Vacation? Have you taken it yet?
If you have, where have you gone? If not, are you taking one? Where are you going?
Oh, I am a Wichita tourism statistic, what a beautiful place! |

Went to Noel, Mo to float the Elk River in early June.
Going to Vegas in October. We'll probably take a few camping trips in between. |
I may get the chance to go back to Monaco this summer. We'll see.
|
Wow....
People come here on purpose???? I thought they only came to Wichita to pick up airplanes? :hmmm: |
Going to Dallas in July. It's cold in Dallas in July....right? :rolleyes:
Going to San Antonio in October. Both business trips, but should be some time for fun and golf. |

Heading out on Saturday for 10 days in the Rocky Mountains.
|
I'm going to Wichita in a few weeks to visit with my Bizzaro In-laws. :(
|
Not yet, probably the first week of september, which is my bday week, may go to cabo san lucas if we can afford to.
|
Just got back from a cruise to the Bahamas: Nassau, Coco Cay, Key West. 2nd time I'd been on the exact same cruise.
Had the time of my life. Swam with dolphins(Nassau), snorkeled(Coco Cay), rode scooters all around KeyWest. Going to Dallas this weekend for family reunion. |
Went to Breckenridge in January. Went to Chicago last month for work. Going back to Chicago over labor day. I won a 7 night stay in Panama City in a silent auction that I haven't used yet. That pretty much kills the vacation for this year.
Oh, and I took a day off work to go to Rolla for St. Pat's. :D |
Spent a week in the Turks and Caicos Islands

Ginger Blue hotel, or whatever it was has been leveled. Nothing left there now but an empty lot. |

Unfortunately, I've spent all my vacation time interviewing for jobs. However, I do plan to take some time to make it back to Western Kansas to drive a combine. WOW. I need a real vacation. You guys are my heros.
|
Went to Russia in January, going to Budapest, Hungary in August.

During spring break, my fiance and I went on a cruise to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. Also, I just went on a 3 day golf trip with 12 friends to Tannenbaum golf course....then 2 days later we left for Santa Rosa Beach FL just outside of Destin for week long beach house vacation. As a teacher I will never be wealthy, but how much is a 2 and a half month summer worth every year? |
Anyone know how a time share works? my gf's dad may discuss giving us one or getting us one.

I dont get vacations, yes it sucks. So reading all the places you guys have went/been is disheartenening.
|
I spent a 7 days in the the Bahamas last week. Unfortunately, I had to return back to reality.
|
I'm taking the fam-damn-ly down to Louisiana for a week over the 4th holiday. My Gparents live on a boat in West Monroe, the kids will get a kick out of staying there. My Gparents are also fairly well retired so they do as little as they can which sounds fine by me. :)
|
Probably going out to Denver in July.

I would love to do that at least once.... I have always wanted to join a harvest.... |
I took a mini-vacation to KC in April.
I went to Panama City Beach for a day while in Florida for work. Don't know if those count as vacations, but that's as close as I've gotten. |
Well we went camping and kayaking alot in the spring... Noel Mo, Ozark Ar, Antles Ok and so on...
We are big into kayaking... Taking a vacation for Rocklahoma.... Other than that. My wife is a nurse and works 3 weekends a month... So really nothing until the fall, then we are going to do some camping and having football sundays out in the campsites... Thank you Direct TV! |
Redrum should take interesting vacations & the postcards...
|
My main vacation will be around Christmas. I'll take a long weekend at the end of July. Going to see my best friend in a major role in the St. Louis Shakespeare Company's performance of Othello.

You pay a large up front cost, then the annual maintence fee is about what it would cost you to rent "your time share" that the company is renting from an owner of the property. The biggest rip off comes when you want to sell it. They charge you a substantial listing fee, then they don't sell it. Why would they? They would just sell a new one, and keep all the revenue, since their is no actual limits or property involved. |

yeah he takes alot of vaca's wherever so i guess he wanted to discuss one with her that we could go on. I always saw those commercials and never understood it but that helps. Whatever works i just want to go on a vacation hehe, but i personally wouldnt get one based off what you said. |

I had a buddy do something similar, 12 guys went together and bought three condos on the west coast of Florida. It turned into a real soap opera, a lot of laughs for me, hilarious. They did surprise me though, by keeping it together as long as they did. Short version, a couple of the guys (drunk) got the rest of the owners evicted from the golf course forever, etc. |
Took the kids to Schlitterbahn and did the San Antonio thing a couple of weeks ago.
We're taking a week off at the end of July and will take the new Gold Wing out to the Black Hills for a fun week of riding/drinking/gambling. Was going to go to TC, but since it's on HBO we changed our plans. :) Below is a pic of the new bike we'll be cruising on. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...f/GoldWing.jpg |

Went to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite earlier in the month. I'm really bummed about the fire - that's such a beautiful area. I guess I was lucky to see it when I did.

