What (or where) is your fave way to vacation?

[capt_noonie]

I hate the Renn faire. We got harrassed big time and got called "faire idiots". They are allowed to be a**holes and fairly racist bc it's concurrent with the time. I don't like that. They only welcome Asians at our local ren faire if you are there with a big camera around your neck as a spectator but not as a participant.

I'm sorry that happened. IDK if it's a problem at the one in PA, I went one time 8 years ago.

IDK are there Asians there that dress up? LOL
I literally saw one Asian girl that was an employee there. I think they hired her so they wouldn't get sued.

I feel as though I've never been on a real vacation, so I have nothing to add ther. I've taken trips, most of which sucked. None ever included warm weather and turquoise waters. Maybe some day soon I'll actually get to do something like that.

I just wanted to say, Uni and Toto are always welcomed to stay with Kaji and me if MIL is ever too busy to watch them! We finally have the room and space to return the favor.

Despite my location, near NY, Philly, and all kinds of historic stuff, I've only been able to go those places with school.

I'm dieing to go back to Disney World, I'm obsessed with Disney. My dream vacation is to go to Tokyo Disney.

Last summer I took Lola outlet shopping twice, it was great. I'd love to find more vacation spots to take her.

This sounds like so much fun!! I've always wanted to see what the other Disney parks look like.

I don't remember, it was too long ago. If I had to guess I'd say mostly white people go. I also went with school, so it was probably a different experience than going on the weekend.

I wore an old Halloween costume and no one said anything to me, but I'm extremely white and I was with my friend and his dad. They're both over 6', I think his dad is like 6'6". I've never felt shorter (5'2").
This is similar to my costume.

That's basically how I feel, almost all of the trips I've taken have been a few hours away and most were day trips. That's the good part about NJ, lots of stuff to do within driving distance. The bad thing is my mom doesn't like a lot of the things I like, so we mostly went to the beach. She's extremely city-phobic and hates all the historic stuff.

Disney World is the closest I've come to a real vacation. I went once Freshman year with my mom and grandmom and again for my Senior trip with school. Both times on a tight budget and I got sick with a bad sinus infection.

It was hard growing up, my town has a lot of rich people and they'd constantly take all these awesome trips to Islands, Europe, and of course Disney World. I was bullied a lot for never going to Disney.
It wasn't uncommon for people to take 3+ major trips a year (summer, christmas, easter) plus take days off school for vacations.

I'd like to go to all the parks at some point, but the one in Tokyo looks the best. Plus their merchandise is ridiculously cute.

Explain to me what a v a c a t i o n is??

[ilovejoel]

The closest thing to a vacation I've ever been on was a hotel when our roof was getting fixed lol

[chachi]

I love going on vacation any where. One of my new fav places to go is San Francisco went there last year and had a blast. I think our big trip this year is going to be a combination Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas trip i have never been to either place

[Deb1]

We were young and did a lot of driving or car riding and the high lite of our day was the hotel pool! My brother now go camping in the summer! We park our campers, fish, swim and go boating! Basically just chill and enjoy!

[Wylie's Mom]

My fave vacation memories are the visual memories I have (and go back to) of each place in my mind: Amsterdam (LOVE!), Copenhagen, Madrid, Napa Valley, Colorado, San Fran, NYC, Seattle, New Orleans, San Diego, Charleston, Boston, Wash DC, Chicago, Sedona, Portland, Montana, Idaho, The Badlands, Hawaii, Mexico....and more I'm forgetting...all of these places have these little placeholders in my mind that are unique and special.

As far as my dream trip -- our own plane so we can bring our 3 yorkies, and we'd travel all over Europe, Scandinavia, plus Morocco, Egypt, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bali, Bora Bora, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Nepal...and anywhere else our hearts desired. Our dream trip would include, of course, hotels that welcomed our 3 dogs and had sound proof walls for them .

[MarkFromSea]

My dream vacation would include fishing for marlin out of Australia.

We've taken cruises out of Florida, California and Washington. All of them were enjoyable and very affordable at about $100 a day per person. If you've never tried a cruise, I highly recommend at least one....

Generally most of my vacations are right here in state and include fishing.

[crystalsmom]

Right now, I would like a vacation anywhere that would get me out of the cold.

Actually last time before I went my friend got slashed by a sting ray in Long Beach right before I left and he told me all about it. He got two very deep wounds. That bugger got him twice!

Probably ankle deep for me, lol!

I'm confused, I thought stingrays were deadly. Or was Steve Irwin's death a fluke because it got him in the heart?

I'm envious of you and your dad.

My dad spent 3 months in a business exchange thing where he got to travel to Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. He was a maniac like you and has pictures of himself in a rocking boat, everyone is puking over the sides, but he is throwing oysters and beer down his throat. He weighed 130 pounds when he left, and came back weighing 155 pounds.

The long plane rides would do me in, especially if the plane was packed.
