Who's planning for 2014 vacations?

Just booked our first camping trip for April 2014. We're going to stay at the Jellystone in Cosby in the Smoky Mountains. Kids have never been there and we're all really looking forward to it.

This summer we also plan on visiting Lake Superior in Brimley and Tahquamenon Falls. We'll visit Lake Huron at Tawas Point, and Lake Michigan at Silver Lake. We've stayed at all of these places before (aside from Tahquamenon) and have enjoyed them all.

It's still another 5 months before we can dewinterize, but I'm already looking forward to it. Seems like planning is half the fun!

Anyone else have vacations planned yet?

  • We are trying to plan our summer trip for next year. We are leaning towards southern Colorado, but we are having some new flooring put in next week and that is putting a dent into our funds. Lol. Might need to start thinking of something closer.
  • We're planning to officially retire in August and plan to spend Sept. and Oct. traveling to North Carolina for a month or so. After that, who knows. Everything could change if a grand baby is announced (we're still anxiously waiting).

    You'll love Door Co., make sure you book early, the area fills up really fast.

    Planning Branson, MO. next summer but can't book the S.P. we want to stay at until Dec.

  • February to the central Florida gulf coast!!! We've been down 3 times in the past 7 years, trying to make it a yearly trip! Missed last year because we had a 4 month old child at the time... willing to risk it with a 16 month old child though!!!

    Looking to spend 2 days traveling down to Florida, 1 week in Anna Maria Island (between Tampa and Sarasota), 5 days in Charleston (or 2 days Savannah, 3 days Charleston. After we leave Charleston we will either deadhead it home or break up the trip, depending on how the daughter is handling all that time in the car.

    2000 miles round trip at 10 mpg... the most expensive part of the trip will be the 200 gallons of gas at the current rate of $3.25/gallon. Hopefully gas prices go down in February and the further south we get.

    After that, nothing planned. Hoping we have enough $$$ and leave saved up to go to NYC for a couple days. I would love to go to Niagara Falls. Might hit Raystown Lake in PA. I'd love to take the wife up to upstate New York (where my mom is from and her cousin is going to school). Couple of weekend trips to southern PA, Western MD, eastern WV, eastern VA. Getting excited, even though the closest trip is at least 3 months away...
  • we have Spring Break planned- going to head south for some warm weather. you will enjoy Tahquamenon Falls- if you like micro breweries they have on by the upper falls. make sure you rent a row boat and go out to the island. enjoy the trips!!