Well, it's not for a vacation, but I just found out I'm flying back down to Tallahassee later this week for the weekend.
|
Vacation?
Nothing over 2 work days in years. This summer's vacation will be relocating and becoming self employed. |
Quote:
I would love to take you up on that... my plans are to be out of work by next memorial day and off to an airline or corp pilot job, so I could use 3-4 days of extra $$$ at that time... |

The wife and I are planning to go somewhere that we've never been in the continental US at the end of July. Right now I'm leaning towards San Antonio. Is that a good or bad idea? Thanks

Built in sitters that want some quaility time with thier grandson and I get to go out and PLAY! My wife had surgery 3 months ago and has no vacation time left so she gets to stay back here and work. Wish she could go but my son and I will have a blast in Vegas. |
I went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans in Feb. That was pretty fun, a little scary at times but for the most part it was cool

We just got back from Florida. We went to Disney World for 8 days. Next year the wife and I are taking a cruise and leaving our ungreatful children at a babysitter.
|
Took the family to Florida Memorial Day weekend. Stayed with some friends for the week. Spent a couple of days at Cocoa Beach and did the Universal Studios thing. The fishing charter didn't happen because the waters were way too choppy.
Just got back from 5 days at Tuttle Creek in Manhattan. Wife and friends like that Country stuff. Eh, I just go to make the wife happy. But it is a fun time. No kids, no work, lots of beer drinking and boobies. :) Plan to go up to Minneapolis in August for and extended weekend. Will be staying with a friend who lives up there. Plan to go to the Dream Theater concert up there on the 9th. Then we'll drive over to River Falls and catch the Chiefs training camp. |
Tomorrow AM, leave for San Fran, drive down Pacific Coast Highway (stop at Pebble Beach) go to LA, and down to San Diego.
I may stop in Tijuana to make a roid run for Bonds. |

Went to Winter Park, CO for a week of snowboarding in Feb. So Cal and Disneyland for a week last month.
Our next 2 trips are through Yosemite in the mountains next week and KC in Sept for the home opener. We have had a good timeshare experience. My Dad and his family split a large house in June Lake, CA (just north of Mammoth Mountain (15 miles) and east of Yosemite (30 miles) with his high school buddy and their family. They are all responsible for all of the costs and decisions so that is probably why I like the arrangement. When it is available it is a sweet place to stay for 15+. |

The Hearst Castle is also cool since you'll be in the area. Paso Robles is a real up and coming wine area near there. Nquite as good or expensive as Napa...but still very good. |
Went to Vegas in may, the first real time off I've had in a little over two years.
|
Gonna drive up to the Olympic Peninsula in a few weeks. Might stop off in Portland to have a beer with Taco John on the way.....
|
Went on a 7 day cruise in March to Mexico. It was my first cruise, I went with 8 other people and had the greastest time.
|
Went to Mertyle Beach SC last month for a family vacation after finishing college. Last year I was in Galway, Ireland for a week in March for St. Patricks day. Next year I'm going to Costa Rica.
|
The end of April the mrs and I went to hawaii for a week.
Two weeks ago 18 of us went to Panama City Beach, Florida. Whata great time that was. We rented Wave runners and spent alot of time on the beach. There is many places to play mini putt. One different thing we did was attemtp to walk through a maze. That was fun. Panama City Beach has alot of cool restraunts and bars. PCB has 27 miles of beach. In two weeks I'm going fishing with one of my brothers at "Lake of the Woods" www.ballardsresort.com Were hoping to catch some nice Walleyes :) and then eat ALOT of Walleye. The end of August we shave some friends coming in from Rockford, Illinoise. They'll be camping for four nights and we'll be doing alot of boating and tubing and water skiing. Its a busy summer for sure. I wouldn't want it any other way. |

Vacation? What is that? I can never afford to go anywhere. I usually spend the free time with my son.

Good timing with this thread.......
The wife and I left last Thursday for a golf trip to Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. Had an AWESOME time. 6 rounds of golf in 4 days. I'll post pictures when I get back...... Which was supposed to be LAST NIGHT. :cuss: Flying home, we get to our connection city (Dallas) to find out that our flight to STL has been cancelled due to weather, and the earliest they can rebook us is 9:35 tonight. (After standing in line for 2 hours and waiting in line for a rental car for another 2 hours.....got to the hotel about 1:00am......to find a room with a double bed. ONE double bed. But it's better than the hundreds of people who were sleeping in the airport....) So, we're stuck in Dallas, without our luggage. Got the clothes on my back, and my backpack full of electronics. If you see a guy with a shaved head wearing a red Chiefs T-shirt wandering through Big D today, say hi. Gonna try to make the best of it and go to Sammy's BBQ, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the 6th Floor Museum (JFK) Hopefully things get back on track tonight. Nothing against Dallas, but I'd rather not be stuck here any longer than necessary. Wish us luck...... |
