Your annual vacation/holidays

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Had to put the kibosh on my trip to see the new Rangers ballpark.

The reason is that there was a lot of labor unrest surrounding this year's baseball season (because of the players lockout). Nobody knew when the season was going to start - fortunately, it only ended up getting delayed a week, but nonetheless not enough people were booking the tour I was going to take, so I had to put off my trip to see Globe Life Field. Again. This is the third year in a row I've had to do that!

(I can't go on my own, since there is no mass transit in Arlington, TX where the ballpark is. There is a hotel right next door, but probably way too expensive, plus I don't want to just sit around in a ing hotel room for a week!)

But all is not lost, I will be going to Chicago instead. I leave a week from Friday!

Going to see three Whitesox games (against my Yankees! ), six Cubs games, and just enjoying the hell out of the city of Chicago.

On 5/13 we fly to DC for my MIL's 90th birthday! This will be my first vacation since before The Plague. I may not be here all week.

I recently booked my vacation to Austria in June. I'll be absent, too.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Chicago, here I come!

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Heading out to Seattle tomorrow.

(Not a Mariners fan as such, but I like their ballpark, and I love the city of Seattle very much)

And I just heard that the US has, as of tomorrow, dropped their testing requirements at the border. So I should be able to visit Canada again next year! W00t!

I haven’t had a holiday in a decade

I usually have an annual trip to visit friends in China but sadly that is not happening at the moment due to COVID. Post COVID I also regularly enjoyed visiting Europe and Thailand/Malaysia/Indonesia etc. The Middle East is super cool too. I’m hoping that my next big holiday will be a trip to explore India and do loads of yoga over there which I had planned to do before COVID ruined things!

I might never get out of this god forsaken country again though at this rate! Besides pandemics and politics, it’s all becoming a bit cost prohibitive to be honest.

I just got back from Orlando where I spent two days at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure. Also spent two days playing putt putt, walking around Disney Springs (bought the Lego Ecto-1 ) and ate some REALLY good food. Also tried oysters for the first time at the Boat House. Yum!

Sadly, I've arrived back in Kentucky, where I will have two more days off before going back to work

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Loving Seattle this week!

Yesterday I came back from my trip to Austria. Mountains, nice weather, bathing and delicious food.... I feel quite relaxed now.

<Janeway thought bubble> Ahhhhhh... It feels so good.... to know Tuvix is finally dead. Dead. Dead!

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

It may only be quarter after 8 AM here in lovely Denver International Airport but I really think it’s a good time to start consuming gin and tonics.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I hereby take back everything bad I have ever said about the city of Philadelphia.

In the past I have had some very nasty things to say about Philly but I regret all of it. I had a GREAT time when I was in Philly last week, and I promise I'll never insult it again!

True, I wasn't a visiting fan, as such (the Phillies were playing the Braves) but there were a lot of Atlanta fans there, and nobody was giving them any grief.

Plus, Philly has THE nicest Marriott I have ever stayed in. So that's also a plus!

Only caveat was, I ate too much. WAY too many cheesesteaks.

I also had a good time in Baltimore of course. I'm not ragging on it either. (Crab cakes on cheeseburgers! It's a thing!) Even though Baltimore's Amtrak station kind of sucks.

 

[The God Thing]

As I work from home I can take vacations whenever I want. Currently I am planning a road trip with several acquaintances to New Mexico with the return leg through Utah (via Colorado and the “Million Dollar Highway”).

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I was planning on going back to the Oktoberfest next year but I think I will do another trip to the Calgary Stampede instead. It's been longer since I've done that.

And now that I can return to Canada, I figure I might as well go all in!

 

[Kilana2]

Tomorrow I'll travel to Austria again, for several relaxing days. The weather's going to be fine. I need some time of wellness and great food....

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Booked my hotel reservation in Calgary for next year's Stampede.

 

[Birb-of-Prey]

Going to visit a feathered friend between the end of November and beginning of December, and then in January I'm going to Anthro New England.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I'm super stoked about my vacations this summer because I get to see TWO Yankees/Red Sox series. One in Boston and one in New York.

And it's a friendly rivalry (I honestly think Red Sox fans are some of the coolest I've ever met) so that makes it extra fun.

 

[JesterFace]

I don't do vacation tripping.
Only thing that's something like a vacation is the annual summer thing when my friend has a vacation and comes to his summer cabin and visiting there is enough.
It's about 28km from where I live.
Not that far.
Nice to come home at night.
