What's your travel itinerary this summer?
My wife and I are both teachers, so we have summers off. Her family is in (former east) Germany, and mine is in Oregon and Croatia. So every summer we're off visiting our parents/siblings spread out all over the place. Disposable cash? That's for plane tickets :)
Month of June: Rockaway Beach Oregon, July: Ruegen, Germany and Amsterdam, Holland August: Zadar, Croatia Can't wait, it's going to be a great summer ! |
Could you imagine, if one person was a teacher and the only person wasnt. If my wife had the whole summer off, i would be jealous as hell. Good thing both of you are teachers. As for me, well its going to be pretty boring. I'm thinking about going to Orlando in couple of weeks. My best friends g/f brother lives there. Chilln on the beach sounds good. Then maybe in Aug right before the start of the new semester, visit my sister and her husband in Wilmington, NC. Other than that, stuck working my summer jizzzob. Sounds like fun Raveneye; enjoy.

My wife just became a teacher and will have the summers off as soon as she gets a job from which she can have the summer off...
I look at it this way... she will likely go to the cottage for several weeks and take the kids with her. This means I get to stay home by myself. On one hand... jealousy on the other... I do what I want. |
Summer vacations... I remember those... the good ole days...
Summer I'll be going anywhere - though come early fall, when the Jersey Shore empties itself of the tourists, and it's quiet, I will be heading down there for a week or so and listen to the ocean talk to me. The ocean seems toget so angry in the fall and winter but it's also so incredibly peaceful being the only one on the beach. A real vacation is desperately needed... |
I haven't had a real vacation in years. Every vacation we ever have ends up being spent with family.
This summer will be travel-heavy for work. I leave tomorrow for Chicago for 3 days; then 3 weeks home, during which time we will move to our new house, then Santa Barbara at the end of June, then possibly Bucharest for the first week in July, then Minnesota in the middle of July, then maybe Idaho for family stuff, then Minnesota again for my mom's wedding. Oy! It amounts to a trip every 2-3 weeks or so for the entire summer. |
We're off to Hawaii on our honeymoon starting next Saturday - that's for two weeks. We'll spend a few three-day weekends in July in upstate NY, taking advantage of the Adirondacks and all that comes with...and then we're going to Glacier Nat'l Park in August for a brief camping trip. It's going to be a busy summer, definitely, but with all good things.
|
Usually I go down to North Carolina to see my parents and my sister. This year I chose not to. We wanted a real family vacation, just us and the kids. We are going to Pennsylvania for a week in July. Going to go to Crayola Factory, Sesame Place and then to Philadelphia. I am planning on going to Indianan in August to meet up with some friends of mine, with the kids but not with my husband. I am still undecided about that trip.
|
I am going to Greece and Turkey for a month.
|
I'll probably go to the beach for a long weekend or two, probably Vancouver for a long weekend, my parents' house for some long weekends, and then I'm going to Vegas in September. This is the first summer I haven't had off--I'll be going to school all summer and working too. It's going to be a major drag...I won't be going far.
My dad's a principal and gets most of the summer off--he and my mom will be having more fun than I will this summer with trips for conferences and a visit to Lake Tahoe. |
A day trip to Sedona, a couple much awaited days in New York in July, definitely a much slower summer for me compared to those I had 2-3 + years ago.
|
I'm staying in Austin all summer, although the weekends downtown are like mini-vacations themselves! Gotta love the live music!
|
Hawaii!!!
Aside from that. Wherever my truck, my bike and my hiking boots take me. |
June - Washington DC
July - Los Angeles, California August - Edinburgh (Fringe Festival!!) The latter I am very much looking forward to. |
I'll be camping sometime in July, and going to Simon's family's cottage in August.
|
camping up in courtenay starting june 29th for 3 days thats all for me
|
Since my house is on the beach, its not much of a vacation for me, I tend to get my extra rooms booked up pretty quickly though. I put my foot down this year, only 2 weekends each month. I am going to Tahiti for 2 weeks, in 2 weeks.
