Where are you planning to go on vacation?

I am not taking any vacation this summer, with work and classes it just isn't possible. Hopefully I can do something next year though. I have never been on a cruise and would love to do that. We have just recently gotten a few cruise ships docking here in Jacksonville, so there's something to save for!

I'm going to attend an all-school reunion in the small town near where I grew up in Minnesota. I never did attend any of my class reunions, but will be seeing my best friend from high school whom I haven't seen since we graduated 45 years ago! I'll also see family, none of whom I've seen in at least 11½ years. I may rent a car from there and drive to Illinois to see another brother whom I haven't seen in about 13½ years. It is going to be hard to leave my furbabies that long, though, so I do have mixed feelings.

In mid-June Dan and I are heading noth to Vermont and New Hampshire. We'll be camping out in our tent. He wants to see his home town again. He grew up in Bennington, Vermont. I have a friend from college who lives in New Hampshire, haven't seen her since her wedding a few years ago. On the same trip, we're also visiting friends in upstate New York before coming home.

Later in the summer we're going camping with some friends in one of our State Parks, Ricketts Glen for anyone familiar with PA.

I also hope to get to visit one of my best friends who lives on Long Island, as well as a few days in Washington, D. C. to visit Dan's uncle.

And if things work out, some of my co-workers and I would love to have a girls' weekend in New York City. My friend Krista has never been, if you can imagine living within a few hours drive and never going there.

Luckily, I'm a teacher, so I don't have to juggle a work schedule after June 10. At least this year I don't, I worked a lot last summer, so I'm making up for it this year!

Possibly Hawaii this summer to celebrate getting married with our moms, no date set on that though. And we're still undecided on the fall/holiday trip which will be like our honeymoon - either South Africa or a tour of Scandinavia, both trips we'd like to take at some point, just not sure which will work out for this year.

I love to travel!!

I'm saving every little bit of money I have now to go for a trip in the states to visit a good friend of mine and her hubby... promised to let me sleep in the guest room rather than the bath tub if they have the space..

We are going on a Camping trip for week in July close by where we live . If you can call that a vacation . I will have to go home once a day and feed all my baby's .

Vacation.. well that was in January(sp?), I went camping. My vacation later in the year though is NSW in Australia for a couple of days.

ANNE: You will love the lakes, and Whitby also. Tell me if you climb the steps up to the ruins at the top of the cliff though!

ARGH!!!!! All this talk of European vacations is making me batty!! I'm so jealous of you across the pond, who can hop on a plane or train and in mere hours be three countries away from where you began!! (I'm from Big Sky Montana, where you can drive in some parts for three hours and still be in the same COUNTY)

I am taking a much-postponed, much needed vacation to visit my father in Eastern Maryland. I haven't seen him since he stopped by on his cross-country move five years ago, and my now-ex-husband saw him last month!!! Of course, my ex now lives two hours away from him and has had an open invitation from Dad, but still, I'm his daughter, I should be seeing him.

Besides, my boss just told me last week that we won't be allowed to cash in any vacation time this year (geez, there goes my Xmas "bonus") so I have to take the time off somewhere. So I'm flying to Baltimore (BWI), my ex-sis-in-law is picking me up for a night on the town, then I pick up my rental car and drive down to see my dad. If I have time I may try to meet w/my ex for lunch or dinner, just to say hello.

Actually hubby and I had already spent a vacation near Whitby 4-5 years ago and we did climb up to the ruins! Not very likely to do that again though

My brother's parents-in-law are English and they own a cottage in a village near Whitby that they rent out. They invited us to stay there if we like. We're not sure about adding an extra weekend in Whitby though. Having visited the place already, maybe we'd prefer to check out a new area.

Northumberlands not far. It's where i used to live.

Fab beaches as well as the countryside, not forgetting the castles where the dukes and duchesses still reside but open their homes to the public to help on the up keep of them.( I'm promoting my old home town well!)
