Summer Vacations.

[achiro]

Anyone have any big plans?

[mrowl]

first I have to start the spring vacation...

[Sooner in Tampa]

Right now, my big plans are just to MAKE it to summer.

[Howzit]

Alaska.

Only it's with the in-laws, which means Mr's Howzit and I will have to go back to do a lot of the stuff we wanted to and didn't get to.

[GDC]

A month or two in Europe, try to see some of the places I missed on previous trips.

[Okieflyer]

Winterpark and Rocky Mountain National Park! :D

[Okieflyer]

Winterpark and Rocky Mountain National Park! :D

Since my knee surgery, I don't ski.

So this is the best time of year to go if you don't ski.:)

[Harry Beanbag]

What's a vacation?

[Howzit]

Winterpark and Rocky Mountain National Park!

We went to RMNP last summer, and it was the best vacation we've taken in years. What a beautiful area.

Did you have fun driving over Trail Ridge Road?

That's a white knuckler particularly in snow and sleet with a herd of elk jumping out in front of you in mid July......:eek:

[Howzit]

Did you have fun driving over Trail Ridge Road?

It was very cool, but no way I would want to drive it in inclimate weather. I thought Mrs Howzit and junior were going to get sick a couple of times.

[Howzit]

Actually, looking at a map, I am thinking of Old Fall River Road. Is Trail Ridge the main paved road descending from about 12k ft? We took mountain bike trip where they carted us up and we road down. THAT was cool...

[ChickSoonerFan]

I wanna go on vacation this summer.

Somewhere warm, a beach, one of those cool places that has a hut on the beach and an outside shower and hardly any people around and a personal cabana boy to bring drinks.

And satilite T.V. but no phones, pagers, email.

And I want someone to go with.

<sigh>

[IB4OU2]

Yea, Trail Ridge is the main paved road. Those roads are only open from early June to late August. We go up there and stay at the Lemon Lodge in Grand Lake. It's a great place.........

[Beef]

My office. All summer.

If that's what you're looking for, don't go to Hawaii :D

[proud gonzo]

my summer will be spent writing, teaching horn lessons, painting, helping my parents move, and hopefully spending a few weeks in new jersey with my grandma. and probably going into NYC for a day or two

hornfans.com after a loss.

[mdklatt]

My family is planning a trip to Branson. I don't know if I should be excited or not. At least it's a lot shorter drive than New York or Minnesota.

[OklahomaTuba]

How is Jamaica?

I would love to go back to the caribbean this summer.

[GDC]

My family is planning a trip to Branson.

I'm sorry to hear that. Last time I went I was outvoted, as I wanted Memphis/Tunica.

[TUSooner]

Stay home; you'd hate it. I hear it's full of commie pot-heads, Rastafarians, and other assorted liberal non-baptist, non-Republican free-thinking types.
YWIA.

[TUSooner]

We plan, God willing, to visit relatives (and alternately to avoid same) in England and France in July. It would be our first trip to anywhere lately for some purpose other than to watch a kid play soccer or softball (or to escape a hurricane).

Go trout fishing in Taneycomo........sure the hell beats goin' to the "Shows".

Commie free thinkers? There is such a thing??

I might actually pay money to see that!

[mdklatt]

I'm sorry to hear that. Last time I went I was outvoted, as I wanted Memphis/Tunica.

What's Tunica? :confused:

[TUSooner]

Commie free thinkers? There is such a thing??

You're right; they are about as rare as Republican free-thinkers these days.

[mdklatt]

I'm not really into fishing. Is there any sailing going on nearby?

[Harry Beanbag]

What's Tunica? :confused:


About half an hour south of Memphis in Mississississippi.

[IB4OU2]

Sailing opportunities would be on Tablerock Lake just west of Branson.

[sanantoniosooner]

We've went to Florida the last two years.

I wan't to stay close enough to drive this time. I'm up for suggestions. Maybe Colorado or New Mexico. I've got to get some ideas soon.

[Stanley1]

I dunno yet.

[GrapevineSooner]

No summer vacation.

But I am planning on taking four days in March to drive up to Hot Springs Village to see my Dad.

And to possibly run into HSV. ;)

I've heard San Antonio is a pretty cool place to visit. Check out the river walk and the Alamo while you're there.

;)

If any post ever deserved a neg from me it was this one.;)

3 vacations in 16 years of marriage. We need to get away.

[soonerscuba]

Germany... while I hate Germany (sorry Kaiser) there is a little sporting event that I will be in attendance. A life dream is going to come true for me.

