last week of october is Fantasy fest in key west.
So, planning a trip. No idea where yet and need suggestions. Kind of a romaticy type. Want to go about 7-10 days total. Will have about 175k Hilton points and about 75k Delta Skymiles to utilize if possible. Hawaii? Only been to Oahu but loved it. Maybe do Maui and the Big Island? :dunno: Europe? Never been. Kind of scared of not knowing any other languages :dunno: Australia? Seems cool, what is there to do though other than get stung by jellyfish, eaten by great whites and bitten by snakes :dunno: Mexico/Carribean? Kind of worried about being trapped in one area and getting bored. We kind of get bored easy. :dunno: Key West/Other Keys? Seems pretty cool. Got to go back to the may get bored thing though. :dunno: NYC? Vail/Breck/Jackson Hole? Please post most elite vacation idea in this thread. tia.

Jokes on you because I am planning this thing a full year in advance for next November. So, right back at you on the picture thing. Where are you staying?

Just remembered you asking about this November while I was pak'n w/Levi. KATZ! IUPUI! SPRINT CENTER!
i vote for one of two things.
fly into miami and spend a day or two and then drive down to key west.
---or---
1)fly into montego bay and have this guy pick you up at the airport and drive you to negril.

2)give him twenty dollars and ask him for everything that is inside of his fake can of jock itch spray located in the glove compartment.
3) go negril beach and stay here for three or four days

4)then go to negril cliffs and stay at one of these for remainder of trip

Honestly (and I respect the sh1t out of rick daris travel advice) I have no desire to go to Jamaica. Don't know why. Places you linked look elite (especially the guy's car service/drug business) but I just won't do it yet. May take the plunge at some point. What is awesome about Miami? What does Miami have going on? Never been and am now interested.
if you come to europe, lmkw and we can katpak.
Puerto Vallarta is my fav place in the world probably, been several times. Lots to do, food/activities are elite of elite. Only like a 4/5 hour flight.
Jungle, hiking, horseback riding etc. Whales come through in The winter time.

Sounds like a good situation to do some Friday night pre-game paking and/or Saturday night post-game paking in Wichita with a quick jaunt up/down i-35 for some katz. :dunno:

Schedule's not set yet but I'll keep you posted.
there's a 25% chance i'll be in wichita too at that time.
that's what i thought was cool about it too. + you can drive south a bit and see some really cool stuff (small towns in mexico rule).Jokes on you because I am planning this thing a full year in advance for next November. So, right back at you on the picture thing. Where are you staying?

went to pv this summer. it's pretty cool. pv is fun for a lot of people because it's not just all brand new 20 story wyndhams with no surrounding culture. it was actually a city before it became a tourist attraction so you have a ton of shops, art, small diner/restaurant type places and not just jimmy buffets margaritaville. from what i've heard, it's also quite a bit cheaper then cabo.

I pay $185 a night to stay at the Hampton in Manhattan on gamedays for chirst sake. This is prolly a touristy/convention type place but it looks elite enough and could serve as a base of operations. :dunno:

no
it really depends on what you're after- they're two completely different places. i made the assumption that since you were planning a cabo trip that you were wanting to drink tequila with white people and pretend you're in mexico. if you really want to check out mexico a little and see the people and the non-developed places, along with some nice touristy places as well, then pv is the definite answer.no
That wasn't the answer i expected. I should go to Cabo and not PV?
Puerto Vallarta reminds me of a game show prize from the 80s. So does Barbados.

there's a lot of towns around pv that are sweet for just checking things out. it's a cool place, mexico.
For the real Mexico, it's Puerto Vallarta. Got it. Now, where should I go to experience the real Caribbean: Beaches or Sandals?i think i referenced small towns outside of PV :confused: nothing can be as bad as cabo, imo.
if you come to europe, lmkw and we can katpak.
You going to be there Nov/Dec 2010? Because, I would totally hit you up on that and make you be our tour guide/translator guy. This would solve some of my "scared because I dont' speak the language" problems.

Lighten up, fellas. That sh*t was f*cking funny. I appreciate the tips. The only reason I was looking at Cabo was that it seemed like better scenery with those rock formations or whatever that jut out into the ocean. I kinda got the impression that it sucks, but I don't really trust online reviews too much.
