a lot of vacation threads going on right now. I figured i'd start a general one so you can post stuff here

in 6 weeks i'm going to london

i'll stay there for about a week, so not a lot of time when you bring jet lag into the equation.

i already have a few plans set up, but any advice??

anyone else going anywhere soon?

In March I make my way to Austin for the SXSW music festival. This is my favorite party of the entire year and I can't wait!!!

In May I am going to Vegas to see the one and only true megastar, Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPiere Bono Allman Just Plain CHER in her new show at Ceasars Palace. Yes, I do believe in life after love.

Fouth of July is usually spent with my family at our parents home in Colorado.

In August I plan to spend a week in P-town -- long overdue.

I also want to go to The Woodlands and see Tom Petty play at the end of August. It's such a pretty venue and he ends his tour there and the whole thing just seems right to me.

So, those are my 2008 vacation plans.

WOOOHOOOO... I also LOVE the Woodlands, as that's where we go see Stevie and Tom when they come! If you do make it down to Texas, let me know and hopefully we can meet up!! I always love hearing people are coming to a show, so I can meet up with them! That's always SOOO much fun!!

Hugs,

Arlene

Pacific Grove, a little hamlet adjacent to Monterey on the California coast. There's a NOAA office there.

Later on, I'm heading up to Arcata/Humboldt to speak with Lori Dengler about the state of tsunami modeling on computers

The girls and I are going on a cruise to the Caribbean this year.

That's about it.

I'm going to Washington D.C on April 23rd to see a game at the Nationals new baseball stadium, then the next day I'm flying back and on friday the 25th I'm driving to St.Louis to see the Cardinals play the Astros for 2 games. Maybe some other things in the summer. We shall see. I know when I go to Washington I'm really looking forward to seeing the WW2 memorial. I havent seen that yet

I'm hoping to go to Ireland at some point this year and possibly LA later in the year too

Remember that Blanche's beau, Shep Huntleigh, invited her on a cruise of the Caribbean on a yacht.

I've only worked one week in the last 4 and I'm ready for a holiday

.

I'm heading to Buttermilk, Colorado next Thursday for a long weekend to mark a year with my woman but as her kids are coming along it may not be quite the romantic trip I had in mind

.

In the March school holidays we (and the dogs) are heading down to California. We'll spend most of the time in Santa Cruz. I don't know what I'm doing in the summer holidays yet. I am spending a few days at the motogp race in Indianapolis in July but no other plans.

I have 24 days holiday and that is supposed to last me a year. I'll have to take some sick leave - I don't know how many of those you are allowed

I am graduating in May and I really need to figure out where I want to go to celebrate. I'm thinking maybe Key West? I also want to go home to NY this summer for a visit. I'm so envious of people who can go on fabulous vacations- there is so much I want to see in this world!
