*Sigh* There is nothing on calendar. We take hiatus from traveling during most of the summer. At least, it's a good time to stay at home and enjoy fun in the sun & lazy days by the pool. I hope to sneak something in after WSOP and before football ramps up. I hear Portland calling... and with any luck, cheap airfare will sway me somewhere fun.

 

At least you've already had some nice travel this year ;-) Summer just isn't "travel season" for everyone!

 

Hoya, you could take the joy out of wrapping Christmas presents. lol

 

What are those?

 

If June 3rd counts as summer, then Vegas.

After that, nothing until Thanksgiving. Having a home built and need to save a few bucks. It is supposed to be ready mid-September. Not that hopeful, with the weather delays it looks like we are already almost a month behind schedule.

 

Good luck with the build, Joe. How long you gonna stay in this one?!?

 

This will be #12 and hopefully we are done counting. We're making progress. We have lived in this one for 5+ years. Although, we have been looking for the last two years and just can't find what we want, in the area we wanted. So, first time ever, we are building.

 

It will be Vegas in June & July, Reno and Vegas again in August.

 

Lol, same here. Vegas June then in August. Can't seem to get away from Vegas. I guess I enjoy the energy people bring to Vegas...traditional vacations are too relaxed for me. In Vegas, everyone has one thing in mind: fun

 

So far, so good. Framing is in progress and all the exterior decisions, plumbing, cabinets, countertops, carpeting and flooring decisions have been made. Next up interior doors and trim, but so far, none of the horror stories we have heard about when building. Wish us luck!

 

I've not hung out with a lot of people in Hawaii who had not having fun in mind.

 

That was one of our favorite driving trips with our daughters (we didn't do the Billy the Kid grave part though).
Your 9 year old grandson will love the train ride in Durango (if you stand outside, you will get plenty of coal soot on your face - kids loved that)
The Anasazi Cliff Dwellings are something to behold. Be ready to crawl through some very narrow passages and the ladder climbs are a bit scary - not for the kids - but for the adults - lol!

If your schedule permits, a really nice place to visit is:
Pagosa Springs, Colorado (about 35 miles north of the NM border) has some great fishing and is known for its sulfur springs, including the world's deepest geothermal hot spring - celebrated for its therapeutic and healing powers.

Hope y'all have a wonderful trip!

 

OK - where do I sign up?

 

last week of August and im at the Vdera till 3 Sept. I so need this!!
