Officially, the next thing I have booked is Rio de Janeiro for Christmas & New Year's on Copacabana Beach.
However, it's looking pretty certain that in a few weeks I'll join our office's annual four-day mountain trek in Jotunheim National Park. I need to pick up some new gear first, though.
I have Charleston, San Francisco and Nashville in September, then the mountains in October. We are planning DC sometime this Fall, and either New Orleans, Austin or Miami in January, then Spain and England in March.

If you are planning to go to New Orleans in January, please note the beginning of the month is very busy, and then it will be busy again for the first week of Mardi Gras, followed by the SuperBowl and the second week of Mardi Gras in February. I'm not talking you out of it, just making sure you know when it will be busy and crowded.
We are going to a wedding in upstate NY the second weekend of September.
Next big trip is in mid-November when we go to Iceland for a week. I know it will be cold, and we will only have about 8 hours of daylight per day, but the deal was too good to pass up. Plus we are going with a group of about 10 so that will make it fun as well.

Just found out today that we have the weekend off so I am trying to coordinate a trip to either Goa or Kerala for the weekend. If that doesnt pan out I will be headed to Jaipur and Agra at the end of September.

CUBA CUBA CUBA CUBA. Not that I'm excited or anything We're going for 8 days in mid-Sept and will spend time in Havana and either Trinidad or Viñales. We're just going to decide once we get there.
Work might send me to Bogotá (haven't been) or Buenos Aires for a couple days right before that, but that's not set yet and wouldn't be a pleasure trip anyway.

We're doing a local (5hr drive) 53 mile backpacking trip in October. In January we're returning to Puerto Rico for a beach vacation along with some scuba diving (our first time doing scuba in the ocean!).

Which part of Kerala? I was underwhelmed with Cochin, but I thought the cruise on the backwaters lived up to its reputation, and I was surprised by Munnar. It's gorgeous, and I liked it a lot more than I was expecting. Or were you thinking Kovalam for a beach weekend if Goa didn't work out?
We're going to Maui and Oahu in three weeks. I'm really stoked about Oahu because I didn't get to see my island bff the last time we were there but she's free this time!
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. Mark Twain

Not counting trips to visit family for the holidays, since I don't consider those "vacations" so much as "necessary evils"...our next trip is the cruise I have booked for Christmas 2013. If we don't cancel it between now and then for some reason.
I'd love to make it to Corsica in the next month or so, but DH hasn't been able to secure the time off from work. I need to see if the weather is still good there in October...
