Birthday and travel question..
 
I am curious as to what month you were born in and where your favorite place to celebrate is.. sort of a fun and informal, but travel related post.((y))
Please indulge my little request. I've had a long day. thanks, J.
p.s. no, not the year. sillies..:S-

seetheworld Jul 24th, 2006 06:02 PM

Hi J! :)

August is the month of my birth. Where would you like to send me, Jetset?? I'm open to suggestions. :D

If I had to pick, I'd go to Bermuda. But I don't think that's in the cards this birthday.

MelissaHI Jul 24th, 2006 06:05 PM

I was born in October, and my favorite way to spend my birthday nowadays is on a plane headed anywhere. I've only done this a couple of times--the last time I was supposed to do this, Hurricane Wilma hit so my trip to Miami was thwarted.

:(

I guess I figure, if I'm on a plane on my birthday, crossing time zones somehow cancels it out!

starrsville Jul 24th, 2006 06:07 PM

October - and I'm hoping this year will either be Tuscany or Cape Cod. If not, it will be in the mountains.

BayouGal Jul 24th, 2006 06:08 PM

July . . . just had my b'day on the 9th! Love to celebrate just about anywhere as long as my DH is there, too! :)

STW, are you back home? How is your son's friend. He and your son have been in my thoughts and prayers!

jetset1 Jul 24th, 2006 06:13 PM

okay cool! I should make a chart. Just think if there were enough Fodorites who would post a b-day and, in theory, represent every day of the year..((^))
No wait.. if we all drank a toast that often, we'd be in sad shape.((d))
Anyway, keep the dates rolling in..
btw stw~ aren't you currently on holiday? Portugal? ((p))

jetset1 Jul 24th, 2006 06:16 PM

Starrsville~ Tuscany? Oh, I have had that on my list forever. I loved Under the Tuscan Sun. I watched it many times.((Y))((Y))((Y))
Libras and Leos, do I see a pattern? My dh was 8/20.((L))

jetset1 Jul 24th, 2006 06:18 PM

Oops, I mean IS 8/20. My lasagna hasn't killed him yet:))

AuntAnnie Jul 24th, 2006 06:19 PM

July 26th.
Planning TWO trips to Frieburg, Germany this year. My oldest daughter will be studying at the University there for a year. Can I go more than that??!
My fav place in my home state of MN is the North Shore of Lake Superior. Heaven.
Yeah for Leos!!

seetheworld Jul 24th, 2006 06:20 PM

Thank you so much BayouGirl -- my son is well and his friend is recovering.

J, we returned home late last night. I feel like I had a "few too many", but it's just jetlag, ugh. The trip was great.

seetheworld Jul 24th, 2006 06:22 PM

Mine is 8/22, Jetset!

Happy Birthday AuntAnnie! ((^))

jetset1 Jul 24th, 2006 06:27 PM

STW~ No wonder I always liked you. At the risk of sounding like Austin Powers, Leos and Aries get along quite well.. "groovy bab-bee, yeahhhh"..:o)

Open invite to new Fodies.. jump right in. Our village needs new blood!

LoveItaly Jul 24th, 2006 06:29 PM

I am a Libra jetset!! I have had the pleasure of having a surprise birthday party in my honor in Italy with about 45 Italians attending the party. It took me two days to recover, lol.

BayouGal Jul 24th, 2006 08:32 PM

Oh, LoveItaly, a birthday in Italy sounds like the best to me! :)

jetset1 Jul 24th, 2006 08:56 PM

Okay, you were born. How about .. how many generations of your family have you traced?
I am still trying to find out about the WW2 auntie who was a pinup girl.. and how many have visited Ellis Island and found records of your arriving family members? Someday, I want to do that.

Scarlett Jul 24th, 2006 09:02 PM

Month I was born: March
Fave place to celebrate : Anywhere !! :) Past celebrations...Paris/London/Las Vegas/St Martin
( Anniversary is November...again, the celebrations are almost always Away (Paris usually, Montreal too as well as Las Vegas and Jamaica)

jetset1 Jul 24th, 2006 09:05 PM

Alright!! Scarlett's in da house! What day m'dear? My son is 11/13. Scorpio:)

jetset1 Jul 24th, 2006 09:06 PM

Um, Pisces.. I was into the Bailey's, my bad..

Cali Jul 24th, 2006 09:08 PM

Happy upcoming Birthday AuntAnnie. Hope it is perfect. Same day as my best friend who also lives in MN. I too love the North Shore of MN and am counting the days til we leave.

jetset1 Jul 24th, 2006 09:14 PM

Scarlett Jul 24th, 2006 09:17 PM

:D March 23

Happy Birthday AuntAnnie!((f))

jetset1 Jul 24th, 2006 09:30 PM

Any Aries people, or just me?