|
This summer vacation is going to be the most well deserved since starting school, and although it's only 3 weeks off, I'm going to enjoy it to the maximum. This school quarter has been an absolute bitch, easily the toughest since my two and a half years attending. The first week off I've booked tickets to Tampa, Florida, and I would spend a good 5 days there. I've planned, parasailing, scuba diving, jet skiing, universal and several other things that I haven't done before. After Florida, I'm going to go to Houston, Texas for a couple days. I really don't care for the people in Texas or Florida for that matter, but I have family there so it makes the trips more easy and convenient. While in Texas, I hope to go skydiving if possible as well.
|
We really haven't decided yet. Last summer we went to Sacramento and saw the train museum there and also went to Monterey to the aquarium. A few summers ago we went to San Diego to the SD Zoo and Sea World. We're thinking maybe Crater Lake and the Columbia River Gorge.
|
San Diego, Catalina, Tijuana, maybe we'll go down into Baja. The rest of the summer will be all over southern Utah rock climbing.
|
Vancouver was last summer, this year it's going to be Prince Edward Island. That's the east coast & west coast, so next year will have to be the North coast. mmm Tuktoyaktuk in July anyone?
|
My wife goes off maternity leave in September and my work contract ends in July, so we're taking an ambitious road trip though August. Our baby will be 8 months old so he's portable.
We're driving from Toronto to Calgary where my wife is going to a conference for a few days, then to Edmonton where her family is. After that it's on to BC to catch the Alaskan Ferry up to Anchorage, Alaska. From there it's on to Whitehorse to visit with some good friends. On the way back to Toronto, we'll stop in Alberta to stay with the in-laws and then finally work our way along the US route home. We hope to take our time and see all points in between. Also, we'll be camping as much as possible weather permitting. Woo Hoo! |
I'm off to Amsterdam for a few days at the end of this month, a small reunion with some high school friends I haven't seen in seven or eight years! I'm excited as hell :)
|
I really cannot say where or what because it is supposed to be a secret but... it'll definately be awesome. Other than that, I think I might take a road trip down to Pincher Creek (Alberta).
|
Raveneye, that's the ideal situation!! I'm basically slotted into an educator's schedule (whether I am in grad school or teaching high school) for as long as I want, so I love my breaks. Unfortunately ktspktsp is in the nasty and brutish real world, so he only gets 10 days a year :( ... but maybe someday we will be on similar schedules.
This summer: Just spent two weeks in Seattle... then: June 12th-July 31st: South Africa and Zambia (camping/fieldwork) August 1st-September 2nd: Iceland (fieldwork/visiting family) |
I'm off to Egypt (The red sea) at the beginning of august for two weeks.
|
Right after graduation I'm moving up to SF for my new job. so much to explore! i cant wait :)
|
If there's a week or two between the end of ground school and sim training, then I have no idea. Maybe California to visit some family, back home to go climbing, of course up to Chicago to visit friends, and maybe Florida to visit some people I haven't seen in a while. If there is no week off, I'll most likely spend the weekends visiting the gf.
|
My plans for my summer vaction this summer are a modification of what I did last year. I want to go caving, camping, and enjoy some hot springs. I also want to hike a 12 mile each way backpacking trip to a specific hot spring and back, and I want to hike at least one 14er, but don't know if any of these things will happen if I can't find someone else that really wants to go with me and help me plan it. There's also the money issue of me being broke...
|
Unfortunately, my travel itinerary this Summer will likely be Home-Work-Home-Work-Home-Work-Home...
We don't really have any travel plans. We might drive to a nearby city to take our daughter to the zoo. |
I pretty much blew the annual vacation budget on a 3 week trip to New Zealand this spring to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Living in Colorado, we'll spend some long weekends exploring the mountains. Since I get a lot more vacation than my wife, I've been toying with the idea of taking a trip on my motorcycle. I've never had it more than 200 miles from home.
|
Leaving for Chicago tomorrow for work, flying to Montreal on the 21st or 22nd, then Vancouver in August or September, also for work. Good times, I cannot wait for Montreal, where I get to see my girlfriend. *sigh*
|
Nowhere. Working and saving up money because I'm going to Germany for a year on August 31st :)
|
26 Days in September in Thailand :-D
I'll help their local economies in Pucket where tourism is down 70% since the Tsunmai. |
All times are GMT -8. The time now is 07:43 AM. |