[SoonerInKCMO]

World Bowl XIV in Dusseldorf? :confused:

[Penguin]

I haven't even thought about it yet. Vegas, maybe?

[mdklatt]

Oh. I have a toilet, so I don't need to travel anywhere to dispose of my cash. :D

I'll be around, may have to scramble for tickets.

be prepped to pony it up dude, I was shocked how much I paid for a ticket, but I get to see the US/Czech match.

Should I try to get a ticket now or wait until I get over there this summer?

[soonerscuba]

This I am not sure of. People say you can get tickets, but with the dollar so weak I'm not sure I would want to pay on the street with Euros. I paid $400 for 1st round tickets. For ****s and giggles I looked at Finals tickets, the cheapest you can find will be about $2000, and if a European team makes it to the Final, I would guess $5000 to impossible.

The trip will be fun no matter what, but if you are set on seeing some fagball I would recommend an advance purchase.

Hmm, I'll be operating out of Heidleberg so I better start checking it out. Thanks.

On the same trip? :eek:

[Soonrboy]

New York for a graduation in June, going by Niagara falls..over to NYC to see the touristy stuff, down to DC to see the touristy stuff...to Philadephia to see the touristy stuff, back home...

[AustinTXHorn]

On the same trip? :eek:
1 week in between. :texan:

[Blue]

Our company trip is Cancun in March. I wish we could've gone to another island because I've been to Cozumel, but I'm not turning down Mexico and 40,000 almost naked co-ed bikinis on Spring Break.

[IB4OU2]

The wife says she wants to go to the Grand Canyon this summer, so I guess were going there.

[proud gonzo]

i've been wanting to go there since i was a little kid. my parents promised to take me. I still haven't ever been there :(

I would highly recommend Abaco. I would say to stay in Marsh Harbour and take the day ferry over to Treasure Cay (pronounced key). There is a seven mile beach with only one structure on it (a bar/restaurant). When we were there there were about 20 people on the whole beach.

I can't help you with someone to go with you. The wife might frown on it ;)

That sounds and looks perfect! Asolutely perfect.

And I completely understand about the wife thing...I will work on that part on my own ;)

[PhxSooner]

You can go with us, we'll sing showtunes on the way.....:D
And then you can come visit us in the great city of Phoenix...where it will be hot.
We're taking the kids to Disneyland. It's becoming a yearly thing for us. The kids really have a blast, and I don't have to make beds or cook for five days. :D

[Okla-homey]

three words...

Silver Dollar City. Its like Vegas but with Jerry Falwell in charge.

yeeeeee-haw!

[OklahomaTrombone]

I've flown over the GC....I've seen better

[Okla-homey]

Or maybe I'll go visit TUSooner in Chocolapolis.

[Melo]

I'll one of two thing, both options are open to me:

I could stay home, get a summer job, and bust my hiney to make enough money to keep paying for college. OR I want to go up to Interlochen and be a counselor. Interlochen is um... a summer music learning oppurtunity :O. Hmm, band camp, except for the entire summer. Its up in Michigan, so I would get to be away from the Texas summer hea, I'd make a little bit of money working as a counselor, I'd get to be in charge of some kids, and I can take some classes. I could get some music theory out of the way, which would put me way ahead once I got back to school here. And plus my daddy went to Interlochen as a counselor, and he always talks about how much fun he had, so it would be neat to get to experience what he did.

Havent really made up my mind, though. Interlochen would be fun, but it still would put me in a tight place money wise.

[proud gonzo]

Interlochen, aka Camp Elitistbastard :D

[Melo]

Interlochen, aka Camp Elitistbastard :D

Haha. Yea, well. I think it would be fun... at least an interesting experience.

How about doing something for yourself. I'd recommend the camp. You need to get away from, "following the crowd." I mean c'mon. A dye job, tramp stamp, and the fellas making you think hooking up w/ a chick is hot in your first semester.

You need to get away...

BTW, I don't know you, but you seemed a tad bit smarter before you left the farm...no offense.

[proud gonzo]

Haha. Yea, well. I think it would be fun... at least an interesting experience.

If you like sleeping in cabins and wearing corduroy and polo shirts.
(Iggy was a counselor there)

WHOA!

I do NOT have a tramp stamp, thanks. And I have not "hooked up" with any chick. And as for dying my hair, well, I'm a girl, and I am allowed to change my look when I feel like it. To be honest, the entire plan was to bleach it so I could dye it red and be wierd. I just thought it was funny for me to have blonde hair.

