July 16-23

I'll be driving with a friend from Boston to Chesapeake VA from the 16-20. I'll be in Washington, DC from the 20-23rd. hit me up if you're around either of those areas.

In bigger news, I will be staying with a good friend in Los Angeles (she lives in Playa Del Rey) from Wed night Aug 3rd to Wed morning Aug 10th.

I am 100% all about meeting PI peeps on either of those trips if y'all are avaiable. PM me or email me @ mszebra@gmail.com.


Anyways. Are you guys going anywhere good this summer?

I have no trips planned whatsoever.

Boring.

I did go to Singapore in April though.

I haven't really thought much past July 9th. Don't know how much money, work, etc I'll have past that and if or when I'll go on holiday. Would like to do one short trip (2 weeks, maybe a month) to Sudan before the end of the year though.

my budget is too tight right now to afford any proper vacation in the near future.  Also, part of having a spouse from a different country means any free travel budget usually needs to be spent visiting their family.  I enjoy that too, but I haven't had a warm beach holiday in over half a decade.

There are beaches in England! And it's warm if you wear a couple of jumpers.

haha!  I couldn't believe the amount of surfers still hitting the beaches in Devon in January.  It was freezing!

I wouldn't really consider it a vacation but we're spending one night in a fancy Seattle hotel next week

There was a plan earlier to drive up north to Fort Vermillion, Alberta.  My mother-in-law was adopted, and recently found her birth family, which means my wife now has a new grandma and a whole slew of new aunts, uncles, and cousins that we'd all like to meet.  However, the person we were going to stay with had their house burn down, and the only hotel in town is one of those places that'll give you syphillis just by walking within a one-block radius of the thing.  So, that's going on hold for at least another year while the family up there rebuilds.

So instead we're probably going to Winnipeg for a week in early August.  My sister-in-law is out there, as are a couple friends of the wife.

All of the vacation time this year was used up by having a baby and him having surgery. Damn greedy kids. We're making up for it next year by meeting my mom down in florida to see her family and making the all mighty disney world trek.

In all probability I won't be in a different country when you're in the UK this time, let me know when you're around.

Not a lot of going happening here, either.  The Beloved finally got his dad to come out and visit, so we'll be doing a stay-at-home-ish vacation and hitting all the local tourist traps that I've rarely bothered with as a native.  I really hope that if/when he does move forward with this whole "getting out of landscaping" thing that our schedules will be more compatible.  Both of our jobs have roughly three months of annual downtime, but they're at opposite times of year right now  :hmm:  Makes vacations difficult.

We did just come home from my cousin's 10th anniversary/vow renewal/late wedding shindig up in Dryden, NY though.  It's ALWAYS great to see them, and they live in such a beautiful area that even with all the travel and scheduling and whatever else, it was a pretty relaxing weekend.

We are SO moving up there someday.  DO WANT.

My wife and I went to Brisbane/Sunshine Coast for about 3 weeks in May to visit her sister.  It was pretty cool.
