Thread: Vacations, exciting plans anyone?

Just curious what everyone is doing now that it is peak vacation season. I know the posts have slowed quite a bit as people follow their summer pursuits. Recently I have read about fishing trips, a few new marriages, Lynn's great trip to Italy, Bill's new home/shop, etc.....

Myself, I just got back from a week at Ocean City MD, a local beach resort where we rent a condo each summer. First summer my now "mature" 18yo daughter was "too old" to vacation with mom and dad . She spent a week there herself with friends, he first independant trip away from home. In three weeks my wife and I will spend a few days in Rehoboth De. another small costal resort town and hopefully meet up with Rich Z from NY. Mid fall my wife and I will have a long weekend in Lancaster PA, heart of Amish country (very little shaving going on there) and in late fall a weekend in nearby Gettysburg. For us it is quiet, laid back weekends, nice dinners and each others company.

What is on the agenda with everyone else this year?

not much here. just taking a few summer classes, getting geared up for my last year of school. can't wait to get a real job and start eating again...

Ahhh... just returned from a week in Vegas. Hot (but cheap) this time of year! Saw a few shows, played a little poker, and ATE! Best part... we didn't have to hock anything to get home

For the balance of the year, we hope to get in a couple day trips now and then... we take care of an elder family member and it's hard to find someone to fill in when we're gone.

Took ours in April, flew out to El Paso, rented a car, and drove around SE New Mexico, where I grew up, for a week. I had family that hadn't seen my kids since they were tiny. It was nice seeing the home stomping grounds again, visiting family and friends, kids got to see where I grew up, and even took them through Carlsbad Caverns. Probably won't do much more the rest of the year, I hope to get my jeep done so we can do some weekend camping and off roading trips, and take a couple of weekend trips on the bike.

Umm well this isn't a vacation but its exciting plans for me ...... I am going into the Navy. I depart on August 23 and I can't wait. Future Navy Seabee in the waiting

I have already quit work and just try to get things done around the house. I will spend 1 week or so with family in Mobile before I go. I can't wait.

Larry wow Life change. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you for serving, I spent 9 years in the navy myself.

I nearly twisted-off on a guy a few days ago. I do hate it when folks wave with only one figer. Figured I need a vacation, go "chill-ax" as my wife says. I'm thinking about packing the camping gear & heading for Colorado, get some mountains and streams and forget society for about a week. Probably not for another month and a half though

My gal and I are headed to Milwaukee toward the end of the month. She has a niece getting married up that way. I hope they still have a sampling of some good German food in the area, and decent beer (other than the big brother variety). We are going to leave early, take our time, and see what strikes our fancy along the way up, same for the return trip.
