Where is everyone going for vacation?

We are gonna take a few hops from base here over to Hawaii and maybe Korea once.

Anyone ever been to Buckeye
Dubai? My wife has talked about it someday... I'm not so sure.

Heading to Gatlinburg the first week of October. Other than that, maybe a trip to NC and to the beach.

I've never been to Gatlinburg. I don't know why. Always wanted to check that area out.

Off to Denver Saturday then Breckenridge during the week.

Detroit over MDW for a festival



That's it so far. I'd like to do something with a beach setting. I'm also throwing around the idea of a solo Euro trip in late summer or early fall. Possibly Sweden for this festival called Into the Valley, looks really fkin cool.

Was just in New Orleans over the weekend. Always a fun time.

I have about 9,000 weddings this year so those destinations (Columbus, cinci, Orlando) will be my vaca's this year.

Hoping to go to Chicago for Open Air festival the weekend of July 15th-17th, but I am not 100% sure yet since I will go to RotR in May.

My fiance, brother, SIL and I have started taking a baseball trip every year. We've done Chicago and Boston, but we are just going to Detroit this year. We're going to see a game, and then head up to Traverse City for a day or two. I want to do the Paddle for Pints Brewery crawl while we are there.

Getting married on 9/24, and we are heading to the mountains of either TN or NC for our honeymoon the following Monday. His family wants to go to Europe early summer 2017 to celebrate his Mom's 60th birthday, so we are keeping the honeymoon close/cheap in order to save for that.

My girlfriends and I are also discussing a lady boo cruise in early 2017.

We have three weddings this year, so most of our vacations will be around those. My wife's friend is getting married in New Orleans in June. I convinced my best friend (who's getting married in September) to have his bachelor party in New Orleans on the same weekend as my wife's friend's wedding. So we'll have a wedding on Friday, bachelor party on Saturday, and then end the summer in Akron for my best friend's wedding.

Other than that, I'm heading to Outer Banks with my wife's family at the end of next month. It's too cold to get in the water, so I'm not sure what we're going to be doing.

If you go, do what we did. We got an air bnb in the French quarter. It was walking distance to bourbon and the downtown area, and we slept a lot more comfortable than a hotel stay.

Outer Banks Brewing is a really nice place. Check it out.

New Orleans is a cesspool but you can find some damn good cuisine there.

Where are you going in the Netherlands? When I was dating my wife she studied in Emmen so I went to Amsterdam twice. It was a nice city but I don't smoke weed and I obviously wasn't getting a hooker so I kinda felt like I was missing out on the main reasons for going. Lol

Yea, bought the Eurail pass. Flying into Paris then all trains. 2 night trains. My 50+ parents are paying for some, so if they can deal with all the walking and travel, so can I. Pretty pumped, haven't been to Europe in awhile, and last time was Ireland/ Scotland so didn't even make it to main land.
