[Kitty 34]

Mackinaw City, MI late August.

 

[hmsTigger]

Bend, OR in Sept.
DL over Halloween.
Vegas in Dec.
Brazil in may. Going to hit Rio, the Amazon, and Pantanal.
Also have Egypt, Israel, and Jordan booked in Dec 2025.
Son is doing destination wedding in Feb 2025. SE Asia somewhere.

We just came back from Norway. I would love to go back and head to Northern Norway so I’m trying to squeeze that in somewhere. Norway might be our favorite country so far.

Did you take a DCL cruise to Norway?

…

To answer your second question, I have my eye on American Cruise Line sailing out of Portland up Columbia and Snake rivers. Looks fascinating and that is such beautiful country. They also do Great Lakes sail that looks fun.

We are close to booking one of those, but for October next year.

 

[Moliphino]

Planning on a week in Switzerland in October. Fly into Zurich, stop briefly in Lucerne, a few days in Lauterbrunnen, and finish up in Geneva.

Next year we're doing two weeks in northern Italy. Not sure yet if we want to do it spring or fall. Then we'll have another week somewhere TBD.

Did you take a DCL cruise to Norway?

Nope. My MIL is from Norway and my husband still has lots of family there. We rented a car and traversed on our own. It was absolutely beautiful.

 

[SteveH]

Two weeks in Maui over Christmas.

 

[Living42Day]

Cairo

 

[DCLMP]

Northern European cruise.

 

[DCLMP]

I haven't thought much after this Summer. Our last three vacations have been in Europe. I'm thinking maybe DC and the east coast next year. I'd like to go to Japan in 2025.

 

[mommasita]

New Brunswick in 12 days.

My DD19’s college team plays in a tournament there.
We went there this past March and we had a great time.

NYE 2024 - WDW
We‘re very excited to ring in the New Year at WDW.
It‘s going to be crazy crowded, but we’re ok with it. We‘re looking forward to the dance parties and having a different kind of fun at WDW. My DD will be 21, so we can enjoy some adult beverages - it’ll be a blast!

WDW in October

 

[wabbott]

We are close to booking one of those, but for October next year.

The Columbia River Gorge is quite spectacular. While there, you may as well go to Cape Disappointment, where Lewis & Clark first saw the Pacific Ocean.

 

[disneyseniors]

Just wanting to see where everybody is going. I’m looking for some unique vacations ideas. We’ve been on a few Amtrak train routes over the last few years, Key West, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone etc. I love the ease of the trains but we are done. Has anybody done a U.S.A. River cruise lately?

Phoenix in the Spring, and also Universal Orlando

I love the ease of the trains but we are done. Has anybody done a U.S.A. River cruise lately?

We've also done a lot of long distance Amtrak travel but not up for the long delays/cancellations this summer.

We were watching cruise prices for the Snake/Columbia river but cannot pay over $5,000 per person.

This morning, we decided to book a Bermuda bound cruise on Disney out of NY for October.
The prices seem reasonable after watching the Amercian Cruise line prices.

We are also going to do a road trip to drive the length of The Blue Ridgemountain parkway.

 

[wabbott]

We've done the Blue Ridge Parkway several times. It never gets old to me. If you can manage a mid to late June drive, the Catawba rhododendron bloom is something to see. Craggy Gardens is one of the better locations for that. Lunch or breakfast at Pisgah Inn is neat with the huge picture windows looking out over the mountains.

Litttle Switzerland is a good place to stay with decent restaurants.

If your trip is in the fall, October into early November will be the prime leaf color times. There is no one time that is best, as the higher elevations change early, with the lower elevations later. We did the trip the first week in November several years ago and saw plenty of color.
