Fall vacation planning

Yep, Bend in September. But watch the closing time on the new Mt. Bachelor mtb park; there's plenty of single-track over there.

In-season travel sucks. NO. THANK. YOU. We have the ability not to have to do it and it rocks. Now my upcoming Bend trip is in season, but we rented private -- cheaper than even a shitty hotel -- and we're playing golf, and that's not exactly turista. For a getaway? Apres-Labor Day, s'il vous plait. And if we push back into early October it really opens up some other great places, like the Colorado Plateau being discussed on that other thread.

 

San Antonio and Savannah-Charleston entered the frame last night.

 

It's so hard to make up your mind when there are SO MANY PLACES in the world!!!

(I've been online looking at noodle & dumpling tours in Shanghai

 

I was thinking of doing a last minute trip to these places as well. Leaning towards Charleston right now...

Not a local restaurant but Din Tai Fung is good. They have restaurants across Asia and the US (mainly the West Coast).

 

We're really torn between a road trip-type excursion -- and we've mapped out trips through Utah, Montana and BC/AB -- or immersion. We'd even hop a plane to the Southern Hemisphere if the right price somewhere cool pops up.

 

and the decision is made. Back to England for two weeks. Looking at side trips now as the middle of the trip will be a wedding.
Fly to Amsterdam - day tour there and train to paris for a couple of days is looking good right now. Take some Danish relatives around southern England and a day trip to London to hit some of our hot spots there. a few visits to friends should round it out. plus relatives. Not much time to relax.. 100 acre wood trip is a must...

 

It's been a few years now but we really enjoyed San Antonio. I said if we ever make it back, we are staying at the hotel that is right on the Riverwalk.

 

Looks like Utah has gone bye bye. Vancouver-Whistler, Yellowstone-Grand Teton and the Canadian Rockies are the leading candidates. But if some super-good airfare to Iceland or Lima or wherever pops up ...

 

Good fares to Cusco today from LAX.

If you need tips on Whistler let me know...

 

Thanks on both accounts.

 

Tickets just purchased for Shanghai in September 3 days of work for me, a week of vacation with my husband. I still can't believe I convinced him to fly over with me!
