mommyoffive Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Where are you traveling in 2022? Or where have you already traveled? Trips planned, ones you are thinking about, or dreaming of? On this horrible cold day, give me something else to talk about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 We’re planning on NYC in early June. It’s a trip that was planned as a graduation gift for youngest two years ago but obviously canceled due to Covid. Everything is booked and we’re hoping it works out this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovinmyboys Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 We are moving to Poland, so we will travel there. I would really like to go visit some friends and family before then, but I just don’t know if it will work out. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachGal Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 From now until July: Florida, Texas and Montana. Hoping for Hawaii if things ever settle down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hoping to meet up with our children at a central location in Europe for a delayed graduation celebration. We’re also doing an international move this year, but that certainly isn’t something I’m dreaming about. We’ll probably have three weeks to kill in the middle of it and no home to stay in, so we might not drive directly across the US. Maybe we’ll do a food-based road trip and I’ll ask here what everyone’s local favorites are. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 No plans at this time. I would like to go home to CO for a while. I would also like to go back to Bemidji for a few weeks this summer. I'll probably end up staying around our area. Oh, I just remembered. I will probably go to Ohio for the Western & Southern Open. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Fingers crossed nothing happens to interfere: I am tentatively scheduled to go to NYC in July. I was supposed to go in February to attend an event my daughter is coordinating (and visit), but the event is about to be officially postponed. I may take a couple of the days I had booked for February to do a solo camping trip, but it will be in-state, probably no more than a couple of hours from home. That's it for now. Again, if noting interferes, my daughter and her girlfriend will be visiting with us for a few days in August. She will be working an event in our area and is planning to hang out for a bit afterward. But, honestly, other than the camping trip, I have no confidence any of this will actually happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Maybe Disney. We were supposed to go next week, but we're recovering from Covid, so.......(3 of 5 of us got sick, not the other 2 and so now we're hoping to keep it that way). Current plan is to go in May instead. We're also hoping to travel to see friends in Ohio in March. Or May. Or sometime in the summer. (plan is "Spring Break" but as that may or may not be their son's spring break, we may delay) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks; we're doing okay and mostly over it. We are all fully vaxxed (and got our boosters the day before we found out we'd been exposed), so it's been very mild, comparatively speaking. We're on our 10th day of quarantine/isolation/whatever today, and trying to sort out if we retest and it's still positive, does that actually mean we're still contagious, or.....?????? I can't figure that out/find that info anywhere, and everything just says you can quit quarantining as long as you're 48 hrs past fever & declining/no more symptoms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) The Peak District in England in July - a cottage in the countryside. If you saw the BBC Pride and Prejudice, you will have seen images of the Peak District in the rocky hill where Lizzie stands gazing, and also the village where she stays with her aunt and uncle.

Mrs Tiggywinkle Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) I’m going to Disney again in February. My sister will probably PCS out of Florida by summer, so I’m taking my youngest and doing Disney while she’s still there. Lake Placid and North Carolina in April to speak at EMS conferences. I’m on my way to NYC right now but that’s taking a patient there in an ambulance so I don’t think it counts. I’m not really holding my breath about the conferences, because I fully expect another Covid variant and surge in the spring.

Bootsie Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 DD and I were supposed to take a Baltic cruise in 2020--it is rescheduled for this summer, but I don't know if that will really happen. If travel by Americans is allowed, I will go visit DD in Austria in the summer. We also have several aunts and uncles in their 80s and 90s in different parts of the US we would like to see as plans over the last two years were all cancelled and we haven't found a window of time to visit that we were not concerned about the possibility of spreading COVID; so, all of those plans are still in hold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEmama Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 We are hoping (not yet planning) for another trip to Ireland this spring, and to see more of the island. Ideally we'll spend a few days in Iceland en route. This winter we would like to meet DS overseas and spend the holiday either in Ireland or Germany— especially if my parents are able to join. I don’t feel particularly hopeful nor pessimistic about either at this point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Going with Dd to see some colleges in the spring. Taking Ds to/from summer camp in NC. Hopefully solo camping while he’s there.

