I don't see any family vacation threads stickied, so sorry if this sort of thing has already been posted in the bar, but here goes...


My wife and I are in a HUGE argument about our Summer vacation destination and it's barely Spring!

She's never been to the biltmore estate even though she spent her youth years in South Carolina, and she thinks the Blue Ridge Mountains would be fun for the little ones to see.

I've never been myself, only seen that big ass house in that Hannibal movie, and thought it was pretty cool.

But I'm more of a beach guy when it comes to a vacay destination this year, plus I"m kind of conservative and heard that Asheville is really liberal so it might get on my nerves. I thought maybe we could try to meet halfway visiting Biltmore on our way back home (this will be a road triop)

But I have NO idea what a good value would be for a beach rental (I definitely need Air Conditioning because I heard it gets really sweaty hot down there)

Any good recommendations on beach destinations in NC???

This might just save my marriage guys. Looking forward to any good suggestions (not troll suggestions, douche)

Thanks!

Is this "HHM Makes Threads to Bait BB Back to CCS Day"?

Should we make March 31st that official day?

I can't offer any suggestions for the area, but once you decide, I can recommend that you use http://www.vrbo.com/ to find a good rental. It's been good to me in the past.

Thanks, I will look this up after I'm done trying to figure out what my next thread topic is going to be. :)

Shit, that's RIGHT! I forgot that he lives in NC!!! I bet he would have some good recommendations too! I'd PM him but I don't think is box is set up for that...

What about NCChifan? does he have an inbox? I'll check. Thanks for jogging my memory Scoot.

Hi HHM -

I'm not sure if there is a documented rule about "abuse of thread create feature" or not. I know Crys is trying to crack down on what he perceives as "trolling".

Just a friendly warning. FWIW I like the threads and would not take it as "trolling".

I lost the battle of vacation this year to my wife. I wanted Mexico, she wanted Disney with the kids. She won, spent two nights in Anaheim for Disney and then drove to and stayed in Venice in LA for the last two nights.

Conditions were though, that I pick the next destination for the next vacation. Greece, Bahamas, Italy, are on the list. I might make out OK since I plan on going to Las Vegas this fall for a sporting event as well.

Vrbo is good, we looked there, but we used AirBNB for the place we stayed in Venice Beach. I will note though, when we got to our apartment in Venice it looked as one of the beds wasnt made and cleaned. We mentioned it to the host, and he was there on 7 minutes and changed and cleaned everything by hand and was overly apologetic.

BB is into motorcycles, loves guns, and hates Asheville because of liberals.

Maybe on your vacation to the Blue Ridge Mountains you'll end up wanting to stay there and then in a few years you'll actually move there.

Did your wife randomly flip one of your vehicles while getting the mail?

These are all common qualities of older white males. Surely you're not naive enough to think only BB thinks this way?
