I really want to go somewhere, but until I sell my place and move back to WA, I won't be going anywhere. Soooooo...........I will have to live vicariously through all of you. Do you have plans to go anywhere or do something fun in the next few months?

I know for me Judy...I always every year go camping with my kids. I love camping and being in the woods. Now not a Yogi bear campgrounds or the like, but in the real woods and semi-primitive.
I love my campfires and looking at the stars away from city lights. Just absolutely breathtaking. We fish and swim and just have a good ol' time. We go to the Black River Falls area in Wisconsin and I look forward to my trip every year. We also tent camp. Being in the woods, justs gives me a peace, I can't describe and brings me in tune with who I am.
The best part is watching my kids and the fun they have and sitting around the campfire talking. They tend to like to scare me too, but I do get them back.
I only have one issue......they bring their cell phones and I go nuts cause I wanna get away from all that.....and just have them for emergencies only.
But, do ya think?????

I actually love going camping, but haven't been for a few years, but I like to go to caravan parks with all the facilities, but it's great sleeping in a tent. I haven't got any plans to go anywhere except a few days this weekend to visit my son and again will going at the end of April for his wedding. Am pretty excited the wedding invitations went out last week. We will be staying at a motel on the wedding weekend, so that will be nice - and if I get hungry KFC is next door
I'm going on a cruise in the Carribean, 4 weeks on a HUGE cruiseship, its gonna be great, I know!!
Cinema, swimming pool, casino, everything is onboard!
Then I'm off to Goa (India) to do some serious partying on the beaches there!
Hippies, acid and psychedelic trancemusic, oh man, can't wait!
But FIRST I have to hit that friggin' jackpot ofcourse...
A random of 15K will do..
Oh wel, 10K is also cool..

hahaha Anton, you hooked me in then
lol me too Anton, first thought was four WEEKS???, then kept thinking you must be a teacher to have the summers off, and to be honest I had no idea there was anywhere named Goa nor that India had such beautiful beaches --- geography is definitely NOT my strong suit lol....
Beaches and I are headed for our annual summer week at the lake side cottage... all amenities - as we're taking our Mom, a brother and my daughter. We take two cars so we aren't attached at the hip, plus bikes and moped... I love it there! Beaches is so loving and generous, I wish you each could have a sister like her!!
lacey I completely agree about the cell phones... lol sorcer3ss about KFC... I used to call on their headquarters - it's just in the next state. Judy are their any day trips you could take that wouldn't break your budget? We used to do that go to certain museums and parks but come home at night....

I think I'm going on a few short trips. I was going to Vegas next month to see my best friend and her family. Jeanne says "we'll stay in a hotel, and we can go by my sisters and see my MoM and Dad one day" But "I know we're gonna wanna gamble at LEAST one night and we can't go out with less than a grand each!!" I don't play like that anymore, but once she starts.. She can go a yr. without a bet, but once she starts the beast is OUT! I can't tell you how many fights we've gotten into in casinos! 5 minutes away and we're best buds again. Not a pretty sight. Someone I was dating said "WE SHOULD GO TO VEGAS!" I said no no no no no. We would have no meals together, you wouldn't see me and it would be the end of us!! Vegas and romance??? OMG- I don't want a light show or lounge act. I'm not into window shopping- I'm on a mission. Period.. So move your kids outta my way and no honey, don't make dinner reservations and god forbid I get paged!!! If I'm hot, they can call my name till the cows come home, I'm not leaving my play!!
I'm going to a couple music festivals in the next few months, camping with friends and like Anton said "Hippies, acid and psychedelic trancemusic, oh man, can't wait!"
(Anton, couldn't you just go to Amesterdam for that?)
Maybe to Laughlin with my sister and mom in June. My sister has a bowling tourney and we'd be staying 4 nights. Now if I only have to hang with her in the car under heavy sedation that might work!! I think I'l have a friend with a med. marajuna card pick up a couple brownies!! Good for my MoM but I'd love to see my sister eat one. Might chill her out a bit!!!!
And she's got another deal in July in San Fransisco. I wanna go. If I'm real lucky there will be a good show on and I'd meet up with my L.A. 'deadhead' friends. If not, I love the town and I have 2 friends that live in the bay area to visit. Oh and I HAVE TO GO to CITY LIGHTS BOOK STORE!!! Love bookstores, but thats THE ONE!! All the BEAT poets used to hang in the basement, Ginsberg, Leary, Kessey, Cassidy and William S. Bouroughs etc...
The music campouts are a blast!! It helps when you know the majority of people around and handy too! If anyone's in need someone helps out! And we come up with all kind of games- like potato 'alley' take a potato thats been in the campfire, let it cool slightly, set up some bottles and see who can handle it and knock down any bottles! Ok, it doesn't sound as fun as it was. But watching a drunk friend trying to STAND is a tall order.
As long as I don't have to babysit a drunk and they're not too sloppy, I can hang! I shouldn't just say drunks in this case. I don't wanna hear "so and so took too much ----- and we were wondering if...." The answer is NO! Mind your $hit, I'm not wearing a staff or first aid shirt and when I used to partake, I spent too many trips holding hands or talking someone down. Kinda kills your trip! Frikkin Hippies!!
After reading this it dawned on me... Thats probably why I don't mind taking vacations by myself!! I always meet people, hard to believe, being how shy I am.

I keep forgetting that most of you are preparing for Summer Holidays, I just have a long dreary Winter ahead of me, but at least it doesn't get as cold here as it does for you, particularly poor dani, you really should move somewhere warmer hon.
I'm going on a cruise in the Carribean, 4 weeks on a HUGE cruiseship, its gonna be great, I know!!
Cinema, swimming pool, casino, everything is onboard!
Then I'm off to Goa (India) to do some serious partying on the beaches there!

Same here Anton... and then I will go to Istanbul to have my teeth fixed (50% cheaper than in Holland) along with a nice holiday and some pampering in a spa hotel. No camping for me (have done it once in my adult life, 1 time is enough)

Well, THANK YOU Labell!!! But you taking the time to cook really makes the trip the best!!! It is fun to be with the family for that week.
I hope to go to Vegas sometime this year, but there are no plans yet...Just keep watching the flight prices...(and I don't need to win a big jackpot like Anton for it to happen!) just need to make the decision.
