Vacation Thread

I'm going to Arizona this Friday til Tuesday for friends wedding and I have family out there also. Planning on going up to Sedona/Oak Creek Canyon area Monday for some sight seeing and  wine tasting. Also Prescott where my uncle is building his retirement rancher. I've been to AZ a bunch of times and love it, especially northern AZ.

Have Canada in September, but those are only two trips going on this spring/summer. Next year I'm lookin at Ireland and a cruise on the Caribbean.

Anyone got any other cool trips planned for the future and or want to share old trips, go ahead here.

Planning to go back to Houlton, Maine at my inlaw's cabin on the Lake.  We're also supposed to be getting a week down in the OuterBanks of NC in August.  Usually we rent this place Possible Dream but we were not planning on the NC trip this year until recently.  If you try to book something this late usually you can get a large discount if the renter is just looking to cover mortgage costs

I'm hoping to do a Caribbean vacation in August, but I'm not sure exactly where yet. The wife wants one the all-inclusive places, which is fine with me...but that kind of limits the locations a bit.

I was thinking of doing a 4 or 5 day trip to Iceland in September. The local AAA has a trip offering, and I wanted to get some of my neighbor buddies to go. But it doesn't look like it'll happen. Maybe next year.

Other than that, I'll have to be content with A.C. every couple of months.

So far, the only "vacation" I'm taking this year is to go out to KC in a couple of weeks to meet up with a good friend of mine who will be returning from Iraq at the end of this month.  I'm also going on a couple job interviews while I'm out there.  Yay vacation!

I'm probably going to 'vacation' in Brooklyn a few times this year. Which translates to get drunk, wrestle my friends in the street and excrete in inappropriate places.

Annual trek to Albany, the first week of August, for 10 days at training camp.

Hoping to get back to Jamaica at some point this year.

Re: The all-inclusive packages: You're not as limited in locations as you may think. Pick a spot and some hotel in the area is likely to offer a package deal.

We may hit Maine later this summer.

Other than that, I'm stuck in Hurricane Central.

Thanks! Part of the problem is trying to get everybody (me, the wife, the kids, and my sister) to agree on a location. I'm all for a direct flight, limited transportation, and no hassles...at least for this trip (too many people).

If it was just me, or me and the Mrs...I know exactly where I'd go.

Most of the Carribean resorts have everything onsite, even different types of bars/clubs. Plus, they pick your ass up at the airport (which is a good thing, once you see how they drive). Unless you wanna do the tourist thing you don't have to travel at all. LOL Oh, and unless your wife is a shopper. Then I'd recommend her taking one of the buses for shopping excursions. Much cheaper than the onsite boutiques.

Planning to go back to Houlton, Maine at my inlaw's cabin on the Lake

i have a house on lake george in upstate new york that i also go to a few times a year

There's nothing like the lake life.  Watching the Soprano's last week made me want to go asap then i remembered  the lake is still iced over.

The first advice I would give you is wait until the sun goes down to take in the river walk.  Savannah is seriously ridiculously hot. 

My favorite place was the Moon Tavern (or something similar).  Its a microbrewery with great food.

No kidding.  I'd rather live on a lake than any other "desirable" location, including ocean front.
