Vacation, all I ever wanted

[dancerjodi]

Brian and I want to go - somewhere this year. Somewhere that's not a convention and isn't directly Star Wars related.

Our travel in 2006 included CA to The Presidio/Skywalker Ranch, FL for Star Wars Weekends at Disney and then Dragoncon. Thus far in 2007 we're been to NYC Comicon and we'll be going to Dragoncon over Labor Day weekend. We want to do something else not Star Wars related! Domestic, leaning to the affordable side. Trying to conserve funds is why we didn't go to two far away weddings of friends and its why we're driving to Dragoncon (should be an adventure). The fall is far enough off that we can save and plan for it. Nothing crazy, but something different.

Some ideas:
-We keep saying we're going to Vegas some fall for a long weekend
-Montreal? Too cold? Bad time of year? The prospect of driving there is attractive.
-A far away Faire? We love Sterling but we've done that before (we'd drive out and camp). Its early in the faire season so it would be a summer thing and not a fall thing. We keep saying we want to check out MD but its late in the year and it would be too cold to camp (I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to the cold). But the Medieval Babes are playing there over Columbus Day weekend! But that's only a month after Dragoncon. I wonder if any of the fine MD folks wanted to put us up for the weekend and come along with us (bats eyelashes)?

What would you do for a different kind of domestic travel weekend in October?

Hey again. Tammy said she's up for doing a joint trip. It would save us both money by splitting lodging costs, and although we've been to Vegas many times, we'd like to do some day trips to Hoover Dam or the Grand Canyon or something. You could come with us, but you wouldn't be obligated to. The problem is my company is asking me about my vacation plans over the next 6 months, and I don't know what to tell them. It kind of depends on you guys. It seems like you made the decision on Vegas but weren't positive about the dates. I hate to pressure you to make a decision, but if you do have an idea and would like to pursue the timeshare option, please let us know. If you don't have any idea and won't for a long time, then I'll probably just ask for time off sometime in early October, and if it doesn't mesh with you guys, we'll plan on going somewhere else.
