Poll: Where are you headed in 2017?

[aimeedyan]

Where are you planning to vacation next year?

We are still brainstorming (so I hope to be inspired by some of your plans!). This year, we didn't travel internationally at all so I'm sorta itching to get out of the country.

[moorea]

We're going to Mauritius in April and we're going to try to do China for our fall trip. We may try and do a couple of long weekends domestically too - we're trying to see more of the US....something we've been neglecting!

[dellabear]

I am really hoping to work some magic and convince my mother to stay with the kids for a week in October so we can go away for our anniversary. If I can, we will go to Europe, probably split our time between Paris and somewhere else.

We are also planning a summer holiday/road trip to British Columbia, possibly Tofino or Kelowna area.

[buckeyegirl]

Mid January - Disney World
End March - Eastern Carribean Cruise out of Miami
June - no kids trip for 10 days to Lisbon and Madrid
July - Sorrento and Positano Italy each for 4 nights

nothing else planned right now

[kicks]

Only thing booked right now is Lisbon, Portugal and Malaga, Spain because i usually only book 2-3 months before..

I'll have at least 3 other weeks of vacation that I'll take separately and will definitely travel internationally for those, but not sure where. But I do think Guadeloupe and Cuba are at the top of the list.

[erbear]

The fam is going to the Bahamas out islands in March. We're talking about Jackson Hole in the summer.

[erbear]

Love the Lisbon trips. My absolute favorite!

We are up in the air. If we can finagle the southwest companion pass next month or in February (likely) then we will be sticking to Southwest destinations. Most likely northern Costa Rica, but I'd also love to go to Cuba. DH might be restricted from going to Cuba though, we haven't clarified yet.

Probably a long weekend to Phoenix, few long ski weekends in the Rockies (local to us), and probably a long weekend to somewhere on the west coast.

With only 2 weeks of vacation for me it's tough to fit it all in.

If we don't get the companion pass then I'll be looking at Peru and Ecuador closely, but it doesn't seem easy to get miles flights on united there when I would need them.

[gigem]

We already have Namibia booked for April with my in-laws. August will likely be a short Mozambique trip. October will hopefully be Garden Route in South Africa with my parents.

Feb is Park CityUtah to see my family so I consider that partly going "home".

I am already trying to figure out 2018 trips since we might be leaving Africa that summer, unfortunately.

[tres3]

We have nothing booked . We just bought a new house and are renovating it so probably not much travel beyond our annual trip to England.

[meowmaps]

It's funny, I just sent my passport in for renewal but I don't know when I'll be getting any new stamps. International travel (outside of Canada) really isn't on the radar at the moment.

In March we're going to Austin for four days.
In April my mom and I are going up to NYC for a weekend to see my brother and three Broadway shows.
In May/June we're scheduled to spend some time in Moab, Durango, and then Denver to visit my BIL.

Beyond that, we have tentative plans to go to New England in July/August and then Banff/Jasper/Glacier in October for our 10th. We're going to resume TTC soon so if things work out that could throw a wrench into one of those trips. We'll see, I guess.

[larzhope]

we are heading to PHX for MLK weekend, and maybe SF another weekend in January. doing a hong kong to Singapore cruise w/ both our parents in February.

No other plans right now, except lots of PHX weekends.

[Cicero]

The only thing confirmed is a trip to the US in June and July.

We have three R&R trips we have to take or lose and for those we are thinking Mauritius, Morrocco, and either Kenya or Cape Town.

Without the kids we are spending a weekend up in the mountains and we are also planning on going to see the gorillas in Rwanda but I don't know if timing wise it will work out this year. If not it'll be next.

[mdgirl]

We did a big trip last summer when we were between jobs (Portugal, Morocco, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, and France) so we're not really raring to go on big trips. Plus we just moved to LA so there's lots to explore locally. We're doing Santa Ynez in January for h's birthday, he has a business trip to China in March I might tag along on, and one to Spain in April he wants me to go on.

This might be a good place to ask about Bilbao. Any experiences or thoughts about Basque Country in Spain?

[iammalcolmx]

California coast. Rio because my sister is getting married. Working on a long weekend in Frankfurt because I want to see summer

[Vespasia]

We're doing another week in Guadeloupe in February. Should be fun but we have 2 other couples joining us this time so it might be kinda crazy.

