Travelocity's fraud detection department canceled our flights (while we were mid-air Denver-San Francisco). We were informed of this while trying to check in for international flight to Hong Kong in the San Fran airport. Travelocity stranded us in San Fran for the night, had no recollection of our trip ID until we returned to the states. Then, they said the trip was confirmed and since we had used the flights, no refund was necessary...This was after rebooking every flight to Singapore and each connecting flight on the way back. The lady working for American Airlines in Chicago trying to get us home verified that Travelocity "dropped the ball really bad on us". Luckily, the airlines pulled through and booked us, but only after 15+ hours of layovers. What a nightmare, we'll NEVER use Travelocity again.

Hello Mark
Here in Alberta and the Canadian Rockies, we are a popular vacation and relocation area for U.S. citizens for over 100 years. Alberta's health care system is still by far the best in Canada and it is free to all residence of the Province. We do have people complaining about longer waiting times for certain treatments but certainly anyone with an emergency is dealt with immediately. There is an optional upgraded health care called Blue Cross which would include things such as prescriptions. I have provided the link below for Alberta Health as well as a link to my website which has a short video that will provide an overview of where I live. As a matter of interest, I bumped into three separate couples from Texas just this past two weeks. They escape the heat of your summer by spending it here.

I look forward to visiting Alaska for
sports fishing on one
our companies Dream Trips in the future. I have been looking into going
to
Canada Fly-In Only Fishing trips, with 5 day and 4 nights at the <a<br> href="http://chillntrips.roviadreams...">Guardian
Eagle Resort, in Ontario.</a<br>

<o:p> </o:p>

This is an incredible adventure that
will be one of the
trips that will be on the top of my bucket list. This trip includes
round trip
air from Anoka Airport-Blaine, MN; premier fly-in fishing lodge,
fishing tackle
if you don't have everything required, which I won’t, mid-day meal
cooked over
a bonfire while I relax.

<o:p> </o:p>

I think for even a once a decade
recreational fisherman, I
can have a blast – Would love to hear stories and see pictures of your
trip.

With summer vacation almost here, I decided to start looking for a unique place to travel. Tired of the usual beach vacations, my husband and I decided that we would like to go somewhere new this year.

Not wanting to get our passports renewed, we wanted to stay in the US. And so our search began. Limiting our search to something we have never done before, we decided that we wanted to go make the outdoors a focus on this trip. Not the usual outdoors buffs, with any hiking experience or anything under our belt, we decided that a nature cruise type vacation was just what we needed.

We decided to go for an Alaska cruise. I researched a ton of boat companies in Alaska and we were set.

The company we chose is known for its alaska fishing tours, and after visiting, we know why. The scenery is stunning, and you will see a variety of wildlife, glaciers, and other things not found elsewhere in the US.

For anyone wanting to vacation somewhere unique this year, I highly recommend an Alaskan cruise. You truly won't regret it.
