Really, is that how you justify burning all that fuel and creating a huge carbon footprint for your selfish tourist joyride. Why don't you stay home and help your neighbors? Liberals are the biggest hypocrites.:laugh2:

[jackass]

Myrtle Beach for a long weekend with friends. Probably Virginia and New Jersey for a little bit. Hopefully we can sneak off with Abbey on her annual trip to Maine! :D

We will be in VA for the college road trip. Perhaps our paths will cross on I-95.

Maine will be reading, canoeing, shopping for antiques, a little golf, a lot of lobster, many board games, walks in the woods, and especially, a lot of just "looking at the lake". Does that sound appealing to a young, strapping, studly guy like you? :) :beer:

[5stringJeff]

Driving down to Atlanta ahead of the moving van.

Oh that was me (Jackass) who said we were going to sneak off with you!! :laugh2::laugh2:

Yes...it all sounds very cool! I can wait to get to Maine. One day.

What college in va?

[Noir]

I'll be spending most of the summer going between home and england to my girlfriends, would also like to go abroad with her aswell tho, either France or the Netherlands.

We will be touring UVA, and William & Mary. But what we really should be touring is Fort Knox to get money to pay for it.

What does that have to do with ANYTHING? Sure utter bitterness. :rolleyes:

I will go back to being liberal after all our relatives and friends get to meet my daughter. And not before. :p

[AFbombloader]

I will be flying from Seoul to Indy for my midtour break from South Korea and then driving to Tennessee and Michigan. Unfortunately I will have to come back to this god forsaken country for a few more months untill I retire.

How convenient for you, jump back and forth and because you are a true liberal at heart, one married into money......... you see nothing wrong with anything you do, just what others do........ typical. I believe like Obammy, Algore, Teddy Boy and all of the rest of the shits out there, it's "Do what I say, Not as I do" ..... right Gabby? Yea right.

Grow up, you're a Mother and need to teach your kid real values, not the childish crap that the Liberal Party stands for.

Well my son has great summer travel plans. We're sending him to Finland to visit my sister for 2 weeks.

Other than that we'll be camping off and on all summer. We are still thinking about driving down to Tennessee for a family get together, but that's still up in the air.

Planning on taking the kids and two of their friends on a car camping trip through 4WD country in the western NC mountains. We'll do some hiking, swimming and fishing. I'm planning on setting up a solar shower on the roof of the Expedition. Maybe I'll take the canoe too.

My actual retirement date is 1 Feb 09. I will leave Korea in the beginning of Nov for my terminal and permissive tdy (job and househunting). So I will have almost 90 days of "free" leave. I will have to go back to Korea for about 3 months.

Me and my wife will be going to Tombstone, AZ for a week in July to celebrate our anniversary. We love old western and mining towns.

[Kathianne]

I'm hoping to be able to not work this summer. Time will tell. ;)

We stopped at Tombstone on our graduation trip in 2002. I would definitely recommend it. Definitely put aside a day for it, since there are a lot of things to see. The town has been very authentically recreated.

Were pretty much going to spend the whole week there. Were staying right in town for the week. We were there a full day last year but it just wasn't enough time to see everything and do everything.

We went to several mining and western towns last year. We went from L.A. to the Grand Canyon and then worked our way down to Houston via old towns.

You mean "restored"?

[gabosaurus]

I didn't mean "restored" because most of the older structures were not still around. Tombstone was recreated using old maps, diagrams, photos and illustrations. You should see Boot Hill. Every last gravestone and epitaph is there.
There are dirt roads, saloons, even horses tied up outside businesses. It's amazing.

Bin there sweetheart. I can tell the difference between the real thing and Disney:


Boot Hill Graveyard is a must. The cemetery holds the graves of many of Tombstone's bad men, as well as most of the early settlers of the mining camp. Most of the historic buildings are along the boardwalks that line Allen Street, one block west of the highway. Gunfights and barroom brawls are staged along Allen Street on several Sundays each month. The Bird Cage Theater, from 1881 the home of bawdy entertainment -- a dance hall, saloon, theater, brothel and gambling house -- has no performances today but is open for tours. Bullet holes score the theater's old walls.

The Crystal Palace Saloon is an 1879 watering hole and gambling den that has been faithfully restored; the long back-bar is not the original but a fine replica. The saloon is open daily for drinking and eating, with entertainment on weekends.

O.K. Corral and Historama provides a 30-minute presentation which re-creates Tombstone's early years with films and animated figures on a revolving stage. Next door to the Historama is the corral where it is said the legendary gunfight between the Earp and Clanton brothers and Doc Holliday took place (it didn't). The fight actually took place on what is now a vacant lot near the corral on Fremont St. There are life-sized figures that portray the five men (three dead and two wounded) during the gunfight. Nearby there are several other historic buildings including the photographic studio of C. S. Fly, which has a showing of historic photos. An admission fee is charged for these attractions.

An old 1880s home is now the Rose Tree Inn Museum. In the courtyard is a rose tree more than 100 years old -- reputed to be the world's largest. Covering a huge arbor (8,000 square feet) the old rose plant blooms each April.

A large brick structure at the corner of Toughnut and Third Streets, the Tombstone Courthouse was built in 1882. It's now a state historic park and museum filled with artifacts and photographs of the 1880s. The town gallows is on display in the courtyard, and the gift shop is the best place in town to buy books on the history of the town and region. You can visit the old offices of the Tombstone Epitaph -- now a museum -- to see how pioneer newspapers were produced and purchase a souvenir copy of the second-oldest continuously published paper in Arizona.
