Please plan a vacation for me..

I will be working most of the holiday season,spending christmas eve with my family,and then on christmas,I will sleep in and relax all day.Sounds boring right,but its just what I need after dealing with all those last minute shoppers the day before. :roll:

Roxette,are you a warm weather or cold weather person,I know you had a good time in Colorado once,a white snowy Christmas is always nice,with a little romance. :wink:

Spending vacation without work and with family at home is my way of having a great vacation. I would like to know what the other people here think ?

I actually plan on spending the Christmas holiday here at home. However, the roommates and I will be spending about 3 days for New Years in Toronto. We're all excited about it.

Well....this time of year is spent with my family, the wknd prior to Christmas. We come from a VERY large Catholic family, so we have a separate event every year, ever since I was a kid (and I am 38 yrs old!!!).

If you like snow...come to Minnesota! We are getting tons of it today into tomorrow!! (and I mean MAJOR accumulation!!!)

Happy Holidays, all!!!

One of our best vacations ever was spent at Disney World. The best time to go is in the fall - after school starts and avoid major holidays. The first and second weeks of December are awesome!

I have 10 days off between christmas and including new years. My plan is to wake each morning I am off and say, HEY I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO WORK. :lol:

Maybe you can stay close to home and do things for yourself that you normally would not do. Kind of play tourist for a few days. Find a buddy and hang out at a coffee bar and go see a movie (King King Yeah!!!). Go see some sights or seek out some neat shops to look around in. Or, just take a day trip somewhere.

Winter vacations are hard for me because I really don't like the cold. I stay close to home and do the day trip thing.

What ever you do, enjoy, relax and bring in the new year with a smile on your face.

I think I can say for us all, thank you for being you! Thank you for helping us with your genuine concern for our well being. You are the best!

Happy Holidays!

I have been on the computer all day and my fingers don't want to work anymore. I meant the movie King Kong. Should be really good!

Linda, being with a buddy during the holidays is not a bad idea.. I guess, I can convince him for a trip outside. :D

Gonna spend time with immediate family for Christmas.
Work Monday - Thursday both the week before Christmas and the week before New Years. Then, I start new job at 8AM on Jan 2!

Snow here in Colorado recently. Mostly gone, except the shaded areas. A few flakes in the mountains the last couple days. Here, it's gonna be in the upper 20's to low 30's through the weekend, with a chance of snow Saturday into Sunday.

One question though:
What kind of activities do you enjoy doing??

Keith

I love to explore the nature. :D I love mountains as well as water. That is the reason I am thinking to visit St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas, in the Virgin Islands. But, I am not quite familiar with the place. I have been to Colorado once and loved my stay over there. It's a beautiful place.

Roxette,

For the cold weather you like, and miles of unspoiled natural landscape, Switzerland may be where it's at. I would have suggested Denmark based on my experience, but they urbanized it to death!

hmm..Surprise...I went to Switzerland during my honeymoon. :D :D It's heaven

you should come out here to phoenix. it's cold here and we have tons of.... uh... cactus.

Wow!! I really appreciate all your suggestions. I am sure to contact my travel agent at the earliest.

Folks, tell me the places where you have spent the vacation in the past? I will really like to hear from all of you. :D

Anyone been to Scotland?

I will finally have a day off from everything on Friday. No more school or work (until the 27th.) I will be visiting family all over Florida during the holidays. It would be nice to have a white Christmas, but I cannot deal with anything below 70 :)

Been anywhere from the low/mid 20's to the low/mid 40's lately. Going to actually warm up to the 50's by Christmas! Light snow overnight last night, with a few flakes seen falling today.

Would be a good time to head to the mountains though, IF you're a diehard skier, which I'm NOT! :D

Wish I could go away on vacation...i'm so poor since christmas...i will be doing NOTHING for at least a month. It's so depressing.

Sarah, allow me to come to your place and offer a toast in the New Year :D

Thanks Ben! I think I did enough toasting on the New Years Eve...and my friends & I have almost 100 pictures of us doing insane things to prove it! :D
