Vacations
 

Going to be gone for the next few days. I'm going camping near one of those lazy river type deals.

Where do you guys like to go on vacation?

I know the feeling. Texas has one beach that I'm close to: Galveston. It's pretty disgusting and feels like a really big swamp instead of an ocean. I've visited the gulf in Florida a couple of times and it's pretty nice. The Atlantic side is far better though :D

Oh for sure, the waves on the gulf are lame.. when I'm in the water in NC I get the shit kicked out of me.

what do you mean by vacation, a holiday in your own country, or a holiday to a forign country?

I don't go on vacation much.

But I'm pretty sure I could never hate Disney World.

Either works fine...

I've actually never been out of the U.S... not even to Mexico or Canada.

i had never been out of europe before june :O
i went to China, loved it so much i would stay there :love:

Where did you go? Hong Kong? I'd live there but mainland China scares me a bit - lol.

yeah i was quite intimidated by the huge population at first cos i though i would have no room to move :P
but it was fine it was just as crowded as a normal day walkin through a shopping centre!
nah was mostly Beijing :D was amazing, was one of those places with all the tall buildings but it still has beautiful scenery :D
i visited xian for 2 days aswell to see the terracotta warriers, then back to Beijing :)
best holiday i had been on :)

I've only travelled round Europe so far but I really want to go backpacking in Singapore and Malaysia next Summer.
My favourite place I've ever travelled to is Thessaloniki in Greece, beautiful part of the world and very peaceful. I enjoy any holiday that involves moving about a country seeing a few different cities and hopefully a few outdoor activities - i.e kayaking, abseiling etc.

Well right now I'm 'holidaying' in New Zealand! I'm a little bored though... the friend I'm staying with works full-time and I promised I'd wait for my boyfriend to get here before I do any cool sight-seeing.

Although the culture is pretty much exactly the same as Australia, the landscape and climate are completely different. I love the cold weather, I got to see real snow, and almost everybody you meet was a LOTR film extra! :laughing: It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, I want to live here.

Any New Zealand MBers want to adopt me?

Lazy River where?



MY Beach is pretty awesome=]
SOuth Padre Island is always BUmpin!
when i get all stressed out , i tell my kiddos to jump in the van and we head out to POrt Isabel for the weekend.

Jacuzzi Suite, seaside, with a cooler full of Brews, Some Bud , MUsic and a BEach CHair.

Fabulous.

Anyways, i havent had a vacation in a while.:(

i would like to visit ibiza one year, maybe next year :love:
its my kind of place i imagine, trance, hardcore & techno everywhere.
only thing is im not an exstasy user, or any other drug.
but i would still enjoy myself :D

Amsterdam was a great couple days.
Romania is a good one if you know where to go.
I'd say no to anything in Germany except maybe Berlin. Or if you're into old castles you can travel all along the Rhine and visit some proper relics. That's always a good time.

I want to go to Amsterdam pretty badly.

my SCHOOL went to amsterdam last year. i didnt know about the trip so i never went.
but yeah amsterdam would be amazing, i forgot all about there :laughing:

Up in the mountains. It's actually spring fed so it's nice and cool year 'round. I'm back home now, though.

I'm considering moving there.

I've now taken 2 trips to Las Vegas in back-to-back years, and I think it's a great place to unwind for 3-4 days.

My favorite vacation is a drive up North to stay in a cabin resort in the forest. Been going for about 15+ years now... it's really hard to describe to others how jumping off rocks into water, fishing, ping pong, pool, and drinking at a bar is all that special- but it really is. I will go to this place each year for the rest of my life, if I can.

Finally- my real fascination right now is South America... I'm currently planning my 4 week trip to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.

would be ****ing extortionate in Vegas. still would be amazing to go to :D

Vegas=giant shopping mall

giant shopping center = no money :(

My friends and I are thinking of traveling this February, between the two semesters. It's between London and Amsterdam.

I just got back from the river a couple of days ago. Now i'm going on a road trip to Atlanta with some friends. May not post fr a few days. Coke Musuem here I come!

This summer i went to Egypt and Sweden. Loved both my trips.

I have to agree with janszoon on vegas being a giant mall,but dont forget its also a money pit.Thats if you have money to begin with haha.You gotta love the buffets tho,freekin food everywhere.I really never gambled,I went to SEMA and stuff like that.

Id like to visit Brazil when theyre throwing one of their famous carnavales. I go to mexico a lot,thats about it.

In this order;
1. Amsterdam
2. Amsterdam

it depends on which kind of holiday your looking for, amsterdam if your looking to mostly drink take drugs and pretty much party. london for well tourist aspects. i LOVE london :love:

In terms of US trips, I've never been west of Minnesota. However, I have traveled a lot out east, I've been to Philly, Burlington, Cleveland, and New Brunswick. Never been to NYC and I probably never will, I just have no interest in going there.

In terms of international travel, I've been to just about every central Mexican state there is, but not by flying. I've been on 18, 16, and several 12 hour car trips in Mexico and have visited Oaxaca and Quintana Roo a few times as well. Technically I've been to Canada once, but I only spent 7 hours in Montreal for my birthday this year. Never been overseas either.

I'm really hoping to go to Spain next year. I've wanted to go there forever and unfortunately so far my only experience in Spain has been a bus ride from the Barcelona airport to my cruise ship. I have a friend that moved to Valencia not too long ago so I have a place to stay.

Spains gorgeous from what I remember, I went to Salou. I was really young though, all I can remember was it was really sunny and pretty. Plus I got an awesome tan :D
Valencia actually looks amazing to go to. I hope you enjoy it! Long flight is it not though?

Blatant Fall plug :D ...

It's not too bad really. Maybe about six hours or so. Last time I flew there we had to switch planes in Paris which added quite a bit to the trip but I don't think it's too bad of a flight if you fly direct.

Haha. Nice. I don't own a car and I'm turning 33 next year so pretty close I must say. :D

Um, Ibiza clubs closed in September... you do know that right?

They were just spamming to reach 15 posts. More inventive spam than usual i must admit (in other threads i might add), but spam nonetheless.

Well I hope he has a good time clubbing in empty, closed Ibiza :D

I'm going here next month for snowboarding!
