    Oh yeah i've been to the area before, love Xcaret! I think we are going to try to do Chichen Itza this time if we have time (already done Tulum). Have either of you been, is it worth it?
    No, but we met a couple who did and they said it was a long day. Long drive to and from, lots of walking while there.. It is one of the seven wonders but they didn't make it sound all that worth it.

    Camping/Hiking in the Sawtooth mountains in Idaho, then over to the Tetons in Wyoming.

    Then in August... My annual pilgrimage to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

    That was why my family and I opted for Tulum instead of Chicen Itza, the time involved.

    I'm headed to Reno, NV to bowl in the Women's Nationals Bowling Tournament this coming Sunday. I am travelling from the East Coast. For the trip back home I've opted to take the train (3 day journey). I am so looking forward to relaxing for those 3 days, travelling through the mountains, reading, listening to music, etc.

    Lots of camping up and down the coast of Queensland in the camper we bought today and I'm thinking maybe next overseas trip should be Paris/Slovenia/Turkey maybe.

    Jealous of all these Hawaii trips! Our best friends are doing a 12 day Hawaiian cruise in September and ending it by staying 3 days on the big island and renewing their vows at sunrise! So wish we could be there!

    If it were me, I would not spend a whole day on such a short trip doing it.

    I would either enjoy the resort the whole time or just pick one excursion to do for 1/2 day but not the full day.

    Xel-ha is supposed to be nice too.

    Paris in 2 days. I am going to gorge myself on the French language. If DH is lucky I'll speak English to him! No concrete plans- just want to see a lot of cathedrals and art. Oh, yeah- Reims Cathedral is in the Champagne region, and I found a tour from Paris that lets you wander around the cathedral, have lunch, then tour a couple of Champagne manufacturers. Yeah, sign us up!

    I went on a 7 day cruise in February. My next "real" vacation will be to Disney World next year around this time to celebrate my 50th birthday! Between now and then I plan on going to the beach every Friday (I don't work on Friday) and I might plan a night or two away somewhere with my husband in September. We're kinda poor so we don't go away much at all.

    We are heading to Florida next month.. I have already lost 8 lbs since I started my diet last week. Just signed up yesterday. Hoping to lose another 25 lbs by June 15th. My cousins are all 100 lbs soaking wet, and I'm the "fat cousin" so I'm hoping to show some real progress." I have 114 lbs to go.. Did have 122 lbs, now I just have 114 lbs to go :)

    I'm Beth by the way! :)

    I lived in the Champagne region for 7 months teaching English in the Reims school district! That cathedral is beautiful. :smile: Have fun in my second home, and drink a little extra champagne for me! :laugh:

    Trying to plan a trip to Mississippi, but the rest of the family can't decide if they can go or not. It will be my first time back in 13 years.

    That is a LOT of weight in such a short period of time... I hope you are eating healthy and exercising!

    What part of Florida?

    It's not as exciting as I would like, but probably doing an extended family vacation to Myrtle beach near the end of the summer. It's nice, it includes my parents, brother, hubby, and kiddo. It would be a lot better if I didn't have to cook, clean, and babysit. On the plus side, I can still have a vacation with the kid and hand him off to the parents for at least one evening to have some adult fun.

    Last year we did a cruise and the year before Disney World.

    This year we are doing a bit differently and we bought a Seasonal Camping at our favorite camp ground. We will be out there most weekends through Oct. and the kids and I will be out there during the week at times as well. At the end of June dh and ds are going to upper Michigan to a cabin to boat and fish with FIL. At the end of July the kids and I are heading to IL for a few days to visit family, then St. Louis, then MO to visit my sister and her kids-then we are heading to Hannibal, MO for a few days.

    It will be a little different then the past few years, but I'm looking forward to it all.

    I'm not sure yet what our fall plans will be.

    Miami in July. I have worn 2 bathing suits in the past 10 years and both times I wore a cover-up or shorts the whole time over it. My goal is to be able to go coverless with confidence this year.

    we are flying up to northern Saskatchewan where my family owns an island, for about 4 days.

    4 days of no outside contact, just us, the cabin, the water, the speedboats, and lazin on the dock.

    (the only way to maintain any outside contact up there is by SAT phone).

    it will be heavenly.

    The hubs and I are taking our 2 kids to Waikiki for a week in August. We are so excited! We haven't traveled in about 5 years and this time there won't be any in-laws in sight! Just us. Did I mention how excited I am? :)
