milehiiu Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Getting that time of year to plan for next year. I know you are already thinking about vacation plans for next year. Whether a short road trip. Or long. Flight to any part of our great country. Or even overseas. HSN. Where are you planning to vacation next year ? - Vacation - Edited October 25, 2019 by milehiiu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Oldest son turns 21 Dec 23 we offered to take him to Vegas but he has not interest. He has his head on so much straighter than I at that age or even now. Hence the reason he is going to be the DR in family. Instead of christmas gifts we have decided a cruise to Bahamas for us and our older 2 kids boyfriend and girlfriend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 With my job there is weekend work. With my vacation and possible earned pto, I work it out to where I get 5-7 times of having Saturday to Wednesday off. Mostly just a break from work, piddle around the house. I can only take so much of the awkward social construct of spending so much time around people I would otherwise avoid. So I just do things spontaneously. Will surely go camping at brown county sp. Maybe a few days in Nashville,TN. Possibly Gettysburg/Philadelphia next fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I was considering 6 weeks in the Amazon rain forest, but learned wi-fi is unreliable there and my contract does not allow me to be off HSN that long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Ireland for 2 weeks in the spring. Going to surprise my wife. Her maternal grandparents immigrated to the US from there in the early 1900s as kids... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 2 trips on the books and 1 in development. Lake Tahoe in mid-June before the prices jump. Newport Beach for first round of NCAA tourney week with 15 or so friends from grade/high school (annual trip)....but the one I'm most excited about (think I mentioned in this or other threads) is flying to DC and renting a car and visiting Civil War and American Revolution sites up and down the area for a week.

Drroogh Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Heck I haven't even figured out 2019 yet! Have you looked at airfare recently? The grounding of the 737 MAX has created outrageous airfare!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Have to say though, a friend at church told me about https://www.travelzoo.com/ If you are looking for a prepackaged inexpensive vacation, you might want to visit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a trip down the blue ridge parkway my last summer of college. Saw a sign for Appomattox Courthouse and took a detour. I would fit that in if you can. Really ramped up my interest in civil war history. I think the even have guides where you can follow Lee's retreat from Petersburg.

Won't make it up to Trenton (Revolutionary) or down to Charleston (both) but trying to hit as many as I can in the Virginia/PA/DC/Carolina corridors as I can. Targeting the week after Masters next year. April 13 week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to take a route where I can go to Antietam on the way home. Hoping I can fit it in next fall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 We are close enough to retirement that we are starting to explore where we might want to spend the last part of our lives. Going to Asheville, NC in the Spring to check things out. May not be the last trip there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June is still risky time to go because night temps can be cold but once July 4th hits the prices get 3-4x more expensive until after Labor Day so that why we go in June.
