What do you have planned for next year. We haven’t planned anything except a trip to Chicago for my wife to run the marathon there. We are trying to decide on where to go so let’s hear everyone else’s plans.

Hawaii in March. Kauai.

Honestly not looking forward to the flights, but the week on the island should be cool.

I probably said this on the last vacation thread and never followed through. My only brother and his 3 kids moved to Italy in July of 24, so I need to get my ass over there (Army). Question will be when and if we drop the cash on our 2 kids as well. That would probably be the only vacation other than my wife flying to Ohio with the 2 girls and me getting my own little staycation. Disney is on the horizon once tall enough.

Ive want to go to Hawaii for a long time. The flights always scared me but after going to Greece last year and doing that flight I know I can do it. My biggest advice is the first day whatever you do, do not nap. Force yourself to go stay up and go to sleep around when you would at home or even later.

I've already been once (2015) and hated everything about the trip there and back.

Planes are my happy place. You all are crazy! Though I would pay for the extra legroom if you can’t get first/business.

We have Charleston in March. Sedona in June. Tampa in March I think or maybe February. 

Not a vacation, but I have Masters in April.

We have 3 kids that are all four and under right now (4, 3, 9 mos).

We did Disney this past July with them all. 

Currently, nothing is planned for 2025 except for a Vegas trip in the fall for my wife's 30th Bday and we're going/meeting a large group of funs.

Typically we have a summer trip/vacation. Usually it's planned around athletics as my wife is and Athletic Director and I am a basketball coach.

Aiming for Europe for a month around June-July. Spain, Portugal and maybe add another city like Amsterdam or London. All depends on the in/out flights.

I would recommend Greece to anyone we went to Athens Paros and Milos. All of them were fun and beautiful. If you do the islands though rent an ATV our friend managed to wreck his rental car on each of the two islands.

I went to that exact day this year. IMO it is the best. The crowds are perfect, you get to see a bunch of legends, the merch hasn't sold out. I could go on on and on.

was planning a havasu boating/ATV trip for my 40th and then a beach trip for the family vacation/wife's 40th, but the wife just finish chemo and her van just blew up and we got a new one so we've exhausted all the fun money dealing with that crap. so might not have enough saved up to cover the big trips. might end up doing something a little more lowkey. time will tell.

The Tuesday at Augusta is the only day you would ever realistically get to see things like Tiger and Gary Player playing a round together.

At Muirfield….whatever year Tiger first played. We were at the Wednesday practice round and teeing off #10 was Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Lee Trevino and Jack Nicklaus. We watched them tee off (it was early like 8:30) and they walked right passed us. Very few spectators were on the course.

I would pay a ridiculous amount of money to have witnessed that.

I've been for work (rather not even go) and I've been to the Saturday in 2019 (INCREDIBLE). But I am very much looking forward to the practice round and being able to take my phone in for pictures.

It was a 5 min thing but it was very special to me the avid golf fan since the early 80’s….those were the 4 biggest names then and pretty much still in 1999? 2000? I forget the year but the original Tiger crowd, I won’t ever forget that