Scarlett Jul 24th, 2006 09:43 PM

jetset, me! March 2rd Aries :D

NWkibby1 Jul 24th, 2006 09:43 PM

Thanx for the invite, Jetset! B-day is 8/29 > virgo< Very excited to be vacationing on the islands of Hawaii & Oahu this year during my special day! It would be cool to hear what you "see in the stars" ((*)) ((*)) ((*)) for me this August! :-/

OneWanderingJew Jul 25th, 2006 12:46 AM

Can I play? May 9th

In my mind, there is pretty much isn't a bad destination in which to celebrate my bday...buuuuuut...if $ were no object and OWJ2 would be able to go away too--anywhere in Italy, Hawaii, Australia or NZ, Paris, a beach somewhere....I'm easy to please and May is a good month to travel to most places!

Our anniversary and my OWJ2's bday are a month later so to be fair, I'd have to extend whatever trip to include his:)

PS Welcome home, STW! Never got a chance to post on FFRR but was thinking of your son's friend.

OneWanderingJew Jul 25th, 2006 12:48 AM

Oh, happy bday AuntAnnie!

wantsomesun Jul 25th, 2006 01:32 AM

October 28 here. I read somwhere that there are more babies born in October than any other month, figures 9 months earlier is January, coldest time of year, lol.

Wednesday Jul 25th, 2006 03:15 AM

wantsomesun-I am October 28 too, and do not meet many of us, funny....I like to celebrate anywhere I can here the fall leaves crackling as they blow down the streets, smell the crisp cool air, carve a pumpkin, and just begin to wear sweaters...

GoTravel Jul 25th, 2006 05:09 AM

June! I'm a Gemini and my favorite place to celebrate is either the beach (islands, South Florida, my back yard)or an urban setting (New York, London, Rome).

Can you tell I'm under the sign of the twin? I can't decide between the two.

Every time I book a trip to a beach, I think, why didn't I book a city trip and vice versa!

Samsaf Jul 25th, 2006 05:45 AM

June is my birthday, a GREAT vacation month!

I have spent past birthdays in Florida, Hawaii, Grand Cayman, and last year in the ICU(son had surgery). But all is well now; this past birthday was spent at home with my family. Next birthday, who knows?

Suki Jul 25th, 2006 06:04 AM

I'm an Aries - April 11th. The perfect spot for me would be Paris.

SAnParis Jul 25th, 2006 06:07 AM

August 7th - Paris (of course) !!

SAnParis Jul 25th, 2006 06:13 AM

Suki - I just seem to be following you around today..

jetset1 Jul 25th, 2006 06:25 AM

Suki~ We share the same day, oh boy.. ((^))and if we were in Houston, my sister would celebrate with us too. Is there anyone else here with a sibling that has the same birthday?
How my parents managed to have two kids, three years apart on the same day, remains a mystery to me!!((O))

Scarlett~ my dear, you are Pisces..Feb.19-March 20th.. usually, the feet are your weakest area, or ankles.. and you are a water baby so I bet you like swimming and the ocean. Highly intuitive with uncanny abilities, please let me know if any rings true.

Okay, this Aries needs more coffee.((C)) It's 6:23 here and it was muggy all night(in Alaska for heaven's sake)..J.

Pat2003 Jul 25th, 2006 06:32 AM

September. Usually we celebrate my birthday in Paris but not in 2006
This year it will be 5 mile hike to get to Hike Inn in Georgia's mountains where we stay for a couple of nights.

My dream birthday is going to be in a remote cabin in Alaska or on our private beach in the Seychelles.

kureiff Jul 25th, 2006 06:41 AM

September 28th.

My favorite place to celebrat isn't very exotic, I'm afraid. We usually leave the toddler with grandma and grandpa and go to Whitefish, MT for the weekend.

It's chilly and sunny outside. The aspens are just turning bright yellow. I get to wear my wool sweaters for the first time. We walk, shop, do some hiking around Glacier Nat'l Park, drink red wine, and eat good food.

It's a great time to have a birthday. And this year, I will be 30.

kureiff Jul 25th, 2006 06:43 AM

"Celebrate" not "celebrat". Sigh.

mooselywild Jul 25th, 2006 06:49 AM

April
Cannon Beach, OR. Espresso milkshake at the ice cream parlor......

BayouGal Jul 25th, 2006 06:53 AM

I think all the <font color="red">crabs</font> (June 22 - July 22) consistently display obvious signs of being the most intellectual in Fodorville. Don't y'all agree??!! :-*

jetset1 Jul 25th, 2006 07:03 AM

BayouGal~ It's too early to start a horoscope war, silly goose!![-X
I have admitted to being impulsive and somewhat fearless, except I had to climb a long ladder yesterday and had some anxiety.=-O
How about what's your month and best feature? Then we can all boast of something. Okay, I have strong legs:d
