Summer vacations anyone?

We are trying to decide between family vacation to Disneyland or adult time in Vegas. My wife and I never got a honeymoon so we are leaning towards Vegas. The kids have been to Disneyland already once this year ...

I grew up there and know the area very well, so that is why we chose to stay there.

:rofl: Nope, not too many of those. Lots of healthy people and hippies. I'll be the fat chick with the guy that walks funny. I feel so out of place here, but I'm trying to get back into some semblance of "shape".

I live in Missoula.

Easy one. Vegas. ;)

Avoid hotels like Circus Circus, Sahara and Imperial Palace. They are dumps. Can't go wrong with places like Planet Hollywood, MGM Grand, NY,NY, Mirage or TI for the money. Excalibur and Stratosphere are great values too if you're on a budget, but you'll want to upgrade your room by offering the clerk a "sandwich" at check-in. Make sure you hit up the "Wicked Spoon" in the Cosmopolitan as well. It is a little pricey, but it will be a meal that changes your life! :D

Hey now. Round is a shape! :gj:

This year we are going to universal studios FL on july 14th

Well if all goes to plan and I get my motorcycle. I most likely being cruising around Ontario!

Booking my flight for Maui tomorrow night to soak in some tropical surroundings for a week in July :cool:

Also, Costa Rica can be quite reasonable cost wise. The most expensive part is getting there, but once you are there if you are after a cool herp / wildlife experience, you can definitely do it for cheap. There are a lot of places that rent out research cabins, usually pretty rustic, but generally has access to private bath, and a shared kitchen area for cooking. Most have power, some have limited power during certain times of day only, but hey, I've spent my time in those places before working in Belize, and it's definitely doable if you have the proper mind set. If you're after more luxery, it's going to cost, that's for sure! But still, 2 people for 10 days should NOT cost anymore than 4000 including cost of flights.

Where in southern IL? My family lives near Mt. Vernon.

We're moving to the St. Louis area this summer...does that count as a vacation? No? LOL

The hubby, my mom and I just got back from 4 days in southeast TX, visiting my dad's side of the family. It was so humid all I could think about was "good sheds! Good sheds!" LOL

I'm hoping to go this fall to visit my brother and his family. They live in VA.

Someday I'd love to take a vacation just for the sake of vacationing...not visiting family or attending a funeral. Growing up, we didn't live near either set of my grandparents so every summer and every Christmas break from school was spent traveling to visit them.

Hubby and I didn't even have a honeymoon since we were both in school when we got married. The only thing we've done that really could be qualified as a vacation is NARBC...and I don't think that really counts??

I think I'd like to visit DC...I like museums! LOL But my #1 Bucket List place though is Rome. I was an art major in college so you spend all this time learning about the masters and stuff and of course the whole of the art world was Rome at one point. It just looks like such a gorgeous city. One day... :rolleyes:

My boyfriend and I are going to go camping at Lake Raystown in August. We are going to go camping next month also just for a weekend to see how our dog will do before we go to Lake Raystown.

Daytona Reptile Breeders Expo! Taking the AutoTrain down and back with sleeper car. :gj:

My boyfriend, son, and I rented a house on the gulf coast of Florida for a week in August. SOOO looking forward to a break!
