can't believe it but my husband and i are leaving a week from today for my first trip ever to istanbul. will be spending the first week of april there and the second week in tel aviv. two different climates - exciting trip but nightmare packing !!

ROME !

We're also heading to Yosemite in mid-April. Maybe we'll run into Utahtea!

NYC with a 10-year-old -- her first time.

...besides going crazy?? I have a little 2nt. girls trip planned to Charleston and hopefully my husband will get the keys to his boss' lake house later on in the month!

Miami South Beach from Jersey. 2 CPA's wanting to chill out & warm up after taxes.

I'm making a long weekend and heading to Las Vegas to see a show.

i hope everyone writes trip reports!

kmpordagee,

Wouldn't that be a kick!

Utahtea

Ft Myers-Naples with my mother to stay with my Aunt who lives in Estero! Hope it is warmer than PA...

Portugal - here I come!

Going on my first buying trip to that country - hunting down hand-made ceramics. Yay! First time there and looking forward to it.

Marilyn, that sure sounds like a fun trip.

Yes, we hope so! It's our first trip with her as well. I've got the air tickets, but I'm having trouble with the hotel part. I usually stay with a friend, so the hotel booking is overwhelming to me. Think I should get a suite if possible so we have room for all 3 of us. Anybody want a housesitter in Manhattan April 21-26? We're GREAT with animals!

Marilyn, I know that when my DH's daughter was about 10 we started getting suites at hotels, when possible. It was nice to have our privacy in a separate bedroom at night and our own TV, while she slept on the sofa sleeper and had her own TV, as well. It kept us from having to watch too many cartoons when we were in the room.

Milan, St. Moritz/Davos to ski, and on to Zurich/Lucerne! Then my husband goes to Japan the end of the month, so I'll live vicariously through him.

Portland for business and Disneyland and California Adventure with the kiddos for fun!

Pretty tame for now but I'm dreaming of planning next big trip to Switaerland and Italy.

I'm going to Mal Pais, Costa Rica aka Paradise! A Big Surprise in store for my girlfriend at a romantic place called Casa Chameleon...already have some plans made to give her a little story book romance-it's so hard to keep a secret! I'll definite write a trip report to tell how it all worked out. Wish me luck

Best of luck, surfexec! Hey, go ahead and marry the girl!

Guess I'm doing your "tour" of duty as well as my own in April. If I combine my work travel schedule with vacation, then the itinerary for April is....San Francisco, Las Vegas, Omaha, New York, Omaha (again), Shanghai and San Francisco (again). Then again, I could stay home...nah!!!

Just a girls weekend here in Portland, but it will be fun.

SFImporter--You will love Portugal! I bought way too much stuff there and still remember tossing hair products, blow dryer, etc. just so I could get everything in my bags to get home.
