My husband and I were on our Honeymoon in
the Caribbean when I thought it would be nice to surprise him with a day
of sport fishing, I used the computer in the hotel lobby to look up charter
fishing in the area, it was tough going until I found Destinationwild.com,
you had enough listings that I was able to find a charter captain that would
take us out that day. My husband was thrilled, the fishing was incredible
and now even I'm hooked. Were arranging to head down to Florida next year
and I'm sure well be using your site to line up another great time, Thanks
for making it easy. Ill spread the good word.
