Skyline: A monorail is seen travelling across the city.

Plot: Frasier is planning to take Claire to Belize for the weekend but doesn't know whether their relationship is going too fast or not. When Claire hears Daphne talking about how slow her relationship with Niles was and how special it is now, she decides not to go and Frasier gives the tickets to Niles and Daphne who are celebrating their first anniversary together. When Claire then decides to go, Frasier has to get some more tickets. Then he hears that Martin and Duke are going on a fishing trip - to Belize!!!

Frasier asks Lana to drive him to the airport, but she crashes the car and he and Claire miss their flight. When they get to their hotel, their room has been given to someone else. After Frasier finally manages to sort this out, they go to the restaurant where Frasier finds out all the dishes he wants are out of stock. Frasier is beginning to get cross, but later Claire helps him calm down - in bed!!!

But whilst Frasier thinks Claire is wonderful and perfect for him, he's been having dreams about him and Lana!!! Now he doesn't know what to do. Maybe a phone call to Lilith back in Boston can help.....

Meanwhile Niles and Daphne try public nudity but worry when they hear someone may have pictures of them.

Subtitles: Getting There Is Half The Fun.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name: Lilith makes an apperance.

Trivia: This is the last episode to be written by Mark Reisman. Another mention of Lana's son Kirby, whom Frasier tutored - Kirby got a B. Roz's very brief part in this episode sees her and Martin walking their dogs down the park. Ariel (no longer Frankie - see Ep 175 "Motor Skills") makes his second appearance, and has been accepted into the "group" down at the park, and he and Eddie appear to get on well. Duke goes on the holiday too, but we don't see him as he's in his room due to sunburn.