I feel like I HAVE become "dumber" in some ways, but I dont think it's that big of a deal. I'm not doing drugs, not sleeping around, and I'm making good grades in my classes. I don't feel like I am doing anything wrong.

Second of all, getting a job WOULD BE for ME. My parents are helping me all they can with paying for school, but if I dont go the rest of the way, who else is going to? It would be a WHOLE lot easier to go have fun and not worry about money, but that wouldnt be very smart, would it? I dont know how they work it out with counselors, but I know just attending the camp, I would be paying more for two months there then I would a whole semester at College.

[Blue]

Fair enough. I guess I'm getting old. Just remember, the "coolest" thing isn't always the "best" thing.

You seem fairly smart and you should broaden your horizons. Working at Sonic and hanging out at the bowling alley aint gonna do that. ;)

[afs]

not Korea for the 1st time in 2 years

[bigdsooner]

no summer vacation, goin to vegas in september or october

[Blue]

I'm not doing drugs, not sleeping around, and I'm making good grades in my classes. I don't feel like I am doing anything wrong.



Btw, you're ahead of 90% of us. Good job.

As far as tuition, tell your parents to sell a couple horses. i love horse meat. ;)

[Melo]

You called me, basically, stupid, whorey and a lezbian.

I know quite well the coolest thing isnt always the right thing. I'm a band dork, Ive never been into "whats cool" to begin with.

Working at Sonic and hanging out at a bowling alley? Excuse me? Last time I checked, they pay in money, just like anywhere else.

Maybe Its just my stupidity, but I've always believed that money was money, and if you have something, like college, to pay for, then you do what you need to do to make your money. Just like if you have a family to feed. There is NOTHING wrong about working wherever you can to make money. You do what you have to do.

I am NOT following any kind of crowd, I am making sure I dont end up back at home because I couldnt pay for my schooling.

[Melo]

Btw, you're ahead of 90% of us. Good job.

I dont own any horses.

I also dont live on a farm. I live in Houston. Houston doesnt have farms.

My parents are also teachers. We can't afford horses. Or a farm.

[Blue]

Geezus. Excuse the hell out of me. I must have been on acid the last time I saw "your" pic w/ "your" horse.

I will now back out of this bs. I shouldn't have stuck my nose were it didn't belong. Carry on with your "noble" experience.

[Melo]

Huh? I had a picture with a horse, and that means I live on a farm?

I honestly wasnt trying to be rude, but I hear the same things you told me, and I hear them a lot. Just because I'm 18 doesn't mean I'm an idiot, and I make all the wrong choices. Truly, sorry to be defensive. But think how you would feel if you were constantly being told you were making wrong choices. In HS, I did everything RIGHT, and I know I did. I never did anything that could be considered even remotely wrong. In college, I've stepped outside of those barriers, and I've seen how far I can take things.

Lets just say I did everything I felt like doing growing up. It took many painful experiences to gain the discipline you seem to already posess to start making positive strides.

Don't listen to me please. This is just a message board. I'm out of line. You're very smart and keep making decisions for yourself.

I think I need counseling now...:D

[PhxSooner]

If, financially, camp would hurt your chances of staying in school uninterrupted, then stay at home and make more money. Otherwise, do what you want!

An ex-boyfriend spent two summers at Aspen's music camp as a student. It was mega $$$.

[BoogercountySooner]

The wife says she wants to go to the Grand Canyon this summer, so I guess were going there.

Cool Mom mentioned wanting to go there again!;)

[BoogercountySooner]

If the wife and I can get settled in our new house fast enough we mat go to Italy. My Inlaws run a cooking tour there. I would go to visit not to cook. They are all big Sooner fans! Follow the link.

[GDC]

I think you're all ****ed in the head. We're ten hours from the ****ing fun park and you want to bail out. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much ****ing fun we'll need plastic surgeory to remove our godamn smiles. You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of you're *******s! I gotta be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose! Holy ****!

[sanantoniosooner]

It makes me sad to see this thread. Booger lost his wife tragically very recently. Right before another vacation overseas.

[SoonersEnFuego]

At the end of August, we're going to a bachelor/bachelorette party at Hilton Head Beach. The guys and I are going to play golf at Harbor Town. Should be a blast.

Yes, it's true. Jeff lost Lisa in a head-on collision in early June...I've not posted this much anywhere. They were scheduled to take their17 day europeon vacation the week of the accident.
