Sometimes the fishing ain’t that great, but you still get quite a reward. On a calm evening, with only a few bites, I watched as the sunset turned incredible before my eyes. The smooth lake created a perfect reflection of the sky above.

Strolling down Chicago’s River Walk is a great way to explore the architecture and beauty of the city.
I think North America is ready for the emergence of several new budget carriers, Rob. The drop in fuel prices now makes it all the more opportune.
At least the lower fuel costs will hopefully take off some of the pressure on upward prices.
Domestic flights have been much higher in 2014 in general and the Conde Nast link states
United, Delta, American, and Southwest make up more than 80 percent of domestic airline traffic. which doesn’t bode too well for lower fares or less fees in the US
i think international flights will be much cheaper in 2014 as airlines like Norwegian, and others expand.
I sure hope so !At least driving will be cheaper and I’m look forward to buying the cheap international fares
The bar for new carriers is pretty high, though. They can’t have full route systems, so they are forced to either try to horn in on high-volume routes, where others can easily drop prices low enough and long enough to push them out, or on low-volume connector routes where money can be made only with poverty-wage crew…which is why the majors have left those routes. We’ll see, but I am skeptical.
