I need to live vicariously through people. I just had my 2014 trip which was 5 weeks in Europe. I'm broke as hell now so I'm gonna just be going...nowhere while I deal with other adult things in life.
June- Valencia with kooshball! July- Bucharest (just booked today! Yay!) August- Copenhagen September- Bergen and Helsinki Oct- most likely Paris and Disneyland Paris Nov- Jamaica Dec- maybe home to Seattle for Christmas, but I'm still undecided
I'm also starting my 2015 planning which will probably be Havana and an African safari.

No plans yet for the rest of the year. I spent about 2 weeks in Europe in April so I'm low on PTO and money.
I'm hoping to take an international trip with my boyfriend later this year. He loves Cambodia so I'd love to plan to go there. It would likely be in October or November if we planned that trip.
Next weekend we go home to visit my mom for her birthday. In August we're going back East to visit my in-laws, and we're taking a guided kayaking trip in the San Juans where they cook us three gourmet meals a day (woo hoo!). Kona/Oahu at the end of September. Dubai/Chennai over Thanksgiving for a wedding.
I wish I had more vacation days -- my husband is going to Barcelona and Taiwan for work but I don't have enough days to join him. :-(

We have a two week dive trip in Nov- I think that's it for big stuff for the rest of 2014 aside from some weekend trips. DH will get stuck at home fever and book something short. 2015 - we have Feb in Australia I think Sept is the Panama Canal cruise.
July - long weekend camping in Shenandoah National Park October - 1 week in New Mexico with family December - 3 weeks in Thailand for our 5th anniversary (with a 1-day stop in Moscow on the way home) March - 1 month in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid with husband and Camino de Santiago with a friend) April - 1 week along California central coast (and hopefully Big Sur Marathon for my 30th)
- 3 weeks in Scotland and England starting on June 9...cannot wait!! It's a solo trip and I'll be celebrating my 32nd birthday in Edinburgh.
- Weekend trip to New Orleans in August for a friend's bachelor party (yep, that's right...I am one of two close girl friends invited to my guy friend's bachelor party)
- Long Labor Day weekend trip to Virginia Beach for my friend's wedding
I'm hoping to do another 7-10 day trip in the fall, but not sure where to.

Holy cow, I can only dream of the travel schedules you folks have. I've already done the big trip this spring which was 10 days in Busan and Tokyo. In July we will be spending a week in Toronto and August will be 5 days visiting my folks in New Brunswick and 3 days in Old Quebec City on the way home.
Next up is: London in July (to visit my best friend) Montreal in September Miami in December (for a wedding) And hopefully Galapagos in February or March, though that may get pushed back because we haven't started planning yet and boats book up quickly
Not much traveling anymore for me these days. The only "vacation" I have planned is to visit my boyfriend in Cape Town in December for 2 weeks. I guess if I have to suffer through a long distance relationship, I guess being forced to go to Cape Town to visit isn't so bad. Silver lining.
@uwhuskygirl where in Jamaica are you coming to? Let me know if you have any questions! And Havana is amazing, I loved it and want to head back to cuba soon.
We're going to a wedding in negril beach, but we're tagging on some time to relax and get some sun.
I will definitely take you up on your offer when we get closer! Thank you!

End of July - Thinking about a quick trip to either Turkey or Oman, still deciding! August - Edinburgh, Scotland (going for fun, but we realized it's coincides with the Fringe festival, so we'll check that out!) October - Possibly a small trip somewhere, we'll have to see December - Germany - to attend a friend's civil ceremony, and then hopefully stay for a week or so to check out the Xmas markets I may also do a quick Sri Lanka trip after Christmas....still need to see if that's going to work out!
So far, that's all I've got :-P No plans for 2015 just yet!
Actually planned for 2014, we have: Visiting family in Charlotte for a weekend in July 2 weeks in Italy in September Weekend in Savannah in November Weekend (& a Health & Fitness board GTG) in Kiawah in December DH wants to take a weekend & go to Denver, and I'm pushing for a quick, islandy, beach trip somewhere
2015: I have the Boston marathon in April May or June....maybe Portugal (Lisbon & Porto?) or, we have a friend who is from the Czech Republic, so maybe Prague & another city, with her & her husband.
hopefully Galapagos in February or March, though that may get pushed back because we haven't started planning yet and boats book up quickly
The Galapagos isn't Antarctica - you can book that 2 months out and be fine. We booked ours after Thanksgiving for the first weekend in February and had no issue getting the cabin type we wanted on the boat we wanted.
Oh good!!! I contacted your company and they made it sound like there may be some pressure to book soon, but I'd definitely prefer to hold off for a bit!
July - Long weekend in Chicago. Not really a vacation per se as we go there yearly and I've already been there once this year, but still nice to get away.
We are doing a few south FL cities starting later this week. We are thisclose to booking Iceland for next spring! I'm overly excited! Haha. Iceland is one of my dream vacations.

I don't want to play it up too much, but Iceland is one of my all time favorite places.

Upcoming "big" trips are Rwanda/Tanzania in July and Italy in December.
Long weekends over the next few months include Princeton, New Hampshire, Vermont, Minneapolis, Orange County CA, and Washington DC/Inn at Little Washington.
I just got back from St. Martin. Our next trip isn't even thought of at the moment. We may fly our plane down to New Orleans or the beach sometime this summer we are still new so the South East is where we feel comfortable distance wise. We are also plotting going to see the F1 race in Austin, Texas around my birthday. It would be awesome.
