Just curious what the Fodorites are up to this summer. Might give us travel-challenged a few good ideas.

I'm going to Puerto Vallarta for the first time!!

Atlanta this weekend and New Orleans in September. C'mooooonnnnnn gumbo!

I'm off to Queensland, Australia.....

We're spending 2 days in Seattle before taking the Alaska Ferry up the Inside Passage, then a week in the Anchorage area. We were lucky to get a cabin, I was told most people reserve back in December as soon as the ferry starts taking reservations.

Key West next week, then Alaska (cruise) in July, beachhouse in Gulf Shores, Alabama in August and possibly Europe in September.

Flying to Denver - heading north thru Wyoming to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Black Hills etc. -- west thru Wyoming to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons -- south to Salt Lake City for a couple of days. Flying home from SLC. Can't wait. -- 6 weeks from Saturday.

Late Summer a couple of days in Vermont.
Happy trails to all of you. Marie

Canoeing and camping in the Boundary Waters in July.

We just returned from three weeks in Kenya via Paris where we stoped for five days.
Alaska in July and Greece in October. We are independent traveleres.

I will be staying home in
No. California and eating TV dinners in a hot, dark house. ;^D

New Orleans in 3 weeks for a weekend, Minnesota over 4th of July to see boyfriend's family, New Hampshire (Lake Winnepasaukee)for 6 days in late July/early August, then in October (I know, not really summer) Scotland for 12 days!!!
Happy travels-

Going to the Bank to pay off the mortgage on our new house with the money we should be spending jetting off somewhere exotic, sigh..............

Well, only because you asked... mostly trips I'll never recall: to Lexington, KY (on a prop plane, no less); WV for a wedding (finally she's met someone nice); to NC for the annual family beach outting (what can I say); then FL, then FL again (to kick back and brown that tummy some more and watch the drought); then MI, for business, I think). But if it's the fall, then S. Africa, in October. Hope your travels are safe and enjoyable. Ciao

A week on Tahoe's west shore, week in Mammoth Lakes and then, in September, 6 days in fabulous Kauai for the big 20th anniversary!

Haven't decided yet (isn't that horrible).

Probably will pop up to DC for a weekend to see the mall before construction begins on the WWII memorial. Might go to WV for a weekend of rafting. Might go to the beach for the day.

Big trip in September and haven't decided where to go yet. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Hey, NCGRRL, ya' better hurry ... I'm sure ya' know ... W. signed that WWII bill the other day, and I can hear the earthmovers coming. I'm not sure he actually knew what he was approving, but he did say something like he was glad they'd be able to trash the Mall like they did the quad at Yale. Something to that effect. For September, what about an asian tour, say to Bangkok. Or to Italy just before they harvest the grapes (Venice would be very nice then). Or to the Tetons in Wyoming ... the trees should be turning. Whatever, have a good one. Ciao.

I know I have to hurry on up to DC. Like to get some 'before' and 'after' photos. I'm not getting into a political battle (register unaffiliated voter here) over the issue.

Trying to go to all the national parks after the thread that start off with "how many states have you been too," that then went to how many national parks have you been to. Um, Bangkok is a little too far. Never been to Italy, have to put that in the possibilities list. Not sure I want to do Italy as a solo traveler but you never know . . .

Thanks for the suggestions and Ciao!

two weeks on the coast of Maine

Staying cool for a month in North Carolina! A few weekend trips to Atlanta for the Braves and shopping. Possibly a trip to Upstate NY for my grandmother's memorial service. We'll finish off the summer ( and a lonnnggg three month school break for the 3 kids) with a trip to Atlantis in the Bahamas.

We are flying out of Toronto this friday to Oahu for 9days, then on to the Big Island for 10 days. Our first trip to Hawaii and we are celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary..
