Any plans for a holiday/vacation in the near future ? Or have you been anywhere memorable either for all the right or wrong reasons ?!

Where's your favourite holiday destination really.

We're pretty boring this year, we're taking the kids to Chicago for their birthdays to visit the American Girl Doll museum.....never thought I'd be doing crap like that, but when you have a 5 and 3 year old daughter, I guess you have too....=(

I'm taking the family (5 of us) on a cruise over Christmas this year, down to Belize, Roatan, Costa Maya and Cozumel. I would have preferred simply flying to an island in the Caribbean (Turks and Caicos would be my pick) and renting a house on the beach for a week, but I was overruled!

Blu-Benny · 01-27-2012, 02:35 PM

we're taking the kids on a mini-vacation in april.

hitting the milwaukee zoo (i love the zoo) and then down to chicago to go to the shedd aquarium.

that's about it for this year though.

fatediesel · 01-27-2012, 02:35 PM

I'm going to Arizona for 5 days in March and 5 days in April. My parents have a house down there that I stay at. I went down there twice last year at around the same times as this year and will do many of the same things, a Cubs spring training game (likely versus the Mariners) in March and in April I will go to the Diamondbacks home opener versus the Giants. I'll probably play some golf as well and maybe tour the Arizona Cardinals stadium.

I'll be travelling through Spain for three weeks this spring. I'll land in Barcelona and fly out of Madrid. I'm looking forward to just walking through city streets, seeing something of Andulucia, visiting museums, and enjoying some good food and drink. I've received my guidebooks from Amazon, and will soon start my planning.

MaCruz · 01-27-2012, 04:53 PM

LeAnn is going to Miami for a few days (work related) in March, but we are planing to take a week off together in August for something unique and well overdue.

filmnut5 · 01-27-2012, 06:49 PM

Heading up to Northern Ontario for a week in the Spring to see the rest of the family and can't wait.

Want to go see the Jays on the road this summer. We've narrowed it down to 3 ballparks we've never been to before: 1. Boston 2. Baltimore 3. Minnesota.

Navster · 01-27-2012, 06:56 PM

Mini vacation in Feb spending 5 days in Vancouver, then were going to either Orlando FL, or NY in June for my 30th bday!! for at least a week! Cant wait

Bizdady · 01-27-2012, 07:44 PM

My friend is getting married in May over in Cabo, Mexico. Just started looking around now since I need to book the flight/hotel soon

There goes my new TV this year

BStecke · 01-27-2012, 09:54 PM

Just got back from NYC about a month ago, and we've got a trip planned to Vegas this July. Going with the wife a few friends. We did our honeymoon there, and have been wanting to go back.

Moviefan1203 · 01-27-2012, 10:25 PM

Wife and I are strongly considering going to Toronto for a week in June for our anniversary. If not there, probably Savannah, Georgia.

Bigdog · 01-27-2012, 10:27 PM

Heading to Orlando in another month, whole family is meeting up so it should be a killer time.

katharsis · 01-27-2012, 10:43 PM

Flying home to Germany in June / July for 3 weeks to see my parents and other family members.
Then to Ukraine for the Euro Cup with some friends in June.

Planning to go to Comic Con right after, if I can get tickets and reasonably priced hotel (last year was insanely expensive!).

Would like to see some more places in California since I just moved out here about 2 years ago and didn't have a chance to really go explore.
So probably some mini trips throughout the year.

1. MLB games (Exit off of the Gardiner Expressway at Spadina and head North for a couple of minutes to the ballpark).

2. Hockey Hall of Fame (just East of the ballpark-about a 15-20 min. walk. It's at the corner of Yonge & Front).

3. Museums (downtown, North of the ballpark)

4. A Great Zoo (Northeast end of the city)

5. Great restaurants everywhere in the city.

6. Theatre district (plays and stuff).

7. Rock n Roll Concerts (at The Molson Amphitheatre down on Lake Ontario-AWESOME venue).

This concludes your very brief tourist information session. Feel free to ask any questions. I'm your guide F-N5...have a Great day.

We went to Beaches T&C about two years ago. It was the nicest looking beach and ocean water I've ever seen, and the resort was fantastic. We've also done a few cruises and they're tons of fun as well, if you're on the right ship/itinerary for your taste.

Seeing a Jays game for me would be a MUST, perhaps two. (I'm a huge Blue Jays fan)
