ahh i'm originating from aus or iah (live in aus, iah is close enough plus a bigger int'l airport).
yes Fiji is far, but if the price isn't going to kill me, we can extend it a few days.
i'm not looking for a 10K trip, but a few thousand is expected, so maybe not Fiji...

was really trying to say any beach vacation, outside of the mainland usa...Caribbean, british or us virgin islands.
