You live in AK?

 

Go to Hawaii. :banghead:

 

You're going to have to be more specific. Do you like beaches? Rollercoasters? Mountain climbing?

 

Budget?

 

I've never been married, but I've taken a lot of trips. 48 states and well over 30 countries.

 

Jamaica was my last one. Had a grand old time. One of the cheapest trips I've taken too.

 

Plus, I got to wear a cool hat.

Well, my trip to Jamaica cost me $2800 for me and the g/f, and that was all included for 5 days/4 nights. That was airfare, cabs, food, tips, everything. Even all the Red Stripe I could drink and all the daiquiris she could handle. Might cost a bit extra for your airfare though.

 

Oh, and it was a couples resort, no kiddos. So it was really quiet and relaxing.

 

That was the only time in my life that I've used a travel agent, and it worked out pretty dang well, as far as having zero stress about arranging everything.

Is there a website for the place you stayed at? Our airfare would be free because we have air miles. If we dont go on a cruise I want one of those all inclusive deals.

Sandals resorts.

 

We stayed at one of the ones in Ocho Rios, about a two hour bus/cab ride from the airport.

 

I'll have to tell you though...You DO get what you pay for. It's a smokin' deal (it was to me anyway), but as a beer/wine snob, I was in agony for the selection. And the food, while fairly tasty, was hardly 5 star. But if you've taken cruises, you know how food prepared and served in quantity tastes. The best stuff was the jerk chicken that was served in a couple of the bars on the resort. Kind of a BBQ-esque spicy chicken.

 

But I give the whole experience a 5 out of 5 because of the atmosphere. Quiet, no screaming kids ANYWHERE, enough activities to keep people that aren't prone to laying on a beach for several days at a time (like me) occupied. Girlfriend learned to scuba, I tried my hand at windsurfing, night activities (organized dance stuff), and things of the like.

 

There's packages all over the Caribbean like this though. Like I said...The travel agent would probably be fairly useful for this. I didn't have a choice of location, as I was going there for a wedding.

Sounds great. I would have suggested one of the islands around Hawaii. We went to Acadia National Park at Bar Harbor Maine. It was nice. Found out first hand how cold the Atlantic really is in Aug up there. Burrrrrrr.

When I was planning our honeymoon I was looking in to renting a house in the Bahamas. I found a few that were on deserted beaches, and the reviews said that the guests didn't see anyone else on the beach all week. Which makes clothes optional ;) Anyway, the island I focused on was Eleuthera. I was all set on going there until I realized we'd be there in peak hurricane season (Sep-Dec if i recall correctly) so I chose Kauai instead. Good thing too--there was a hurricane there while we were in Kauai! So that would be my suggestion. And I know you said outside of the US, but I have to put in a plug for Kauai--absolutely fantastic! Outside of that there's always Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and I think there are supposed to be some fantastic beaches in India too.

I'll second Sandals. I went to Antigua (Carribean) and it was great. Almost 12 years ago...

 

Very well organized and arranged for the honeymooners with either lots to do or nothing at all, depending on your mood.

The wife & I went to Moorea in '04 and loved every minute of it. We paid for a beach bungalo and the night we checked in they had a few overwater bungalos open and upgraded us at no charge. We stayed at the Sofitel and could see Tahiti from our room. It was a very relaxing atmosphere, nice restaraunts, snorkeling, 4X4 island tours, shark & ray feeding, and last but not least...topless beaches.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Here is an image of a quick Google search about these tires on my truck and it's exactly same psi recommendation the Toyo tires company gave me!    I'm not looking for anyone else recommended psi or anything, I'm just looking to see if anyone knew a way to get rid of the factory low psi warning light, because I'm not running high psi and ruining my tires when I'm not towing!
