Buffy Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 So, how far are you all going on your summer vacation this year? Folks in the southern hemisphere can prognosticate into December or tell us where you went last January.... If you're going twice, pick the farthest distance, and if you feel like it, tell us all where you're going and what form of conveyance you're using! Wanderlust,Buffy Quote
Mercedes Benzene Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 The farthest I'll travel this summer will most likely be California... since the State Dept. isn't being very cooperative with the whole passport situation.We'll travel by airplane of course, and we'll most likely stay in Carmel, and perhaps travel north for a day or two to LA. Besides Cali, I'll also be in WV for running camp, and then it's off to NC for the Outerbanks. Finally, I'll make a short trip to Connecticut, but California wins the distance challenge. :phones: Quote

Mercedes Benzene Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 You've got to stop using those Australian maps, MB: they're *so* confusing! Pico and Sepulveda, Buffy :phones::hihi:Very true. My mistake. I admit I don't know very much about the place... other than when I was a little kid I went to a lantern festival and ate at an amazing restaurant where I had the most magnificant creme brulee. My mouth is watering. Quote
InfiniteNow Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 What's this strange word/concept you used? Vay Cay shun... Hmmm. Not familiar with that. ;) :cup: :phones: :boy_hug: :cup: :boy_hug::boy_hug: :ip: Quote
Buffy Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Posted July 16, 2007 What's this strange word/concept you used? Vay Cay shun... Hmmm. Not familiar with that. :phones: Understandably. Unfamiliarity with the word is due to one of two things:You speak English, in which case the proper term is "on Holiday"You speak American, in which case you are unfamiliar with it because you only get one week a year and the boss makes you use it to go to conferences to use up/protect your "training budget." Sorry for the confusion on using such obscure terminology... Executive with 4 weeks vacation, :cup:Buffy Quote

Sorry for the confusion on using such obscure terminology... Executive with 4 weeks vacation, :phones:Oh! That. Why yes. I have a *vacation* in Dallas to learn some new modules, a *vacation* in Philadelphia to learn support tools, and another *vacation* in Toronto to pick up on data cube reporting fundamentals. ;) I too have four weeks. Not likely I'll use them this year, thassall. :cup: Quote
Tormod Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 I have driven about 1000 kilometers so far, will probably hit 2000 by the end of the vacation. And yes, I have a *real* vacation, completely free from conventions and courses. So I chose to spend it with a backache and a penicillin cure for a throat infection instead. Yay! Quote
Monomer Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 I'm not one for travelling, and I've never really had a summer vacation. All I want to do during my annual leave is to sleep in, lounge around, spend time in the garden - relax, relax, relax. I'm happy enough to not have to go to work! I think the furthest I'll go during my holidays, which I have to wait five months for, will be Mum's house for christmas (about 33km from my house). I've recently taken up painting, so I'll probably visit a few nice spots to take some pictures of scenes I'd like to paint. Quote
DougF Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 I have three weeks. Not likely I'll use them this year for a real vacation, I usually break up and make long weekends out of it.and spend my time working around the house or on my cars/trucks. Quote
Hill Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 We went to Washington, DC for 4th of July week. It's been a long time since I was there and my wife's never been. Not nearly enough time, but it was great. There was that tornado warning when everyone had to get off the Mall, but by nightfall weather calmed down again and the fireworks were great. I guess going via stopover at DFW made it an over 3000 mi. journey. Quote
