Vacation Destination---opinion needed

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

yea that lodge in branson is awesome, i love table rock and the other lake up there.

Jordan yall should go to the keys

My wife and I rented a 42 ft. houseboat in Ft. Myers Fla. for a week.
It had 3 double beds on it and a real nice galley.

[Jordan]

my dad and I love to fish, but my brother dont..... he'd rather stay home and watch TV... destin is great, my brother can swim and i can fish from the same beach...

Think im leading to destin... again..... gonna hit that parasailing up AGAIN !!!!!! 1100 feet with a piece of rope to get you back down....... FREAKING AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!

[Ray]

Go to Perdido Key. Lot cheaper than Destin and better fishing on the inside and the beach. Lot less people too.

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.

That is pretty boring once you've been skydiving!

ray, were looking into this... thanks man !!!

Perdido Key or Orange Beach. THey are across the bridge from each other.

[Ray]

We stayed at the Mariner Condo's on Perdido Key. They have a lauch and dock on the other side of the road on the bay side. We launched the boat and left her in the water all week. You can go to eat and drink from the water and never drive the truck.

[Jordan]

where did you stay ??? this place looks better than destin... i wanna bring my STIX and catch some reds or trout !!

[Ray]

Mariner Condo's. The bottom 2 floors were wiped out by Ivan, but they rebuilt.
You can get a beach house too.
The island is right on the Ala./Fla. line.

In April, you can catch Ling in the surf.

I have always wanted to do that

[Ray]

It cost around $2000 plus some diesel and food.
We stayed on the anchor a couple nights and the rest was at marina's and one night
at Cabbage Key in the bay.

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.

[Ray]

Didn't Carnival just have a cruise ship that had over 300 people get sick?

My wife and I like more quiet, smaller laid back vacations. Not crowded ones.
