Oooh! Is the "Pink Door" (I think that's the name) still around? Yum.

Oh, and cam you guys pick me up some Earl Gray with Lavendar from the little tea shop in Pike Market?

Or, can I just go along? I'm getting the travel itch again (it's been almost a month!)

well, we started 2005 off in Paris at DLRP and were there through Jan 5th - so were a little backed up on vacation time, but were looking hopefully at a trip back to Virginia this summer to visit some friends that just moved back there, but that might not be til september/october because our friend is pregnant and due in Sept.

Other than that, nothing really big planned. Our next big trip is going to be Italy sometime, or maybe even one of the Asian disneylands.... hopefully in 2006 (*crosses fingers*)

We will do some weekend trips places, as we always do, out to AZ to visit my in-laws and some other friends in SouthEast Arizona, I also want to go back up to Napa/Sonoma this summer.

I DID have a girls only trip to Vegas planned for the end of the month..but wouldn't you know it...Hubbie's work scheduled a conference for him that same weekend...So of course..guess who suffers?

Other than that..we have nothing planned...I want a DL trip sometime this summer...probably a little trip up to the Grand Canyon when the weather gets nice...

Maybe something Carribbean for Christmas...

Ok..so we've scrapped our plans to go to Mexico at the end of the month...the thought of being caught in some drug overlords shootout leaves me less than desiring to go! Even though the odds of something happening are slim to none, Mexico for some reason makes me nervous anyway...And we've been hit with travel advisories every night on the news here cautioning anyone going to Mexico....SO how can I relax on the beach with my margarita when I'm worried about stray bullets!
We're going to take the kids to Tombstone for the day instead...but before we go we'll make sure we screen both Tombstone and Wyatt Earp before we go so the kids will be up to date!

And of course I have this whole Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday thing going on...

very cool about tombstone... i love it there, my uncle actually got married in the Birdcage theater.. a rarity that he was allowed since he knew the owners.

Anyhow, where in AZ do you live? We have friends down in Sierra Vista that we visit from time to time....

We're just up the road in Tucson! My husband actually has a restaraunt in Sierra Vista...next time your there, stop in...it's called Johnny Carinos. Great Italian food, semi authentic!

I, myself, have been to Tombstone when I was younger...I loved it..but then I love anywhere that has historic value

I was actually surfing up on Tombstone and one of the Clanton's (or is it Clayton-I'm too lazy to look it up...whoever the Earp's were against.) relatives, I think it's a grandson, anyway...he does a yearly ghost tour...I think that would be cool. Boot Hill is supposedly VERY haunted!

All I've got is:
Disney Mexico cruise in June

Santa Cruz/San Jose/San Francisco/Monterrey in July (we have friends with a beach house in Santa Cruz so it'll be drinking on the beach and avoiding the insane mess that is drunk people with tons o' fireworks on the beach. Although it is kinda amusing seeing people run when the light show goes awry.)

Trying to do Florida in October (In-laws are there and well hell, why NOT go to WDW while I'm there...)

I envy those leaving the North American Continent........I need more money....

Very cool, we just came back from that area, did the indian ruins in Casa Grande just north of you, and the Sonora living desert (just west of Tucson) before visiting our friends down in Sierra Vista.

I will definetly have to ask if my friends have been there... Where in sierra vista? More than likely off of Frye, because thats where everything in SV is, but let me know the area and Ill tell them to hop on over for dinner

The clanton's have been big in Tombstone for sometime now, my uncle actually knows a few of the relatives (lets just say hes a little obsessed with Tombstone) and has done the boot hill tour and the Katchner Caverns which were popular back in that time.

But if you get to do the Boot Hill tour, definetly do it.. They have daily re-enactments of the Gunfight at the OK Corral there for like $5 a person, and you can even eat at Big Nose Kates Salloon....

Do much the same as I did last year. I'm a bit of a truck nut (Chevy/GMC s-series pickups and blazers and the like). Flying down from here to Ontario, So Cal and driving with a girlfriend to St. Louis to a truck meet and back again. Last year it was in Kansas City. We drive one way and come back the other route, so as to hit 11 states. It's a great drive and a wonderful getaway.

Just call us Thelma and Louise

Confirmed and for certain trips:
Vegas- Memorial Day weekend
somewhere in CO where I can lounge by the pool and do as much nothing as possible- week of July 4th.

Possible and probable trips:
WDW first weekend of June (I want to go one more time before the AP's expire)
DL in December- with the whole family if it works out (my parents and brother have not been in over 20 years)

Vegas, for my sister-in-law's spring break. That will be a fast trip, leaving after class on Saturday, driving to Vegas, and probably taking Monday and Tuesday off work, got to be back for hubby's class Tuesday night.

I'll also be in Minnesota in June for my brother's wedding.
