s/o Where's your next vacation?
PKW's comment got me thinking. Where is your next vacation and/or your next weekend getaway?
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

Our next big trip is Paris in April! Before that, I have a weekend in NYC for my half , and T and I are heading to Savannah with his mom for a long weekend.
We are going to do a few nights in Napa this summer again (DH works 4 day weeks so we can do this on his days off, no time off required). We are also doing Disneyland + SLO (on the way home) in December for EJ's birthday. We are doing Disneyland every year until EJ is 5 then he gets to decide if he wants a party of Disneyland. I am also taking EJ and going with my mom to San Diego this summer to visit family, DH cannot get the time off of work.
In Oct/Nov DH is taking me to Vegas for my 30th Birthday and out 5th Wedding Anniversary! Wooohooo. It depends on my schedule as to when we will go.
Essentially, I am looking forward to September when DH will be able to start taking time of again because he will be in a unit and not patrol.
Money Matters The other half's blog.
EJ is growing up too fast!
We're headed to Death Valley again in a few weeks. We scored tickets to a tour of an off-limit mining ghost town (so excited). My parents are going to fly out and meet us for a few days. We'll probably take a different way home and check out some new stuff.
Not sure after that. Dh's schedule is so crazy and his employee is so flaky that weekend getaways are really difficult. I miss those. At some point, we'll take a trip to Portland. Was supposed to spend Christmas in Indiana this year, but my vacation request was denied.
We will probably have a forced vacation around here in July and December since DS's daycare is closed. I would love to go down to south for some snow play in July and up to the Bay of Islands in December for some sunshine.
I am dreaming of a gigantic holiday next year, around DS's 2nd birthday in March. Ideally, I want to go to Europe (Spain, England, and Germany--have friends in all those places) and also back to the USA to visit family. The USA leg would include: so Cal, the bay, Whidbey Island, and NOLA. Seems massive, so not sure if we will really be able to do all of this in one go. Fingers crossed though!
Tea Time for Lulu
We don't have anything set in stone yet because I just started a new job, don't have any vacation saved up yet and we're still trying to get back on our feet financially.
But... the in-laws want to do a family trip to Lake McClure in June, so we'll probably do a long weekend there with them. I'm hoping to make it out to Seattle at some point in the summer to visit my parents. And we're starting to talk about potential anniversary trips in November (DH is pushing for Ireland; I want to explore our options more because he's already been there, and while I want to visit Ireland it's not at the top of my list.) I'm sure we'll also go camping once or twice this spring/summer/fall.
We don't have anything planned and probably won't for a while due to our LO arriving in July. If anything, we could have a getaway weekend to the Sierra's after she's born.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
The biggest thing I'm looking forward to right now is a week long cycling trip across Hokkaido in July. I've never done anything like that before, but we have some friends who asked us to go and I'm getting SO EXCITED by the idea. I think it's going to be amazing (if I can get myself in shape enough by then!).
I'll probably go down to Okinawa (the Hawaii of Japan) to visit C while he's there for a month or two this spring for work. That should be beautiful and hopefully we'll have some fun.
I'll be back in CA in June for my sisters wedding. Yay! Well probably do a Napa Valley weekend for a bachelorette thing. We might also take a little roadtrip through Oregon when we're back... we shall see.
Our "big" trip this year was supposed to be Thailand and Cambodia, but thanks to C's work schedule, that's not happening. We'll probably go down to Kyoto and Hiroshima in the fall, and maybe a couple of small weekend trips around Japan, but nothing else major.
We're going to Seaside, OR in August with my sister and her kids, who are flying out from NJ. I'm very excited.
I am dreaming of the day my husband and I get to do a real vacation. The furthest we have ever been together is Disneyland, and that was with friends. I wish we could afford plane tickets to Hawaii or something.

We are going to Vegas at the end of next month...yippee!! I have not been in over 5 yrs.
We will be doing our annual gold prospecting trip in July.
Other than that, nothing else planned. Maybe some weekend trips here and there.
going to tahoe in a couple of weeks to celebrate my parents 45th wedding anniversary.
i'm also trying to plan a trip to disneyland when the kid is on spring break in april.
and..i'm not sure when but i'm pretty sure vegas will be happening sometime too
We're trying to go to Portland for our 5-year anniversary. Not sure if it'll happen ($$ and time) but we're trying.
We will be going to SLC and Vegas this summer/fall for my races. I think those are the only two that will require an overnight, but I'm not sure. We may overnight in SF too, because making that 2.5hour drive prior to an early morning start time would suck. All my other races are within an hour or so.
Say what now?! Baby?! Congratulations! How did I miss this?
Hahaha. I haven't really been good at telling people.
