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.
Please indulge my little request. I've had a long day. thanks, J.
p.s. no, not the year. sillies..

Hi J!

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

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

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!

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

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!

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.
Anyway, keep the dates rolling in..
btw stw~ aren't you currently on holiday? Portugal?

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

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!!

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.

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"..

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

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.

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.

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.
