Re: Poll: Summer Plans?

  • I'm traveling by myself to SF next month for a conference, plus 2 extra days to myself to do whatever (yay, I love SF!).

    For July, my H and I are going to my high school reunion in Alberta, not super excited, lol, but it could be fun...

    Last but not least - my mom, sis, and I are going to Vegas the first week of August, now that will be FUN!

  • We are renting a cabin in Asheville, NC for a week in July. 
  • see siggy.

    i tend to NOT travel in the summer. too many kids/crowds all over the place b/c of summer break :)

    Friday, December 28 2012. The day I had emergency appendix surgery in Mexico and quit smoking. Proof that everything has a good side!! DH and I are happily child-free!! No due date or toddler tickers here!! my read shelf:
    Alison's book recommendations, favorite quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf) 
  • I'm on the board but we have no plans this summer. Crying
  • I travel back and forth between CO and AZ almost every weekend, but we are taking time out from the regular routine for two trips! We're making our way East from Colorado to visit family prior to getting married (we're sort of eloping - they know about it, but noone is going). That trip includes stops in Nebraska and New Jersey. Not my ideal idea of a vacation, but it's our form of celebrating our big event. We're then getting married in August in Australia! That has obviously been my key focus for the summer and i only have 79 days left!

    Honestly, since we found out that I'm pregnant, no real travel plans (we've got to really watch our budget, since I plan on staying home a bit longer than my maternity leave.) A trip to Lake George (friend has a house there), my grandpa's place on the CT/RI shore, and DH's family place on another upstate NY lake. 

    I'm holding out for a 5 year anniversary trip to our honeymoon spot (Paris), but we'll see what our budget is like then, might be more like a 10 year anniversary trip. 

    I will live vicariously through you ladies, so please plan some awesome trips!

    Fifth Anniversary 500 Comments 100 Love Its Name Dropper

    We're leaving Sunday for Cabo for a week with my family and MIL.  I can't wait to get out of the Midwest for a while!

    I'm visiting a friend in Seattle the last weekend of June.  I'm super excited as I've never been there before.  She just moved there in March, so I'm excited to see what she all has planned to show me!

    In August we are taking a trip to Wisconsin to visit MIL.  DH really wants to make a trip to the Dells, but we'll see if that happens or not.  We are also going to the Lake of the Ozarks for a family weekend on my mom's side.

    Hoping to get away for a weekend in October for our anniversary. We're currently looking at the Boston or San Antonio areas.

  • We have NYC next weekend, and then Orlando/Tampa in early September...

     

    probably going to do camping in the weekends in between, love summer time!

  • Summer plans, some have been checked off.

    Took Dh to Puerto Rico for his 30th Birthday. Went to New York last weekend. 

    Later on this summer I am going to DC to visit my BIL. 

    Hopefully for Christmas we may go to South America. I really hope it works out.

    We leave for Japan next week, and my husband is taking me on a surprise birthday trip somewhere in July. We don't really have time for too much else because we're both really busy with work this summer, so we're trying to plan some fun stuff for the fall and over the holidays.

    Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

  • DH and I are going on an Alaskan cruise this summer.  We are so excited!
  • NJ for a wedding and that's probably it...we had to cancel our babymoon because our house got struck by lightening and a good chunk of the money we had for a babymoon went towards paying the deductible for the home owner's insurance.  I don't think our next real vacation will be until June 2013 to the Outer Banks once LO is bigger!!

  • So glad you're keeping the board alive, EB! 

     As soon as work lets out for the summer, H and I are spending two and a half weeks in Italy, starting in Venice and then to Florence, Montepulciano, Positano, and Rome. 

    There are talks about a girls' trip to Mexico (probably Playa del Carmen) in late July, but we can't seem to settle on 4 nights that work with everyone's schedules.  Hoping we can do that - I'd love to spend a few days sipping mojitos and gossiping with the girls!

     

  • DH and I are going to do a weekend trip to Solvang, CA/the Santa Ynez valley in August for our anniversary.

    We aren't really traveling much this summer because we are saving up for a trip to France in November! =)

  • We are headed to Walla Walla, WA this weekend for five days.

    The first weekend of July I will be going to Los Angeles for three days with my mom and sister.

    The last weekend of July we are headed to Pacific Beach, WA (near Ocean Shore/Olympic Peninsula) where we have a cute little cottage rented with friends.

    The first week of September we are going to Washington DC for seven days.

    And then in November we head to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for our destination wedding!

  • We leave tomorrow morning for the Riveria Maya!

    Other than that we have two weddings in Cleveland to attend in June, and one wedding in Upstate NY in early September.

    I'm hoping to at least get up to NYC once in July to see a few Broadway shows as well.

  • We just got back from surfing in the DR.  And have our annual surf trip to the outer banks planned for September.  Other than that, not much else planned - there's bee talk of a weekend or two away... At the cottage, Cleveland, Chicago, not sure....

    Whoa, what are the chances of that? Dang it!  Hope you can still have a little getaway even for a weekend before LO arrives :)

    I knew you'd still be "faithful" too, lol.  Let's keep it going girl!

    How awesome is your trip to Italy sounding? Gah, lucky lucky lady!  Hope your girls getaway to Playa works out, that would be FUN TIMES!

  • We got NYC in June. Hopefully Vegas in July, if not camping someplace here in AZ. Maybe if we can, Paris in August. That is all so far. I am really excited for NYC since it?s a place I always wanted to go to.
