What vacations are you taking this year?

[Monster]

3 days at Taste of Rockford

You live in Rockford?

This year will be interesting. My wife is switching jobs and I think she'll have to go down from 3 weeks/year to 2 weeks/year. So, that might crimp a lot of plans.

We were initially planning an Alaska Cruise this summer for our 5th Anniversary, but we might have to re-think just on time contraints.

Worst case we do San Jose/SF again. Easy drive there (only 10 hours).

Did she make the switch already? Just tell employer she has a trip pre-planned. I've never had an employer say "Well you can't have the job then."

Tentatively late August to late Sep:

Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, northern Colorado, maybe southern MT if time.

The issue is not whether or not her new employer will say "yes" or "no" (i should have clarified that), but rather the terms of the vacation and how much extra she'll have afterwards--especially if an emergency happens with her family and on short notice she has to go back home or the like. It's more like "will an alaska cruise take up too much of her vacation hours?" not "Will her new job alow her to do it?"

Plus, this job is her finally being able to do what she always wanted to do, so she is of the mindset of the cruise will be sacrificed is needs be.

No you don't.

Just got back from the Bahamas, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Cambodia and I am exhausted.

I've been to Vietnam and Laos several times, always fun.

Oregon wine country, Scotland and Vegas... Thus far....

 

[Globetrotter]

I do a race track destination thing every year. Going to ship myself and a car to Monterey, CA for 2016.

My wife lectures all over the globe and I tag along when its somewhere I'm interested in. Want to go to Carnival this year.

No you don't.

Rockford is an awesome place. Going to plan my next vacation from where we live in the SF Bay area so I can spend a couple of weeks in beautiful Rockford. In February I think.

Looking to add two Oregon Pinto Noirs to our wine list this spring. Let me know if you have any incredible wines!

St Croix Lima, Tokyo and if I'm lucky bora bora

 

[DrGonzo]

My employer sends me to a CME course (within reason) every year and I always go 50/50 on the quality of the course vs being in a cool location. Then I pay for a couple extra nights and the wife joins me. Last year was Manhattan. I think I need to be near a beach this year[emoji57]

 

[BringBackDitka54]

I hear Detroit is nice this time of year.

I am not much of a wine drinker, but I do like stuff from Oak Knoll Winery, if that helps.

WOW. I also have Bora Bora and Japan this year. I have an extra week as well and was considering Machu Picchu.

I was under the impression you made these journeys last year...:lol:

 

[clonetrooper264]

Ft Lauderdale this year. Timeshare has the most random locations, but I guess it could be worse.
