My wife Heidi hates Maine winters . . . whereas I love Maine winters. This year I'm making a small concession . . . I'm taking off for a week and going somewhere south with her to a warmer climate.

In any case, right now I'm thinking about San Antonio, TX . . . anyone been down there and have any recommendations of things to do?

Another possibility is to head to some Carribean Island . . . but I have no idea of what are good islands to visit . . . and even more importantly how much we would have to lay out for the airfare, hotel, food, etc. Any suggestions??? Honestly, I kind of expect that the cheaper route would be to do the Texas thing, but I have to admit those beautiful blue waters certainly look appealing.
