June 2, 20232 yr Want to hear where y’all are going! I can’t brag yet we are still looking at 30A and maybe a white water rafting trip. We can’t plan until Monday for an odd reason.

June 2, 20232 yr In playa del Carmen now and it's amazing. Food, people, and the US dollar are strong, nothing not to like...except the mafia, taxis, driving, and fucking speed bumps everywhere.

June 2, 20232 yr Yellowstone area for 7 days with a 1.5 day side trip to the Tetons starting on July 1.
June 2, 20232 yr I’ve already done 30A, Cabo, and the Indy 500. Looking to round out the summer with Jackson Hole, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nashville. Edited June 2, 20232 yr by Telegraph_it
June 2, 20232 yr Just got back from Napa and Carmel. About to go to St. Barth. Later in the summer will be Sardinia. Might squeeze in a Colorado fly fishing trip.
June 2, 20232 yr just got back from 2 weeks in the Keys. That's a long time in the keys. I got bored, truthfully.
June 2, 20232 yr A week in croatia, grilling, drinking beer, watching rugrats run around. other than that random festivals and mountain trips on weekends
June 2, 20232 yr Cruise in Norway for 8 days in August Italy in September. Treviso, Cortina d'Ampezzo (Dolomites), Bologna, Greve in Chianti and Serralunga d'Alba.
June 2, 20232 yr I joked about Abilene earlier, but we are taking a really great trip in September (although I guess technically that's autumn and not summer.) Flying to Athens for 3 days then, then getting on a cruise to 2 greek islands, Istanbul Turkey, Izmir, Turkey, Alexandria, Egypt, Cairo, and ending with 2 days in Jerusalem. We're going fancy with Oceania. It's a smaller ship and food and amenities are supposed to be outstanding.

If you see someone who looks exhausted wearing a five month old in an infant carrier and chasing after my 4 and 2 year old around Jenny or String Lake say hi.
June 2, 20232 yr We're going with 4 families. 21 people, 8 parents and kids ranging from 27 to 4. And the 4 year old is probably the best behaved and most fun to be around.
June 2, 20232 yr 9 days in Maui and 2 in Oahu with the wife and kids in late July. None of us have ever been. Can't wait.

June 2, 20232 yr Greece for two weeks--Athens then some islands. Then stopping in London on the way back for 4 days because I promised oldest daughter I would take her some day. Technically, work trip but only have a few hours of work stuff here and there. Wife joining me for part of the trip then oldest daughter flying over for the rest.

June 2, 20232 yr Seriously struggling with not going to Italy for a beach trip this summer... like really bumming me out. BUT we will get a long weekend in Isla Mujeres and we'll fly into Portland and then roadtrip Oregon and northern California. But I'm still seething. I'll fix this next year.
June 2, 20232 yr Because of the Italy trip, that means no Brazil trip this year. That makes me sad. But I am excited about Italy.
June 2, 20232 yr Since May 21st: Condesa, Mexico City London Prague Munich Berchtesgaden Werfen and Salzburg Fussen Garmisch- Partenkirchen After tomorrow: Zurich Bern Lauterbrunnen Wengen Milan Florence Nice/Cote d'Azure Madrid Cancun Cozumel

June 2, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, Biff Tannen said: JFC. I take back my rep on the earlier post. You’re coming home in a body bag. Nah, it will be fun. The trip is split up into three sections, west side of Yellowstone for several nights, north side of Yellowstone for several more then 2 nights in Jackson. At the first stop, we're staying with my SiL and BiL with their two kids (22 and 18) in a house. The other two families are glamping nearby. Then we're staying in a condo (just five of us) and the other three families glamp. Finally, it's just 5 of us going back to Jackson for the last 1.5 days. But I do think I'll wish I hadn't quit drinking at some point.
June 2, 20232 yr Heading up to our place in Alaska for 9 days in June and 14 days in August with a three night trip to Auberge Etereo in Riveria Maya in mid July.
June 2, 20232 yr got to Maui last Thursday and leaving tomorrow. first time to Maui and we are staying in the Ho'olei villas behind the Grand Wailea (west side of island). pretty good views from the porch. Just mostly chilling at the beach and pool. did a snorkel trip to the crater and some surfing lessons. ran into way more turtles surfing than snorkeling. a big one got tangled up in my leash for a bit.
June 2, 20232 yr 5 days Barcelona, 7 in Miami Platja and 3 in London in July. Then a week on the Comal...
June 2, 20232 yr Flying into Munich in late July, spending a day there, driving through Austria for a week (stops in Langenfeld and Lech) and ending in Switzerland (staying/eating at Schloss Schauenstein in Furstenau) for a couple days.
June 2, 20232 yr In June, 4 days in Toledo, 7 days in Madrid. London for work (does not count, but I do have fun on the evenings) Stockholm for Midsummer I do not travel in July and August when kids are out of school. I hold down the fort at work and let my colleagues who have kids take vacation. That being said, I might have to head to London again for work, which will mean a weekend or two somehwhere else, and might head up to Maine for work this summer (we have an office in Portsmouth, NH, and Maine is right there). In September, will go somewhere as I am headed back across the pond for work, but not sure where just yet. Thinking maybe Montenegro, a Greek Island, Cyprus, or maybe hit Vienna and Budapest. Not making any plans until later this summer.

Probably more. We went probably every other year before we had kids but haven't made it back since New Years 2015/2016. Still looks nice. Great spot.

Aloha bruddah. Yea, snorkeling the crater is underwhelming, the real fun is scuba on the back side. Great spot to stay!
June 2, 20232 yr My wife and I are hitting up Charleston for 4 nights next week. At least hopefully so. Of course our oldest woke up sick with a fever this AM. Hopefully plenty of time to get through all of us if whatever it is is going to spread before we leave Weds.
June 2, 20232 yr Headed back to Tahiti in September. I am going to camp this time in Raiatea and spend a few days in Moorea so I can hopefully swim with the humpback whales. I want to spend a couple of days in Tahiti again as well just to go see a few things I liked in January.
June 2, 20232 yr Nothing crazy this summer, visit family in San Antonio and Denver. October hitting London though

Ours(Maui) just left in early May.
June 3, 20232 yr This is going to be the first summer in a while without any legitimate trips. Oldest starts college next year, so she is doing a couple of summer immersion camps at schools she is interested in, both kids leave for a mission trip tomorrow, youngest has a long camp late June, and the oldest is heading to Jamaica to visit a friend’s family for a couple of weeks. By the time they got all that pieced together we decided being home by ourselves that much would be a vacation and we would skip a year.

Assuming you'll be in San Juan, there's one in the Renaissance, one in the Marriott, and one in the Fairmont, all on the beach in Condado.
June 3, 20232 yr 99% sure I did my honeymoon there. Nice place. My fam went to Cancun every summer as a kid and I got to climb that pyramid before they closed it off. Chichen Itza is bad ass. The pyramids are breathtaking, we did a few Mayan Ruin tours, Tulum and Coba to name a few. After a long day, we had to cool off in the water in the "sinkholes". For a poor country, there is some amazing views.
June 3, 20232 yr Right now spending a couple of weeks in Athens, Paros, Santorini, and Crete. So far, great. There are, however, a lot of people in this world.
