OH HEY, GOT ANY SUMMER PLANS?

[HEIRESS]

Wanted to do a cali-trip but decided to save it until next summer when we can take a good 2-3 weeks and hit the entire west coast and maybe even arizona etc. It will be our honeymoon basically (fuck resorts)

Only big plans this summer is to take a week off and unleash my inner hippy by taking a tour through two of BC's gulf islands.

First stop is a few days on Salt Spring Island, we are going to stay here:

So cute I could goddamn spit.

We will spend our days going on farm/winery tours, hiking around and eating our faces off in places like this

Then we are off to Mayne Island where my best friend from univerisity lives so we will just be chilling out and doing outdoorsy things with her and ending the week by attending this local music festival:

Especially excited for the field to table feast on the saturday night!

Plus we will be doing a bunch of weekend camping trips throughout the summer as always.
Summers in BC <3

and you?

I sure do.

Early in June: Tahoe
Late in June: Seattle

Making local, drivable trips to Santa Cruz and Monterey at some point probably in July. I won tickets to the Monterey Bay Aquarium last summer at the county fair, and the expire July 31st so I gotta go.

I want to try and visit San Diego in August but that's only if plane tickets get a random, cheap sale.

My big trip doesn't come until November. I'm going to Oaxaca then.

U2 in Edmonton was gonna kick off my summer but Bono's back is broke...

In August it’s Santigo de la Ribera to papa’s casa we go...

Heiress,we used to haunt Salt Spring as wicked mischievious youths,once the islanders chased us from our campsite to the ferry dock where the local RCMP constable held us until the next morning's boat came in...my fave Gulf Island destination ever: http://www.cliffhousecottages.com/

Dang, I was thinking about hitting up Seattle too but not until August!

Moot, I have TOTALLY looked longingly at that website before.
I must stay there at some point in the future.

I wish my papa had a casa there

You really do need to go its awesome. I went to Portland and Seattle last year to visit a friend I loved it! Heading back to Portland again this August. I'm super psyched. We are going to head to Astoria again and do a better Goonie tour. Wish I could be there in June though...because this looks like fun!

Seattle is just an amazing place, I never take for granted how fantastic this area is. The summers are incredibly comfortable. Come on up and take a ferryboat ride, go to the market, checkout the neighborhoods and great food. You'll be awestruck. It is on.

I have 3 weeks off in late July through mid-August off and 10 of those days will be a combination motel, hotel, campground trip driving out of Seattle through the Oregon coast (the Oregon Coast is Outstanding) and ending up at the California Redwoods.

For the past 10+ years I've been going to the mid-Oregon coast staying in Lincoln City as a home base. The whole area is about mental decompression and excellent seafood. It's nowheresville.

I'm ready... this past year I've been paying off credit cards from my other expedia trips... I went berserk and broke. Over $10,000 on trips in the past 2 years.

The weekend I'm there, it's PRIDE weekend.

I've been once before to Seattle. I love it there. If my body could handle cold/rainy climates for long periods at a time I'd totally live there.

But unfortunately I need a constant 60-80 range only. All year long. Otherwise I have health problems out the ass.

[trailerprincess]

A week in Cancun for a friends wedding. Should be bloody ace

We're in the midst of a 20 day overcast scattered shower binge. I love it. I got my grunge on. Wanna go throw some axes into a stump.

[monkey]

i am definitely going to montreal at some point in the next month, just have to just get the will to drive the 6.5 hrs.

i am definitely going camping around upstate, 2 days in june, 4 days in july, and hopefully more in august.

ummm... there are more little trips here and there, like the now annual trip to AC that i take with my friend in august. but joisey doesn't count.

well...the show is just technically postponed but the seriousness of the surgery means the posibility of starting the tour woun't happen until sometime next year...ticketmaster has been sitting on my money for seven months now...theres no way i'm gonna let them profiteer on it for another 6,8 or 12 months...crooks...I had a deep feeling this show wasn't gonna happen,very strange,think i posted about here somewhere...anyway's I'll travel to see them when it happens again and try not to watch this as not to see it before it happens live:

Holy balls I had no idea how many of you enjoy our happy little enclave in the northwest corner.

It's driving me a little nuts right now because of the aforementioned rainyness (I want to bike to work already!). But I am starting to smell summer in the air and looking forward to lazy afternoons jumping in the lake and snoozing on the grass at Magnuson park. I hope the weather cooperates, it's so enjoyable here when it's sunny!

Those of you making your way to Seattle this summer, look me up! There are some new fun quirks emerging (speakeasys) in the nightlife and of course there is also the wonderful wilderness complete with hikes, alpine lakes and other associated loveliness not so far outside the city if you have time.

You know what I appreciate most about Seattlle?...well other than Tom Robbins and the beauty of Puget Sound,it's the fact that people know how to walk with umbrellas without taking each others eyes out...they have bumpershoot ettiquite down pat...

Just been thinking about my trips this summer - I want to do loads without any real plans hammered. I could be in europe by end of June but the person I'm supposed to be travelling with is unreliable. It was by a forum and she sometimes doesn't respond for ages so looking at solo travel again - like shall I just head to europe and see where the wind takes me? I'm a a lot more comfortable doing that in the states than I am in europe. Dunno why when its technically better for me in europe but I suppose its cus I know fudge all about that great big mass of land less than an 100 miles to the east of me. Hmmmms.

Camping in the peaks tho last weekend and again twice in june hopefully so thats something

I'll be in San Diego again on July 22. hopefully if the stars align and flights are cheep I can get my ass back to the carribean again. Jealous of your seattle trip, my buddy has been living up there for like 4 years, I have been meaning to visit him.

Also, I plan on riding my bike around town in the summertime.

[hpdrifter]

You should, man.

[befsquire]

nothing that i want to do, only things i have to do. including two seminars.

[roosta]

Watch the World Cup
Holiday in Japan for 2 weeks, fulfilling a life-long dream.
Chill out the rest of the time. Read lots.

[abbott]

I got a new boat so I have 5 trips planned between now and late Sept, Fishing New Mexico lakes for Trout, Lake Trout, Bass and walleye. Next trip is 3 nights/4 days to Eagle Nest and Heron lake.

Just got the country club membership so I plan on taking the family to the pool and playing golf with my almost 7 year old. Hit a lot of range balls and dial in my short game. She told me she wants to be a golfer so lets see it.. Also she wanted to know if she could have a Beastie Boys themed birthday party and wants to get her own BBoys cd.

Couple of trips to visit my family and wife’s family.

Work.

My youngest turns 2 in August so the beach vacation is next year when we can manage better.
