consider that there are all sorts of warnings including the U.S. State Department regarding alcohol poisoning throughout Cancun. I'm talking about top tier all inclusive resorts. My Wife, and several other couples canceled a Cancun trip last year after I heard about what's going on. There have been sexual assaults and deaths by drowning from people drinking tainted alcohol. Do a Google search on Cancun alcohol warnings. Also the one thing that I have learned from traveling, is always purchase travel insurance and make sure that i covers 100% refundable in case of cancellation as well as medical insurance. You do not want to get ill anywhere in the carribean or Mexico. They will gouge you for 10's of thousands of dollars. Sad but true!

Yeah, thank you, captain buzzkill. Just had my friend go to the exact same resort this month. He highly recommended it, and he and his wife enjoyed it. He's Mexican, but he was born here so he's about as white as me only he speaks fluent spanish.

And Cancun is on the Gulf of Mexico side, whereas Cabo San Lucas is in Baja, CA on the Pacific side and according to my buddy... it was mostly Americans down there. Plus... you know... we're not mid 20's, immature idiots looking to get wasted.

Good pick. Save Cuba for another five years or so. Meet you there.

Wow!!! Is that $1,300 total for 2 people?

Airfare too or a bus from San Diego?

Does the "all inclusive" include food and alcohol?
Can you go fishing?

Man, that sounds like the perfect vacation!
Have fun and report back...
If it is great?
Send all the BOTL the address, phone#, and website address.

Cancun is a trailer park compared to CSL.
Cabo is gorgeous, the water is awesome, run through the land arch when the tide is out if they still allow that.
The sunsets are fantastic.

You will have a blast.

Found a deal for 4 nights in Rome $599 per person. Includes round trip flights from NYC, transportation to and from airport in Rome, and hotel. Add $150 each and you get a day in Pompeii.

Here's an idea...

Kiosks at the airport where you can ship stuff forward or back home so the TSA doesn't steal it.

Or Goodwill donation kiosks.

Beer

Actually had one at IAH. Out of habit, I had my pocket knife when going through security. The guy TSA started to confiscate it when the female agent directed my to a kiosk where I could buy an envelope to mail it. Cost something like 15-20$, but the knife was worth it. Only time I've seen it, but I don't fly that much

That's cool.... Almost had to throw one away in LA years ago... Southwest was nice enough to pull my checked bag so I could put it away.. I had to go baggage claim and then re-check it but I thought it was worth it..

Lost my fave Swiss Army knife, Fishing model, at McCarron. It was in the bottom of a side pocket in my large duffel bag... forgotten for a year or so... Got thru LAX with it on the way to LV, but TSA handler spotted it at LV after pulling out all my dirty laundry...

He said I could mail it home, but I'd have to go to the P.O. and would've missed my flight. He didn't offer to let me check the bag...I woulda paid the fee had I known that was an option...