Other than that not much, it's hard with work and school. A week at our family cottage in August to relax between semesters. Hopefully going to my college town for a long weekend in May. Possibly Cleveland for a baseball game and Cedar Point in September.

I also have work trips to Nashville and Orlando this spring that I might extend.

[marytini]

So far undecided. We are taking nephew #2 on his graduation trip this summer, but he doesn't really care where we go, though he prefers Europe. I'm leaning toward southern Germany or Scotland.
Also my sister and I have this idea to spend Christmas next year in Italy, in place of exchanging gifts. We do go with our parents and families. No one else knows of this grand idea yet.

[gigem]

Cicero, Mauritius has become popular lately with the expat community here, for you maybe it isn't too hard to get there? For us it means a night stay in Joburg which means losing a day of vacation, so I will skip that for now.

Get to Cape Town asap if you want to be pampered and maybe stock up on supplies (we get tons of groceries, clothes, etc when we make trips down there).

[Dusky]

Florida in January and a road trip around Ireland in March.

[keweenawlove]

Big one is Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand in April. I'm so excited!

Other than than, work trips to San Diego, San Fransisco, and Salt Lake City so hopefully so sight seeing in there

We might try to get out to Montana for a mountains trip and to visit SIL in the fall.

[RoxMonster]

Long weekend in Chicago in a few weeks to see Hamilton

A few days at a cabin in Shawnee National Forest over my Spring Break to do lots of hiking

Not booked yet but hoping for a couple nights in Denver and then 4 nights in Estes Park/RMNP in July

[flatlan]

I go to South Africa in February. I will be there almost a month staying with several different sets of friends. I'm pretty excited. That is the only thing on the books so far for 2017.

We have a direct flight to l'île Maurice and with all the resorts with kids clubs it makes it kind of a no brainer in my current simplifying trips with the kids so as to not lose it and detest traveling all together mantra. If it wasn't direct I doubt it'd be so high in the list.

[nursewife]

So far just Mexico. I'd love to visit another island or Disney with the kids in the fall.

[mrsukyankee]

Definitely India in April with a side trip - trying to decide if we want to stay in India or go to Hong Kong and other parts of China, or do an island. We'll figure it out in January. We're definitely heading back to my hometown around Christmas, 2017. Other than that, don't know. With finishing a major, whole house renovation, and with a lot of unknowns around Brexit & my H's job, we may not do too much travelling (saving money to build back our savings).

[wise_rita]

Really not much for 2017! Or, I should say, it's all concentrated in 2017 and not spread out over several trips.

New Caledonia for 5 days in April. I've only heard of this place in the past few years. It's half way between Australia and Fiji. It's a French territory and it's pretty much a slice of France in the South Pacific. French wine and cheese here I come!

I'm getting married in the Florida Keys in November, so will spend a few days in Key West. Would also like to go to Cuba before spending lots of time hanging with family nowhere interesting.  Will take at least a month off work, though.  Woot!

And that's it!

[rupertpenny]

We have nothing booked for 2017. We have talked about Australia for Christmas '17 and Penang, Laos, and Chaing Mai are high on our wishlist. We also are invited to two different weddings in New England on May 13, and my good friend wants to have a birthday gathering in NYC in September. I could also go to a conference in Portland, OR or Mexico City.

So, basically, everything is up in the air.

[osumelissa]

February - Amsterdam/Paris/London
March - Vegas
April - Charlottesville, VA (weekend trip for a wedding)
June - Ireland

I may go to Vegas in January for MLK weekend. I haven't decided yet.

[seabitch]

January - Fort Myers Beach
February - Snowmobiling in Old Forge, NY
March - trip to Denver for my mom's 80th
April - Jost Van Dyke, BVI
May - no travel, going to be a first time grandma!
June/July/August - Boating in the 1000 Islands
July - quick trip to Jost Van Dyke

We want to come travel to the West Coast of the USA and Canada, hopefully, 2017 is the year we do it!

[Champagne Supernova]

Nothing set in stone yet but we got Vegas for the Rugby Sevens weekend in March, Australia and New Zealand around the end of May and Antarctica in December.
