So, where are you all going this summer?

Tomorrow I am leaving for a week-long trip to Egypt, with my girlfriend, our son, my mother, my sister and my oldest niece. I am really excited about it. We will be staying in Sharm el Sheikh. We will probably be going on some trips when there. I am hoping we can get on one of those boats that have glass floors, so you can watch the marine life and we'll probably be doing some diving too. Other than that, just pure relaxation and no chores for a full seven days. Should be good.

Please share your thoughts on where you'll be going and maybe what you'll be doing.

staying fairly local this summer.  just an extended weekend in NH camping.  Spent some time in Rockport Mass a month ago.  thought it was really funny when watching the movie the Proposal and realizing I stayed in the spot where they filmed the Alaskan town scenes.

Working more than I thought, (we're short-handed ... again), rebuilding my back deck during "off" hours, hoping to go back to Haiti for a week in August, then to Ecuador to see my South American "Sister", (AFS), and with any luck, hitting the links a time-or-two, doing a little fishing, (locally), and playing some hoops. Yee-ha!

Have a great trip, ACF, (you deserve it), and best wishes to everyone else!

I have my last weekend of classes in lovely Fall River this weekend!  20 months, one weekend a month..ALL DONE!

I guess that's as close as I get to a holiday.  Although every seems to like to come where I live for their holidays, so perhaps I'll try to enjoy it here a bit.  If the sharks don't get me!
Yup

Great for you, ACF. It's not that far from Eilat - a great tourist city of ours. If you have a chance to check it out, you won't regret it.

I don't have solid plans yet but I was thinking going to Greece - Kos or Rhodes maybe.

Let's see...

San Diego for Comic Con (Perk of working for a toy company)

Pittsburg for a wedding

New Orleans because I have never been there. It will be off season there I think and the oil spill is driving away tourism. Oh well! I have fun everywhere.

Have a good time! :D
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift...

We will go green.

I like it  :)

I'll get back with a few details on how things were later.
