Vacations!

[The DARK]

Who's getting outta Dodge this summer? Or anytime soon?

[colleen]

I am trying to get to Lollapalooza which might be all the vacation I can afford. But I also have to get to the ocean even for a day so I don't shrivel up and die.

Sweet! That's a haul from Japan though.

Off to Orlando in 2 weeks for 10 days of kid free Disney goodness.

Yeah & it's not helped by a 6 hour stop over in Paris (you can't fly direct to Spain from anywhere in Japan, not even Tokyo)
It's all good once I'm there though  :)

Aren't you supposed to go to Disneyland with the kids?  ;)

I know what you mean. I need to get my fix of the sea every now and then. I was brought up by the sea and I miss it.
In August I'm going to France to see my sister and her family  :D

HA! We've taken them 2 out of the last 3 years. We've yet to really enjoy ourselves there because we are so occupied with making sure kids are having fun and are ok.

I wanted to go to San Fransisco and Napa if that's any consolation...

going to a bachlor/bachlorette party at topsail island, north carolina in july.  we are renting a beach house for a long weekend.  looks like we are going to leave a week early and do some camping in KY and TN.  probably hit up charlotte, NC to visit a friend.   chapel hill for a day. Oh, and of course try to catch a show or two along the way in either Louisville, Nashville,  Chapel Hill, Asheville or something like that.  My husband and I like to travel without a definite plan.  It works really well as long as you plan ahead for the weekends.  last summer we went to bonnaroo and the day it was over we woke up and picked a direction.  we ended up going to Athens for a few days, then Savannah for a few days, then hilton head, then Asheville, then back to WI.  That's pretty much how all of our trips go.  we pick a show and go then veer off course to wherever.  i am so glad he likes to travel like that too.  [smiley=beer.gif]

meh.

i want to go on vacation, but i don't know where to go.

i would like to go on a two week road trip and see all the weird fuck-off tourist traps--like the world's largest plaster or paris crab--but gas is sooo expensive.

any ideas?

Meg, you should "vacation" in Kentucky!  Every weekend there's something going on.  No beach here, but you get the picture.   With gas costing an arm and a leg, you can stay close and still see something new.

booooooom chicka!

i don't have a big holiday planned this year.  i'm hoping to get up to my uncle's cottage (read: mansion, it's ridiculous) for father's day like every year because it's one place that i can ride in a boat.  (and to see my family)  there are a few one or two day out of town dealies, and those are always fun.  i also have very special guestscoming from a foreign country.  i would like to get up to my dad's farm for a bit and hang out with the cows and take the dogs to the pond to watch the dragonflies.  all of my best friends are going to be in the city for at least 5 days all together, so that's RAD!  that's better than any holiday, truly.

this is true. good idea, jc. i have been arranging a lot of ky vacation giveaways for my station these past few weeks. i guess great minds think alike.  :)

i had entertained the thought of going to paducah and touring the dippin dots factory. man, i loves me some dippin dotz! or i could finally see cumberland falls. or i could just sit around my hose all week in my underwear and drink a lot and watch the price is right reruns... whatev.

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

awesome!  there's a whole lotta stuff on that site to do.  amelia loved the irvington train festival last weekend, even if it was a really small one.  hell, any excuse to drive for an hour and eat cotton candy and hot dogs becomes a "festival" in my mind!
