Default Vacation Destination---opinion needed
Ok, I know its early to think about a summer vacation. My dad asked me earlier where I wanted to go for vacation around the August time frame. Reasonable choices of course. I'm thinking FL for some deep sea fishing action. Dad is thinking of Grand Canyon and NM to visit the UFO museum (I know.... How boring)! Where would u go that's reasonably priced. No hawaii or jamaica. Somewhere not too far away from home, but not one state over either! Opinions needed !

When I was in Venice the Carnival would be leaving out of N.O. & would come thru Venice about 10 pm, you could hear everyone hootin & hollerin & partying, 5 days later here it comes back up the river & not a peep! They all must have been wore out.

Plenty of sights to see, and lots of room to walk. Watch out for what is in the last picture.

I was on that boat this past August. Did Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. And Jordan, our deep sea fishing is better here than in Florida. Don't go to Florida to deep sea fish.

Jordan ,
I think you just missed a cruise of a lifetime.
carnival has/had a COUGAR cruise .
The wife and i have been cruising since our hioneymoon 26 yrs ago.
You can only be bored on a cruise if you want to be bored.
there is something to do dang near 24 hrs a day.
our 1st one cost us less than $1000 for seven days.
Our last one in april 09 , Our bar bill was $1200 for 8 days.
From what i remember ,We had a blast.

x2...I finda way to run up a 1k+ beer tab every cruise...even if i sneak on a handle of whisky, wine, and case of beer! But I love them b/c its pure relaxation! I've been on vacations where.. when i return ....I feel like I need a vacation...lol! Not on cruises....no planning and what not....just do at will...it's all there for you..waiting. I'd peep royal carribean...food is better.

Do you fish for Bass? If so, try Bass Pro Shop's Big Cedar Lodge in Branson, MO. They have bass boats for rent to fish Table Rock Lake.
