The travel board is totally dead so here we go.
For me, the Mrs and I are headed to New Orleans for jazz fest (weekend 1) in April, have a long weekend in Denver for a bachelor party, and we're thinking of doing 10 days in Europe this fall, split between Prague and Budapest. Been to Prague before but never Budapest. Also have a work convention in Vancouver.
What about you?

Budapest is a beautiful and sophisticated city but Prague is a lot more fun.

That all sounds great. It's good to do it while you're youngish. When you are my age everything pisses you off.

Had a one night stay in Belfast earlier in the month to see their hockey team. Went with a couple friends, that that was good craic.
Going to Lanzarote with herself for 5 nights next month (My 40th birthday falls on Good Friday, when it is illegal to sell alcohol in this backward country + sun!).
Going to Dubrovnik for 6 nights in September (We're regarding that as our delayed honeymoon).
If funds allow I'd like to do another overnight in Belfast with herself and a weekend away in December; maybe London, Amsterdam or Brussels. Somewhere not too far, anyway).

but going to amsterdam and a golf trip in ireland or france etc is not a holiday imo - so yeah those will happen! as they allways do.
I just wont be going on a main holiday.
I will be at glastonbury on my 40th (during my 40th) - It will probally kill me.

I will be traveling to Nebraska in August to experience the total solar eclipse. A bucket list experience. Then traveling on to Colorado up into the Rockies. One of the most beautiful places in the world for me.

One of the most beautiful places in the world for me. Agreed on the Rockies. I've been to random rural towns up in western Colorado and there is just nothing like it. Breathtaking skies, the mountain air, among my favorite experiences. I was fortunate to spend some time at Mont Blanc in Chamomix on the border of France and Switzerland back in 2004. If you can make it there to that part of the world, try to stop there. i think in early 2018 we're gonna head to Iceland to try to catch the northern lights. That's on my bucket list for sure and a trip to Iceland is a tad more feasible than heading over to Scandinavia. |

One of the most beautiful places in the world for me. I'm heading to Denver for the first time in my life at the end of May. I won't get to go into the mountains, though; I'm going to a Soundgarden concert, and it's highly unlikely that I'll be able to leave the city. Hope to explore the Rockies someday, though. I'm very disappointed that I won't have an opportunity to visit my brother in South Korea this year. He'll be stationed in Germany this fall, though, and I'm definitely going to see him there, probably next year. |

Living in the northern US I am able to get a taste of the northern lights. Seeing them closer to the Artic Circle such as Iceland would be awe inspiring. Hiking the volcanos would be something that I would also enjoy. |

You know damn well its going to rain that day. |

have a long weekend in Denver for a bachelor party, and we're thinking of doing 10 days in Europe this fall, split between Prague and Budapest. Been to Prague before but never Budapest. What about you? If you want to save a bit of moolah and have a much better time while you are in Europe, I would only spend 2-3 nights in each place, stay in hostels (much more fun than hotels) and get the train about. If you plan it out right, you could probably go to 3-4 cities, you can possibly use night trains, some of them you can reserve beds, and you could probably fit in one or two of Krakow/Bucharest/Berlin in as well as Prague and Budapest. Although the trains do get more shit and slower the further east you go, and sometimes it is mandatory to reserve a seat in advance, so obviously plan it out right, but even the trains can be a good laugh at night. More of a young person's game though. |

More of a young person's game though. I did that when I was 25 and traveled over much of western Europe doing exactly that. Took overnight trains, stayed in hostels, traveled mostly alone and met people that to this day, nearly 13 years later, I still keep in touch with. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything and I got to see and do a ton of things. I have some great memories on those night trains. Basically everyone you meet is on the same page and it was always a blast. But now I'm in my late 30s, have my wife in tow and can afford to splurge. So I'll be doing about 4 days/nights per city and hitting up hotels. When we travel, we usually divy up the time equally between doing touristy shit, then traveling the countryside and focusing on local cuisine, hiking, bike tours, etc. |

Heading to Vegas in Septemeber or October, don't have any dates yet as we are waiting for the NFL schedule to come out before we decide. Been a long time since I've been in Vegas during football season. It's great watching the games in a sportsbook

I'm not sure if I could do it in my mid 30s either, actually I think I could, I just wouldn't be able to go crazy every night! |
