Who is going where? Where do you want to go?

gob · Dec 12, 2018

I'm planning on going to Belgium in the fall. Maybe Amsterdam if I have time.

Other than that, probably to NC to visit my brother, at least one trip to Chicago, and I would like to do a hiking trip somewhere. Someone was talking up the "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania" the other day.

My plans are to continue visiting the national parks out west, this time, Yosemite and Death Valley, hopefully in late spring before the falls dry up.

I have a collection of stickers and magnets from national parks I have visited. I wouldn't mind crossing off a few more this year.

Also, I want to go to Banff

I'm doing a 2nd round the world trip starting in Feb.

Fiji

Solomon Islands

Australia (just overnighting this time)

Indonesia ( Alami Alor, Komodo, Bali)

UAE, possibly side trip to Oman

Egypt, pyramids, Nile cruise Luxor to Aswan and back, Marsa Alam, Sharm El Sheikh

Hoping side trips to Petra and Israel

Rome

London

Was to include Greece but daughter scheduled her vacation such that I have to get home since we share underwater photography equipment, the swine!

Wow, now that’s a vacation!

So far, the only thing on the books is another trip to Jordan to see my wife's family and take care of some family things there.

This year I did Singapore, Raja Ampat Indonesia, 3 weeks in Philippines, 2 weeks in Maldives, Dubai, Egypt, London and Iceland.

Then daughter and I flew to Australia for 3 weeks later in the year.

I like to travel and like to snorkel. Notice they are almost all water based.

Diving Tider · Dec 13, 2018

Looking forward to seeing Grand Cayman for the first time in a decade. Getting to dive it this time around though!

Almost bought some tickets to Iceland for about $300.

Still haven't talked myself out of it, but it wouldn't be a wise decision if I end up buying a place this winter/spring.

But I'm not wise.

Looks like @legalizequack is in Ireland

legalizequack · Dec 16, 2018

From today until the 20th I am in Istanbul, Turkey. Going to either Romania or Ukraine afterwards and then Ireland and Scotland until the 2nd!

We're kinda homebodies, this yr we splurged and went to Paris...fortunately our timing was great...the last month or two...not so great.

2019...the Alaskan Cruise keeps coming up. I know cruises are popular, but I'm not really a cruise person. I'm interested for the photography and the Alaskan seafood.

The guy trip.

We're not buttoned down yet with a head count, and reservations, but this is fast becoming a bucket list type trip...golf, and a whale watching excursion. The exchange rate makes this pretty reasonable for what you get.

I've never been on a cruise. I've heard great things about Alaskan cruises though.

I've never been either...I typically like getting to a destination, spending few or several days there soaking up the local flavor. A cruise is almost more about the ship and the activities/food/etc as it is the ports of call. My inlaws have literally cruised the world over the last 20 yrs and never spent more than a day and half in any of their stops.

The one I'm looking at, you can go on a fishing excursion...I'm not a huge fisherman, but I like the challenge of catching a big Halibut...my boss, his day was on one earlier this yr and caught one...a little over 5' long close to 115 lbs...got A LOT of filets off that catch. Got it processed and shipped home on dry ice.

Yeah, I like chilling in new places.
