Try Puerto Vallarta or Cabo San Lucas. Alaska Airlines has wonderful service and they offer some tour packages down there.
Also, you might want to give Aloha Airlines a call. They recently inaugurated flights between OAK and HNL and last I've heard they were selling seats for about $399.00 round trip. That is a good fare for Hawaii.

Alaska Airlines generally has some fantastic webspecials. They fly to three destinations in Mexico that might appeal to you. Check http://www.alaskaair.com on a daily basis (they update the specials several times a week at seemingly random times.) I am sure that something good will pop up for you if you are a bit patient.
The specials to Mexico are generally out of LAX (although you may find some from the Bay Area.) Don't forget that you can always get a cheap flight on Southwest from Northern Cal to LAX and then connect!
Good luck and keep us posted.

For some very good rates on packages to Mexico, call Suntrips at 1-800-suntrip. They have charter flights out of SFO. Their rates are usually lower than Alaska Vacations or other tour packages from the scheduled carriers.
