wanderlust
I am seriously feeling the travel itch SO BAD. I wish wish WISH I could be going somewhere.. planning a vacation... anything.
We're going away next week as a birthday treat for Lucas's birthday instead of a birthday party (it's spring break and here it's TWO weeks which means i'll be losing my mind if we don't get out at least once lol) but.. i really REALLY wish I was planning an actual trip. Anyone have any trips lined up for this year?

No major trips for us this year, we're saving for Cheyanne's graduation trip to Disney in 2018. We'll spend time at our place at the lake this summer and we're doing a few overnight/2-night trips around New England to look at colleges (I can't believe we're at this stage!) but other than that I got nothing

My husbands family is coming at the end of May to visit for a week. We'll be doing some things for fun that is just around here. I'm really itching to go back to Disneyland though. We went in Nov. 2013 last and I'm so ready to go again. It probably won't happen this year, but hopefully next year for sure! This summer we may do a weekend trip somewhere, but not sure where yet.

We are headed to Key West next Friday for Spring Break. We love it down there.....go deep sea fishing, scuba and visit my favorite place on earth the Dry Tortugas (best National park ever!!!). It's a totally different side of Florida.

We are going to Washington DC/Baltimore next week... hubby has training on Saturday, so doing a little va-ca around that. Otherwise nothing other set... we will probably do something in the summer - like Denver. Saving up miles and money for Hawaii in 2017.

I am!! My first 'real' holiday in 15 years, since before marriage and kids. My boys and I (not hubby - he works for himself and won't take time off) are going camping in the Australian outback (Northern Territory) in July for 2 weeks... Ayers Rock (Uluru) and all that iconic Australian outback stuff. I'm so excited. It will be my boys' first time on a plane too.

The kids have 2 weeks of spring break too later in the month so I think we're going to go see the Grand Canyon. Moving all the time sucks but getting to see all the landmarks and attractions (within reasonable driving distance!)is my favorite part of being a military family.

We are planning for a trip to the newest Disneyland on Earth, the one in Shanghai, which will not open until mid June. We are going at the end of July though, so it will be a loooonggg wait!

Have fun on your "spring break trip" Kristin!
We are planning on a few days of getting away to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary ... we were going to take a "bigger" trip, but decided to help our son and DIL with remodeling their home, so the funds will go toward that instead of a big vacation for us ... I seriously don't mind. Just let me take some time away from work and I'm fine just being around home!

Oh I always want to plan new trips lol! We love to go camping here in Australia and there are so many free bush campsites so it's easy to just go away for a little bit!
Kim, we loved the outback! Especially the Kings Canyon hike is amazing!

We're going to San Diego the first week of April. It has been a LONG time coming - oddly right now I don't feel SUPER antsy but last fall/early winter was REALLY bad for me. Like I was actually depressed at the thought of not traveling anywhere. Maybe that's why my husband agreed to actually plan something?!

we are spending the summer doing home improvement like a new roof, fence, etc. So no vacation. But I'm already planning and saving for our March 2017 Disneyworld vacation!! We haven't been on a vacation in years, so I'm excited! I think in 2018 we might do San Diego. I grew up there and would love to see it again.

This year's "big" trip is to a place in Australia called the Gold Coast. It has lots of beaches, theme parks, etc. My son has been asking to go since this time last year and it's been almost 15 years since I went there last. I'm hoping to hire a car and explore away from the coast too, but it ultimately depends on time since we need to organize a cat sitter for big trips. Either way I'm looking forward to it, especially after the last couple of weeks!

We are visting family in Miami in July - and making it to key West for a few days from there...and also visiting the Dry Tortugas while we are there. Also hoping to go to Disneyland for a day for our 25th! The only we manage though is staying with family - hotels just make trips too expensive! And we always drive (except to CA - just too far!!)

Ha! Definitely not.
My dad would prefer that people were born at 18 years old so they already knew how to sit still and be silent for hours at a time & especially when he is watching TV. He'd rather stick a fork in his eye than take a 2-year-old and a 7-year-old on a vacation to anywhere... let alone a 2 week cruise.

We have nothing planned for this year except going to the lake in Vermont for a week in July with the grandparents. I am trying to talk my husband into Disney World in May. It's hard to find a time to go when our kids are not in school and it's not too busy or too hot! We shall see.... One can hope and dream, right?!

Nothing planned for us, at least I hope not! We just got done moving cross country, going to Disneyworld for a week and visiting the IL's in Michigan for a week--I'm done for a little bit to recoup and unpack the house!

I know this probably sounds lame... but I don't get the itch to travel too much? Here in South Florida I feel like I live in paradise, there's so much to do all year round. The only time I get the urge to be somewhere else is in hot July & August. It's killer. It's around then that I think about a getaway to visit my family in New York in the summer... they have fantastic weather then, but funny enough THEY come here that time of the year! LOL So, we don't travel much.

I would probably be the same! You don't have the itch because you're already living in vacation-land lol.

I'd love to be on a cruise somewhere, anywhere. But there is no way we can spend money like that this year. If I win the lottery though I'll be booking a cruise pretty quick. Our dream is to do the Panama Canal but its way too expensive for us, especially now that our dollar sucks (Canadian dollar).

I soo soo badly wanted to go on a trip as well, since I've been at home for more than a year now since my husband went abroad for work. And it's so hot here today since the beginning of March. But I can't just do that since it's only my daughter and I, I'm going to ask my sister and brother to come with us just so we could be safe but it will take weeks to do that because they kind of need to apply for a vacation leave etc...

We are tagging along with my husband to DC Friday for a trip he has for work and then spending Saturday exploring. Spring break for the kids is the end of the month - we want to do something, but can't make plans right now as his schedule is too uncertain for the next three weeks. This summer we are going to hopefully head to MN to visit family with a stop in WV to see more family. If my husband is home and can go, that will be the trip. If he is gone and we don't have to worry about his leave schedule I think the kids and I may also go further west to Mt. Rushmore while we are out there before heading back to VA.

I get wanderlust every year around this time too. Like you said, KCB, I''m pretty sure it's a winter blues situation.
 Unfortunately, we don't have any super awesome trips planned. We always go to the beach for a week in July with the entire family, and I'm definitely grateful to be able to do that, but I would LOVE to plan something special (Hawaii, Europe, Cali, and the Dominican Republic are all on my list). Now...I just need to win the lottery or something.

I feel the itch to travel so badly I'm considering ditching my husband at home with the kids and just go away with whomever wants to come along. My last vacation was last summer when I took the kids to France along with my parents and brother. But even if they were a great help, it was still me who had to be there for the kids all day. No real vacation since the kids were born 4 years ago (first one). I need two trips, one for exploring a big city and shopping, then one to a distant and exotic land where I can just lie on the beach and relax.

Vacation planned for Gulf Shores, Alabama at the end of July. We are going with my daughter, her hubby, 3 grandkids (11, 8 & 6). We rented a beach house with a beautiful view of the ocean. So excited.
We usually go to Pigeon Forge every year. I think we will try and go in October this year to see the leaves changing.
