Re: POLL: Vacation plans this year?

  • We did our big trip to Italy last summer so this year we're keeping it very low-key.  DH is hoping to teach summer school (so he can earn some money to put toward his new entertainment system he wants).  Then in July he's going on a road trip to Chicago with two of his buddies for a music festival.

    I'll probably travel for work in June and July to NYC.  Would like to take DH with me on one of those trips, but not sure how that'll work out.  

    I think if anything I'll take some time off work in July and we'll come down to Austin to visit with friends and family, wear flip flops, drink beer and margaritas, eat mexican food/BBQ/sno-cones, go float the river and/or to Schlitterbahn... and just chill and pretend we still live in Austin.  Plus this way we can bring the doggies and not have to board them or find someone to take care of them.

  • we just went to the dominican republic so we're not going anywhere anytime soon - don't be jealous, it wasn't all that (for multiple reasons). 

    I have a free flight with southwest, I might go to DC to visit two friends who live there.  and, depending on work, might take a trip back to CA to visit the fam/friends.

  • Going to Colombia for my younger brother's wedding in June.  Not much of vacation, though - we'll only be there a few days since I blew all of my vacation time on that godawful cruise we took earlier this month. 

    Also going to spend a weekend at a B&B in New Braunfels in July.  A short, low key relaxing getaway.

  • In July we are going to California for a week to visit SIL.  We've both never been before so I'm excited.  Anyone have any suggestions on what we should do or see?

  • We'll probably do a weekend in somwehere like Fredricksburg in June for our first anniversary. And then the goal is to save as much as possible to go somewhere awesome in September for my 30th. We're thinking either somewhere in Central or South America, or Italy. It will probably be our last big trip before TTC. Well, that is if I have a job at that point!
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

    I think she lives in Hollywood, so I guess that area, we are flying into LAX.

  • We are going to Playa Del Carmen mid-May. It's our first vacation since our honeymoon two years ago! I am soooo ready to relax!
  • No big vacation plans for this summer. We just were in Vegas last weekend for my brother-in-law's wedding, and we're hoping to go to a wedding in September in New Jersey, maybe spend a day in New York.

    go to santa monica (walk around the pier, grab a drink at the lobster, check out the farmer's market), malibu is awesome, and venice beach is the best place in the world to people-watch. IMHO, of course.

    I'm not too familiar with hollywood, but I'm assuming your sister would have recs for you there.

  • No vicarious living here, unfortunately. We went to Hawaii for a wedding and vacation last fall, and new Orleans for a football game earlier this year, and this summer I have to go to a bachelorette party in new Orleans. Beyond that, our vacation budget will get killed by some projects we want to do around the house before starting a family, like replacing our flooring, electrical work, etc. My only hope for a trip is really if DH gets sent somewhere fun for work, then I'd get to tag along. Maybe next year!
  • We are headed to San Diego on June 25 and spending a week, then driving to Las Vegas on July 2 and staying three nights.  We are going to SD with another couple and staying in SD with another couple.  Should be a good time! I can't wait!  I've been to SD only one other time for our friends wedding but only stayed the weekend and didn't do too much sightseeing.  And I have never been to LV!

  • We spent our travel budget going to Vail and Aspen 3 weeks ago.
  • DH and I are going to Branson, MI with my mom, dad, sister, her BF and grandfather for four days in June.  Not my dream vacation - but it's with family and that will be good.

    DH just got back from Georgia for 3 days seeing his brother graduate. 

    I'm trying to talk DH into doing Fiji in December/January.  We never went on a "big" honeymoon and I'm dyyyyyyying to go.  I honestly think we'll probably not get to go until next summer.  Maybe Flordia in the fall to hold me over??? We'll see.

  • DH has been wanting to road trip for awhile so we finally compromised- In late June I'll fly out to Seattle to see my dad and he'll leave the same time and meet us there.  Probably stay 3-4 nights, including the 4th of July and then drive back down Oregon, California back around to Texas. 

    September is our 5 yr wedding anniversary and I want to renew our vows/ plan another wedding.  I told DH we're going to renew in Vegas, by Elvis.  It is going to be fun.  We had already agreed to renew every 5 yrs.

    He wants to go to Maine in the fall to visit some friends, but we'll see how that pans out.

    Other than that, just some random Corpus Christie, Fredricksburg, etc weekend trips.

  • We're going to Comic Con. (I know you're all jealous.) Other than that, nothing planned. Later in the year, we may try to go to Vegas, but this is not the year of big travels.

    I'm actually kind of jealous.  PLEEASE show off your photos when you get back!  Though I'm guessing there won't be a LOST panel this year Crying which is the main reason I'd been interested in the past.

  • I think we are going to go to Costa Rica and Nicaragua in June.  Then, my dream trip to Australia/New Zealand/Fiji in the Fall.  Other than that, we have a few small driving trips to the Coast and New Orleans this summer.

    Have lots of traveling I want to do before children, so we've got to get busy.  I'm not getting any younger!
