Let's get this travel board going

What travel do you have planned? What are you most excited about? Still working on planning, need some ideas?

And go....

We're going to Alaska in September. Flying into Fairbanks, 5 days through Alaska, and then a Princess Cruise down the coast, ending in Vancouver.

I'm mostly looking forward to 2 weeks off of work, and a shameless excuse to eat like a cow. I'm also happy not to worry about a bikini body for this trip.

We got a camper trailer last year and need to do a better job of using it more often. I'm hoping for at least 5 local-ish trips before winter.

[CallingAllAngels]

[spankswife]

I am going to DC in a week, for a week (some work, mostly pleasure). Working on a daily schedule now....

[hamster]

We're doing a road trip in July! We'll be hitting Missoula, Glacier National Park and some yet-to-be-finalized lake in North Idaho. I'm super excited!

I've got it pretty well planned out, but if anybody wants to offer ideas for activities, restaurants, etc. I'm all ears.

[misshouston]

French Polynesia - leaving in 2 days
San Fran/Napa - August
New York - November

[osumelissa]

Leaving for Riveria Maya in two weeks! Our day long excursion is booked, transportation to and from the resort is set...now just need to buy a few new coverups and workout like crazy

Other than that, right now the rest of our travel that is set is for weddings - 2 in Cleveland in June and 1 in upstate NY in September.

[mastistyle]

Girls weekend at Red Mountain resort in Utah. Colombia in July. Sonoma and Pebble Beach in August. Need to figure something out for the 4th quarter!

[ejpint]

Long Chicago weekend in June.
London/Paris/Amsterdam in October. Woo!

[CityLights]

We're moving in August so we had to keep our travel plans low key this summer. We are going to FL (Sarasota area) in July.

We just booked our flights for an LA/San Fran/Napa trip for the end of the year.

Hopefully we'll be able to do a big trip next year. We are thinking about Australia/New Zealand or South Africa.

[SJ]

May- cruise to Bahamas out of Charleston

June- renting cabin for long weekend in Wisconsin with huge group of friends

July- wedding in Kentucky

October- Scottsdale, Arizona

We cut back on international travel a lot this year as we are planning a big Europe trip for next year to visit friends in Switzrland.

[Redpoppy]

We are going to Cape Cod in June for a week. Best kind of trip, quick drive distance and the time share condo is free thanks to FIL.

August is a week out to Disneyland. DS is so incredibly excited. He talks about it every day. I really hope he hits the 40 inch height limit by then to go on the big Cars ride. We have tickets to a Red Sox vs. Angels game and are planning a day trip down to either the Sand Diego Zoo or the San Diego Wildlife Park.

[Ramz-ee]

Holland/Belgium/Germany in late November.

[Dusky]

I've got a D.C. trip coming up soon and a mini-vacation to GA towards the end of the year.

[Deleted]

We're off to the Cook Islands again soon, with a side trip to one of the outer Islands.

In Oct we're off to Hobart, which should be good.

Our next big trip is Africa, and we're having no luck with narrowing where in Africa down (we'll we kinda got a 8 week itinerary but we can only do 4-6 weeks).

If you are going to be out here in August I would recommend doing the San Diego Zoo instead of the Wild Animal Park. I live right by the WAP and it get EFFIN HOT in the summer and there is barely any shade in the main part of the park. 90-100+ heat....does not make for a pleasant day. The zoo is laid out in a canyon and has a ton of shade and its closer to the coast so the temperatures tend to be 10-20 degrees cooler than inland.

Still waiting for the Indian consulate to approve my work visa...once that happens I am off to Mumbai for at least 2 months but maybe as many as 5 months (depends on if I decide I want to keep extending my stay).

Off to the Czech Republic (Prague) and Germany in November. Will spend 3 days in Prague and then 14 days hopping all over Germany (11 cities for 11 concerts) and will round off the stay with 3 days in Nurnberg. Will be gone for 3 weeks. I cant wait!!! So excited for this trip ;D

Will probably go back to Germany after the first of the year; just waiting for the dates for the second leg of the tour to be announced. Could also end up visiting friends in Ukraine and maybe a side trip to Moscow.

I have no serious travel plans until December when I'm headed home for Christmas and a Caribbean cruise for as a belated celebration of my dad's 65th birthday. It's yet to be determined whether it will be an Eastern, Western, or Southern Caribbean cruise, and whether DH will be able to join me. My vote goes for Southern with DH, but since will have been over 2 years since my last cruise, I really don't care.

[mrsukyankee]

Two weeks beach trip with parents, brother, SIL and their kids to Rehoboth. First American beach holiday since I left the States. And my DH's first American beach holiday. He's so used to the whole pebble beach thing here...can't wait!

[Norticprincess]

Late June and August/Sept trips are up in the air until I know when I'm allowed to travel.
December 7 night Southern Caribbean cruise out of San Juan
Feb 2013- 12 night cruise out of Baltimore (not sure if we are keeping this one, will depend on if I get a job before then)
May 2013- Hawaii DH has a conference and we are adding an additional 9 days on to the trip.
Sept/Oct 2013 Australia, have very basic plans for this one.

[peachykate]

As a matter of fact I do need some help-

DH and I are leaving the kiddo
Beginning of November
We want to go somewhere warm
Budget- I want to stay in the neighborhood of 2500

We keep looking at the pamphlets the travel agent gave us but there are so many choices that we don't seem to be getting anywhere.

Thanks!

We're going to SoCal in August.

I'm excited, but the whole planning has been a headache so far, due to numerous scheduling factors. I still don't know the specific dates yet.

[umdsmlee]

I'm going to Asia for 6 weeks in July/August...China, Vietnam, and Japan. And I am feeling horribly unprepared at the moment! Just need grad school to wrap up next week and I'll finally have time to plan...

[mesjms]

Maybe a long weekend this summer (either DC or the beach). Saving for Paris next year.

[GilliC]

Making a quick one-week trip to the Norwegian fjords with my parents in a week.

Maybe a few days in London around August 4.

Planning to spend a week driving/camping around Iceland later in August.

Spending Christmas & New Year's in Brazil. Definitely New Year's in Rio de Janeiro, and we might head somewhere new for a few days before.

I'm also supposed to spend a long weekend in Krakow with my Polish friend, but that will probably be last-minute whenever the flights get really cheap.

I don't know what I'll do with the last week. Maybe a trip to see my best friend this fall or a few random trips to "wherever's cheap" when the airlines have sales.

[katieh]

Napa at the end of this month (7 nights for our 5 year anniversary)
Denver for work in early June, Last Vegas at end of June.
Montreal in July.
Germany (possibly) in September. If so, husband may meet me there, in France or in Iceland.

And then somewhere...not sure where yet but thinking China, around the holidays.

[alithebride]

LOL see siggy.
