It's been that way for me for 25 years. All the best vacation weeks are gone after the first two awards. Just do move ups and you should come out ok.

I agree...thank you.

I'm in the same boat, and I think we're going to Palau...I love some carib all inclusives though, they really have the mojito recipes locked down.

Thanks as well, but I think you took offense that was not intended. I'm fairly certain he was referring to the ALPA guys at 1-800-USA-ALPA who work in scheduling. I'm pretty sure they are paid and that it's a full time position.

Check Craigs List for old Catalina 22's. catalina22.org
They can be found for pretty cheap (less than $2,000) and are a good family weekender lake type boat. Most of them have a swing keel so you can retract it, put the boat on a trailer and take it home, vs. spending money for a slip.

Gotta love perx!!!
Wife and I did 9 days down in Costa Rica. Riu palace. Our flights to Liberia Costa Rica usually have seats. $1200 bucks total at the time ...we paid extra for excursions...Safari...monkeys, crocs, man what a blast. The coffee and bananas are to die for....you've never had either till you've been there. We'd wake up some mornings, grab that coffee and help the security staff dig up the turtle eggs on the beach so they could be moved to a safer place. Simply a once in a lifetime experience. I will never forget the snorkeling....20 bucks and 500 ft away.
Can't recommend it enough. Great for couples or families.

BTW, perx is owned by expedia now, its a good place to start, then you call the resort and negotiate down from the perx rate.

The last two years I've been able to slide an early Dec. week over Christmas, and an early Nov. week over Thanksgiving. Both were weeks I couldn't hold in the initial vac. bid run.
June, July and Aug are still going to be all gone after Round 1 though, so it's impossible to get both a Dec. week and a Summer week unless you are very senior in category.
