We have a LOT on the books - we are currently on vacation visiting family/friends on the East Coast (attending a wedding tomorrow)... but we have the following:
-Seattle at the end of May (visit family/friends)
-Europe for 5 1/2 weeks in June and July - we will be going to Lisbon, Portugal; Lagos, Portugal; Seville, Spain; Cordoba, Spain; Granada, Spain; Barcelona, Spain; Nice, France; Monte-Carlo, Monaco; Venice, Italy; Lake Como, Italy; Cinque Terre, Italy; and Amsterdam, the Netherlands
-Seattle about 2 weeks after we get back from Italy for another wedding
-Vail for our 1 year anniversary in mid-August - wanted to do something, but wanted to keep this one simple since we're pretty busy this year
-Seattle for Labor Day Weekend
-Carmel, CA, for a wedding in September
-Australia/New Zealand - we are gone for 5 1/2 weeks again, over September/October. On the schedule right now is Melbourne, the Whitsunday Islands, Lizard Island, Daintree Rainforest, Uluru, and Sydney; for New Zealand - I need to figure out an itinerary, but we have two weeks so we know we will do Doubtful/Milford Sound, the glow worm caves, and some other stuff
-Maui in early November - going to take DH for his birthday. I have talked a bunch of our friends into coming along as well.
Then we have the holidays... and I may try to sneak a trip to South America (Chile/Antarctica) in early January... if DH will let me. He
What do you and your H do that you have so much time off? I am very envious.
We're going on a family cruise to the Caribbean in June - and when I say "family," I mean there will be 15 of us!
DH, his brother and I are going to Costa Rica in September. I'm really hoping we can find another friend or two to go with us. I like BIL, but it will get old if it is the three of us for an entire week.

We are going to Disneyland for my son's 7th birthday in July. We aren't going to tell him until the day we are leaving. I'm really excited. He's at such a great age for it.
Nothing booked yet, but planning on London, Paris, Amsterdam in September. Hopefully we will book flights next month. I've been watching prices and they don't seem to be changing much, maybe $50 up or down.

This sounds exciting. I think I've seen a commerical where people recorded telling their kids they were going to Disney and their reactions are hysterical.

We just got back from a one month Europe trip where we visited a few central and eastern countries. On the way home we were already discussing our next big trip!
If my H can get 4 weeks off work again next year then we're considering somewhere in Southeast Asia (maybe Thailand and Cambodia, Vietnam, or Laos -- so many options!). Or another possibility is Tanzania.
I'm going on a girls' trip to Gatlinburg, TN with friends over Memorial Day weekend.
I may tag along with my sister's family on their trip to Charleston, SC in July.
My brother is moving to Los Angeles soon and I've never been to the west coast, so a trip to California may be in the near future also.
I'm currently unemployed and searching for a job, but on the bright side these vacation opportunities came at the right time!

Next month we're going to Jamaica for our 2nd anniversary.
We're planning to do a Disney cruise to the Bahamas in September, but haven't booked it yet.
In October, we'll be flying home to CT for SIL's wedding that we're both in. As much as I love living in FL, I'm excited to see the beautiful foliage that time of year.
We have another wedding in CT in November, that we may or may not fly up for since we'd like to fly back for Christmas as well.
If I'm not pregnant next year, we'd like to finally hop the pond and go to Europe in the spring. I'd like to do either London and Paris or a Mediterranean cruise out of Barcelona.

We're going to London for the Olympics the first week of August, and then we're going to squeeze in a beach trip to either Tahiti, Portugal, or Spain before I get too far along (I'm due December 20th).
Not much. We're last minute trip planners. We just got back from a weekish long trip to the race track (car).
July 4th - DC/MD maybe. We'd probably do a day trip to NYC since H has never really walked around Manhattan. Plus we have clients in MD and in NY so we can turn it into a business trip.
Dec - Dubai. We've invited some clients to go with us, so also a business trip.
Nothing else planned other than the frequent trips back to NC to visit our families.

A week in Cape Cod in August, and a week at Disney in January. I basically come to this board to be jealous of all of your fabulous vacations! Once the kids are older, I'm getting back into serious travel mode!

We are going to Kauai in 5 weeks. I've never been to Kauai so I'm very very excited to see what the island has to offer. Although, if my husband has his way, we won't be doing much of anything that doesn't involve sitting on a beach. But I'm okay with that.
That is our only trip on the books so far. I live in NorCal and took a couple of day trips recently. Drove to Half Moon Bay and Pacifica for the first time and loved it there. I also went to Alcatraz for the first time despite living 45 minutes from San Francisco for most of my life!

We are going to the outer banks for a week this summer, spending a long weekend in Burlington, VT and I am doing a wine tour in Charlottesville with girl friends. We are planning a beach trip for January or February. We are thinking Barbados or Cayman.

June - road trip to Gatlinburg over a long weekend. There will be 4 couples sharing a cabin in the mountains. We may stop in Nashville or Memphis for a night on our way up or down.
Sept - 30th BDay celebrations in Cali!!! 2 nights near Napa, 2 nights at Kenwood Inn (SO excited, looks amazing) and then 3 nights in San Fran. It will be my sis and I for the 1st 3 nights to do a lot of the winery tours/tastings and then our H/BF's are meeting us in time for my bday.

H is deploying to Singapore soon. I'm going with him at least for a month which means I'll be filling my days with cheap air asia flights to unknown destinations. Exciting!
We just got back from a whirlwind trip to Italy, France, and Spain, most of it on a cruise. It was our last minute "hey, you're deploying, let's take advantage of these fares" trip.

sfgal, I am jealous. Enjoy!
We are going to Cuba in September for a week.
Somewhere TBD in Nov for a 4-day weekend - possibly Bogotá? I have no idea, but H has granted me that long weekend off his practice schedule (national athlete), and I want to take advantage.
Nothing else planned yet, although probably Buenos Aires for a weekend at the end of July to see friends. I need to renew my passport which is going to take about 6 weeks, so at least until the end of June I won't be leaving Chile.
