It's the 2009 FOT Vacation Spectacular Thread!
« on: June 15, 2009, 10:59:14 AM »
I just booked a two-night trip (that we can't really afford... but I don't care) to go to Ocean City MD for the weekend! Woo! We're doing the totally trashy thing and staying in an overpriced, crappy hotel right on the boardwalk. I'm so excited!!

We're also going to the Outer Banks later this year for free.

What are y'all doin this summer?

I'm moving to Montreal in a couple of weeks. I'm finishing my current job at the end of this week. I'm hoping to take just about the whole summer off and explore my new city!

Where on the Outer Banks?


Do most of you Yankees know where the Outer Banks are?  Hint: south of Cape May.

We're staying at/on Kill Devil. I've never been there before. From what I understand it will be the opposite of the tourist trap experience that we're getting in two weeks in OC. And I'm excited to go somewhere where both BBQ and steamed crabs are the fare of choice. Num. (Naturally, I eat my way through vacations...)

We stayed on the Outer Banks a few times, near Salvo. Very nice.

This year, we are camping for a week on Grand Manan Island in the Bay of Fundy.

You zung me, son!  I've never heard of Salvo - apparently I'm a homestateadummy.


Erika - the OBX are very beautiful and comparatively uncrowded and relaxed.  The lighthouses are fun if you feel like a longish drive one day.  Kill Devil Hills has the Wright Brothers' memorial, which is interesting.  Those dudes were crazy to think that people could fly.

Are you going to see the sea bathing wild horses?



I went camping in Ocean City. I thought we were staying on the beach. We stayed in an rv park and it rained and I cried. Then I got over it and had fun.

I am spending a few days in New York City with my cousins and annoying sister-in-law of my cousin. I wanted to stay here: http://www.leffertsmanorbedandbreakfast.com/our_brooklyn_bed_and_breakfast
but instead she booked us for here:
http://www.dreamny.com/
phth.
I was going to get to go to Miami/Pensacola FL but I couldn't get off work.
I am excited about NYC, though. I'm just scared that all they'll want to do is shop, cos I don't have much moolah.

Right now I'm spending a couple of weeks in the town I grew up, Karlskrona. With my folks. It's half vacation, half work though, since we're emptying out my grandfather's house (he's fine, just moved into a nursing home). Celebrating Midsummer's Eve on Friday, which is a big deal - biggest party, longest night of the summer.

I'll be spending most of the summer in Malmö, working. Couple of days in Stockholm in August, then a quick trip to the French riviera in late August to celebrate my dad turning 60.

That's about it.

Don't forget your TV and The Great Outdoors on Blu-Ray.

Julie I think I'll just be seeing sea bathing rednecks, to be honest with you! We stayed in one of those trailer parks when I was little and it flooded. I thought it was the best vacation ever, but my mother was horrified that my brother and I were swimming in flood water. (At the time I was 7 and had no concept of how polluted flood water in OC would be... we just thought my mum was a pill)

I just got back from my summer vacation, MaxFunCon.  It was great time with a lot of amazing people.

Not my intention at all, Buffcoat. I married a woman from south of the Mason/Dixon line, so I kinda cheated in that way.  She taught me about the Outer Banks, and I taught her about being an uptight asshole.

Oh you know it.  I believe that includes a scene of a bear chasing people around in a funny way.