Corbster98 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Montana in February for college visit. NC/ TN for our oldest son's college graduation and Army commissioning in May! Then some relax/ travel time for me/ hubby before long flight home. August- back to Montana to move ds into college. Some travel before returning home....maybe a dude ranch stay. And then some travel here in AK on the Kenai Peninsula before winter sets in again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Atlanta for a long weekend in Feb, to see friends. That one will be a go if all are healthy. We can get away with two pit stops and we'll just hang out there house. My favorite Caribbean island in June. Canceled the European cruise for August. Just can't see doing crowded cities, etc. yet. Thinking about Utah in late summer/fall and meeting up with our kids there. The one thing that is making travel more expensive though, is flights... because we're only flying first class to better socially distance on the plane. It's just the two of us, now. Guess we'll pay for one for Utah, the other can drive there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) It's really hard to wrap my head around "travelling for pleasure" these days.

Now that we're vac'ed, boostered and have just had Covid it may be a good time to go. 😉 ETA: Dh is on-board with a trip to Ireland and Norway this spring! I'm so excited. We can see his relatives in Ireland and mine in Norway. Return flights to Dublin are a great price!

Faith-manor Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 LOL, the list is long. This weekend, up to the U.P. to return ds to college, will make that trip twice for spring break, and then head up in April to move him out and attend commencement. March 4 and 5, skiing at Schuss Mountain. First week of May we head to Bozeman, MT. Yellowstone, then Badlands, then Museum of Danish America in Iowa before returning home. Fourth week of May and 1st week of June, Indiana/Missouri/Kansas. Taking eldest ds on research trip for his book. He has ongoing leg issues, and it is his right leg (car accident) so he can't drive for more than about 150 miles without leg spasms. So I am gladly playing chauffeur. 2nd weekend of June, van camping with Mark at Huron-Manistee National Forest. 3rd weekend of June, sailing on the Lake Huron coast. Staying overnight at an airbnb walking distance from the Harbor we are sailing to. 1st week of July, at the house in Alabama enjoying our grandsons. Sailing on weekends all through July with some overnights on shore. (We could tie up.at the transient slip and sleep below deck, but it is pretty tight on a 19 ft Compac. 1st week of August, camping with Mark and my nephew and niece in law at Tacquamenon Falls in the U.P. Last week of August, taking eldest ds on tours of the five universities on his short list for grad school. He is taking a break now before hunkering down for more school, but plans to be enrolled full time fall 2023. He would like to get a feel for each campus and area, check out his healthcare options before applying. Somewhere in that, potentially moving youngest ds to Wisconsin if he decides to accept the one job offer there. He also has job offers in Michigan, and hasn't discounted applying in Huntsville. So that is all up in the air at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I’m hoping to spend 2022 being super careful with my budget to show dh we can afford to get a camper for some nice 2023 trips. Neither one of us is all that adventurous, so I don’t see any cross country type trips happening. And I really, really, really like being home. So I just want to take my “home” and sit in different “backyards”, lol. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loowit Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 In the spring, we are planning to go to San Diego to see our DS's graduation from boot camp. Hopefully families will still be allowed.

I will stick to civilized places like beaches 😁 and let them go hike for snakes. I can only do.about two miles anyway due to my ankle which means I am always sticking to the "beaten" path, beginner trails anyway. You know, kids, strollers, etc...too crazy for the snakes.

It’s such a fun town. Have you been to Bozeman Hot Springs? If you camp there you can use the facilities for free which are nice. I think Wednesday and Sunday nights they have live music by the outdoor pools. It’s about 5 miles from Bozeman. If no one has told you yet, bears might still be on the trails in May, even in town. There were multiple bear sightings on the Galligator Trail in town end of July last year when we went. They almost always leave groups of noisy hikers alone, though. Costco usually has bear spray if you don’t bring your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have bear spray though with our hiking and camping gear. Because we are going in early May and the hiking trails may still be snowy, the boys are not planning on going very far. When we get to Badlands, that is a different story! I will be hanging out amused by the prairie dog cities, and they'll be off who knows where. I will have a companion, my eldest son who has never fully recovered from the car accident and walks with a cane. He sticks to the boardwalks and such.
