Where are you guys going on Vacation?

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Where are you guys going on Vacation?

Postby Joe' on Mon Aug 06, 2007 11:11 pm

I believe I made a similar thread a year or two ago.

Anyway, just use this thread to talk about where you're going on vacation (or where you went on vacation).

I made this thread because this year I'm going to the Canary Islands and I'm freaking excited. I'm taking the plane on the 12th and coming back on the 24th.
The only bad thing is that I'm going with my sister and his boyfriend but hey, it's the Canary Islands! And once I get my feet there, I go my way and they go theirs.

So where are you guys going on vacation?

Good for you Joe, take the time out and ease your mind. I know that steam you posted left a scar.

And I envy you for taking your time out :lol:

My vacation is mostly spent on my bed, sleeping the whole day long. I find it cool.

My vacation this summer was a week spent at home at the beginning of June, then it was straight back to college for summer courses and work. Gonna try to go to Southern California during the winter vacation though, started planning already.

That sounds awesome, hope you have a fun time there, Joe.

I went to Thailand for three weeks at the beginning of May. Thailand wasn't as great due to the people killing the experience. Everywhere we went, the friendly people would try to scam us or somehow try to make money or a commission off of us. Every single person does it, and they won't leave us alone. It's ridiculous. The beaches are really nice, though.
if you were killed tomorrow, i WOULDNT GO 2 UR FUNERAL CUZ ID B N JAIL 4 KILLIN THE MOTHA FUCKER THAT KILLED U!

I could walk but I usually drive there with my wife (it's a big ass city), mostly to go see her family and get drunk while we're at it.

Sounds great Joe, hope you have a fantastic trip. (Y)

I'm hoping to get up to my brother's again this Christmas but it depends on whether I can get a week off or not.

Ditto.

January 2nd I'll be in Miami for two weeks though. One week to attend a wedding of my "sister" and the other to just relax.

I haven't left the country since last year summer...the funeral of my grandfather in Suriname. Not exactly a vacation though.

:? Now that you mention school, I just remembered I didn't do my Physics summer homework. And now I'm gonna have to do it in four days. That includes studying 8 Chapters of my Physics book. :|

I went on vacation here in Italy twice in my whole life. The prices are insane.
I prefer to go to Spain. They have some lovely beaches in Catalunya and the prices aren't that high.

Anyway, why are you jealous? You live in freaking California, for Christ's sake! I'm the one that's jealous!

Yeah, Spain is great. I like Madrid as a city better because it reminds me of Buenos Aires (my hometown), and because people speak Castilian.

Barcelona, however, is on the coast, has beautiful beaches and great architecture. But it's a pain in the ass to find people who speak Castilian, and Catalan is pretty difficult to understand.

They're both great cities, I guess it's all about preferences. Anyway, Spain>>>Italy anytime.

Well I'm off for the weekend to the snow, either Falls Creek or Hotham. Get to use my new snowboard, boots and pants for the first time which I got for my 21st over a year ago. The snow season was so shit here last year that I never got a chance to use them at all, but now I can. Yay for me :)
