London for a Premier League match in late April (Spurs and Watford in Wembley). We plan on visiting Wimbledon as well. Heavy pub action will ensue.


Same guy and I are driving out to Montana from Ohio for 10 days near Labor Day. I love the Mountain time zone.

 

Almost went to Wimbledon last year, but my buddy had a business conflict. We were invited to stay at some friends who have a place in London this spring/summer. Long shot that it happens, but a guy can dream. 

 

It reminds me of the old game, if you could pick three sporting events to attend..... Sure, a Final Four or Super Bowl is great, but I’m all in of the French Open, Wimbledon, Australian Open, etc. More travel than sport, but technically within the lines.  :)

Cook Islands (Rarotonga) again this winter.

 

Very cool. We honeymooned in FP and going back next year for our 10th anniversary. Going big, probably 4 islands. I don’t think we’ll get to the Cook Islands this time but Rarotonga has definitely grabbed my attention before.

We had a trip planned for NO, Austin, and then Vegas that should have been occurring at this moment, but the dog relapsed and needs chemo again, so we canceled (road trip, he was coming with us). If all goes well with him, we travel nowhere this year.  When he passes (he's already lived 20% longer than prognosis... he'll be in some studies going forward), I have a good dozen trips I want to take.

The top five are:

1) Australia and New Zealand (this is the biggies)
2) Panama Canal (may do this as part of a 60 day SA cruise that also has Antartica as a stop)
3) Nordic Fjords (want to do Alaska again, but Norway first)
4) Eastern Europe (have not been since was a kid, and would like to go back)
5) Wintering in Italy (instead of Florida)

So, my travel itinerary depends on a dog.  ? ?

Disney.  In August :bag:

 

My condolences :) 

 

Just kidding, World or Land?

 

If it's World and you're not a Disney regular, understand that you might need to plan some stuff well in advance.  I'm not a Disney regular and have suffered a few times as a result, including a few weeks ago.

Late April heading to Dallas/Arlington for the NFL Draft.

 

If John Williams has another concert at the Hollywood Bowl during Labor Day, I will be there.

 

Sometime in September or October, going to Buffalo for the first time and attend my first ever Bills home game. I will need all the recommendations from everyone here on what to do and where to go. I'll be at Hammer's Lot for the Pinto tailgate.

You will have a blast at the match..sounds awesome! Don't let that Montana trip interfere with the home opener!

That is really not a bad time to go, we have done it in August as well. Lots of southern schools like Georgia and Texas start early August.  Think we used this site last time to help plan, well worth the $15 or whatever. https://touringplans.com/

Sorry bout the dog, but sounds like your travel depends more on a rather large wallet. We did parts of Eastern Europe on our honeymmon in the mid 90's, be interesting to go back and see all the changes. Budapest back then still covered in soot

Italy in late May/early June.  Been on our list forever, finally planned it.  Rome/Florence/Venice.  Can't wait.

Awesome dude. Have a great time! But how did you plan this knowing the Sabes might be in the cup final?

My son was in Budapest last January. He said it was fantastic! And from the photos he shared, it sure looked it.

Taking the family to Scotland this summer. 

My consolation is I get to play a course on my bucket list, Royal Dornoch (I've played the Old Course and Carnoustie before). It's going to be an expensive round when all is said and done...

We recently got back from the Baja Peninsula. Couple of days in laid back Todos Santos, Dinner at Hotel California, artsy, surfing, trail riding in the desert, 1 pickup police patrols. A week in Cabo San Lucas, great fishing, Music at Cabo Wabo, tourist trapy unless you know where to go, always haggle, 2 pickups in police patrols. 3 days in Jose Cabo. Breakfast at Tropicana, village square being remodeled, might have had tainted alcohol at a bar, nice surf, 3 pickups in police patrols with 50 caliber machine gun on at least one. Drug war, safe for tourist unless caught in crossfire. Murder rate double of Detroit. Um I think next VaKa St. Martinique or Hawaii or Dollywood.

So you're saying parking fees are going up?

Disney World.  We will have dates finalized by the end of this month then planning begins.  My daughter loves to dress up as different Disney Princesses so there will be at least one meal with them that I heard needs to be booked well in advance.  Going with extended family and they are all planners.  They are already anxious dates and itinerary aren't planned lol.

I’m so sorry..... 

 

 

 

Get the fast pass, and hydrate! 

 

Absolutely!  For a few bucks I can't skip fast pass so I don't have to stand in that heat any longer than necessary!
