Vacation Plans?

AtLast · 04-01-2011, 01:10 PM

Do you have anything planned for a get away trip any time soon? Going to visit family (which includes who we view as family)? Driving?, Flying? How long has it been since you could go on a vacation?

Now that it has warmed up, I hope to do some RV road trips and camping, but these will all be for just a few days at a time here and there. Hopefully, I'll be in Bodega Bay by the end of next week walking the beach and having some of the fish n' chips there I love.

well, I am actually going to go to San Diago with a friend of mine. He is driving out there to see his mom and sister and doesnt want to go alone and I am the only person who doesnt work that he knows so come fall, if I am ok health wise, I get to go to California. MY SSDI will be in and I will have money to travel so it will be fun to go visit. I will get to see the grand canyon which I never got to see before. If I time it right, I can even get dropped off on the way back to the reunion!

WOW!!! Some Planeteers will be in California!!! Shit- da'yam!!!

DapperButch · 04-01-2011, 02:33 PM

I go to the beach every holiday weekend for about 4 days (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day) and the beach other weekends too, throughout the summer. But, I always do this.

THIS year I (we) would really like to do some serious hiking, ziplining, and other more active things on a larger scale than in the past. Combining this with beautiful views including nice, twisty backroads for scenic driving would be perfect! If people have ideas of places to hit on the East coast for any of these activities, I am all ears! Seriously.

I also hope to head to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the WPATH symposium this year in September, but still need to find out about costs.

You're gonna drive right past me without stopping again aren't you? Sheesh... *teehee*

dixie · 04-01-2011, 02:41 PM

Not sure what all vacation plans I have this year.

Atlanta

Daytona

Little Rock

and then a few other small mini-breaks thrown in...

Apocalipstic · 04-01-2011, 03:41 PM

Not sure either, but I need to get to LA to see my sister and want to visit the beach and maybe even Little Rock.

I need the go to the beach baaaaad!

JAGG · 04-03-2011, 06:25 AM

I'm going to Sidney Australia in July. That's the only trip I have tickets for so far this year. But I'm going to Key West in May, and as soon as I finish this last house I'm working on I'm taking a few days off, and going to New Orleans. That's all that's on my radar right now.

Oiler41 · 04-03-2011, 06:35 AM

Known At This time:

St. Louis in May for Memorial Day weekend
Provincetown, in September
Little Rock in October
Perhaps Mississippi Gulf Coast in November
St. Louis in December

I'd like to slip in there somewhere a trip to Gatlinburg, but I'm not sure yet when!

In July I am taking my honey lamb and her parents (they are 90 and 86) on a tour of Detroit, MI and South Bend, IN for 10 days. HL's dad LOVES cars and so we are starting in South Bend (my home town) to visit the Studebaker museum as well as the Avanti museum and probably to meet my mom in the process (eeek!)

Then on to Detroit (where I lived for 20 years) to take a tour of the auto plants, go to the Henry Ford Museum and see the many many car attractions there. I love cars too so I have the great pleasure of hosting the rambling and organizing the festivities. I am very excited about it.

This is the first time I have introduced someone I have dated to my mom and certainly the first time I have introduced her parents. It feels like a big step.
I am really looking forward to showing my HL around my home town to see where I grew up. Also while we are there I am going to be overseeing the replacement of my grandma's headstone (she raised me ) and that will be a wonderful thing as currently there is a tiny marker and after the visit there will be a proper headstone.

We are driving from Houston, TX up to the north-lands, it should be an adventure.

OMG!!! I have some memories of Mauds!!! Talk about "Back in the Day!"

Vacation? What's a vacation? "All work and no play makes for a very dull boy." (My grandmother always said that to me. I am sure it is a quote but I don't know from where.)

Any time off for the girl has been deemed to parental visits. Hopefully, one day ( before I am too crotchety to enjoy it..LOL ) we will be able to take a real vacation just for ourselves. I am always so grateful for any time we get to just "get away", even if it is only for a night. It helps us re-connect in a world that often robs us of our "quality time".

The one restaurant I visited in San Francisco that was particularly good was Absinthe. On my next visit to the Bay Area in June, we are going to Chez Panisse which, I'm told, is also very good.

You'll love Chez Panisse. I think I still have a couple of menus from when I was able to visit. I've been a fan of Alice Waters for about 20 years. It's amazing to be able to dine on the food created by legends.

If we ever get to NOLA, Cafe Bayonne is on my list. Love Susan Spicer too!

SmoothButch · 04-12-2011, 01:14 PM

We just got back from Europe yesterday evening. We vacationed in Prague. Everyone said it was a beautiful place and they were right. We rented a car and also explored some of the surrounding areas of the Czech Republic.

We ventured out and took a road trip over to Poland and toured Auschwitz - Birkenau.

On our second to last day we drove to Austria and spent the day sightseeing in Vienna.

Now we need a vacation to recover from vacation. lol
