Warm vacation ideas


Bryce

Recommended Posts

Don't worry, I still have the fever. Just looking ahead to later on this winter when the wife is tired of me being gone fishing.( 40-50 overnights on the ice plus I made the mistake of ordering a new shack without first selling the old) Seemed like the best forum to post this on. Looking for Caribbean or Central America (not Mexico) or northern South America. Must have beach and snorkeling. Like to keep the flight under 6 hours. Been to Jamaica, St. Thomas, and Curacao. Will give more info on these if anyone requests. Looking to keep it in the range of $2500-3000 for airfare and room for 7 day/nights. Go ahead and fire away with good and bad trips. Don't think we'll be steeping on the toes of any of Rick's customers.

I know a few people who go to the Dominican Republic all the time and love it. Great food, drink, sun, fun, and a decent price. Something a little different so I thought I'd share. I've been to Hawaii and that's awesome. I usually blow my vacation time up north fishing so this about all I can say! Try talking the wife into a week-long ice-fishing trip at LOTW!! wink.gif

Is this going to take place while there is still ice? Make deal with her, you can fish until ice out, and then go to the overly warm spot so she can work on her tan just before summer here.

Dominican is out. All the resorts there are all inclusive. We've done the numbers at other resorts and we can't possibly eat and drink that much. Would like to hear more about Costa Rica. It is on our list along with Belize for future trips. No go on putting off the trip. I fished URL last year until a Tues. and was called back to work the next Mon.

Cozumel is definitely my favorite. Sure it's Mexico, but it has a different feel and better people than the mainland. After that, I'd vote for Grand Cayman or St. Thomas. Cayman is more expensive, but the snorkling makes it worth it.

Can I go too?

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
