I would be comfortable with either of the events you mention, though would take the caution of not standing on a crowded sidewalk near traffic.The high profile events I attend are things like the Mayo Bowl in Charolette on Friday night and the Frozen Four (NCAA Hockey finals) in St Louis this year. Not worried about terrorist for those events. I would never go to Times Square (or anywhere else) for New Year's eve celebration.
Me neither. There are no bathrooms, and it is very hard to get out of there because of the crowds.I would be comfortable with either of the events you mention, though would take the caution of not standing on a crowded sidewalk near traffic.
Even though I grew up in New York City, I've never been to Times Square on New Year's Eve.
Did you see some aurora borealis?We just returned from an amazing week in Iceland. Our planned trip to Berlin in February was just cancelled, and after freezing in Iceland I would like to replace it with someplace warm. I am looking at a trip to Dubai, but open to other options.
Later this year we will spend a month in Scotland, and end the year/ start next year in Australia. A few smaller trips in between, probably Istanbul and Granada.
Great place to visit in the summer, particularly the mountains. Nice break from more southerly hot states. We really enjoy the nearby Blue Ridge mountains in North GA too. Ellijay and north very comfortable in summer.Looking at a trip to Tennessee this year. Perhaps Nashville, then Dollywood, then the Smoky mountains.
Yes, we did. Just as we were exiting the blue lagoon, we saw a red and green aurora. It was surreal, standing in the warm water, with fog coming off of it drifitng into the night sky, then the sky starts turning colors. Jaws dropped!Did you see some aurora borealis?
Yup that's the plan for August. About the time the summer heat starts getting a little weary.Great place to visit in the summer, particularly the mountains. Nice break from more southerly hot states.

January in Iceland? What to do there?We just returned from an amazing week in Iceland. Our planned trip to Berlin in February was just cancelled, and after freezing in Iceland I would like to replace it with someplace warm. I am looking at a trip to Dubai, but open to other options.

I took that same train trip 23 years ago and when I got off the train I felt like I was still rolling and felt a little dizzy. I had rode the train many times before but not for that many days.Tentative plans this year are multiple dive trips to the Philippines, Thailand, Okinawa and Hawaii. Trip to Europe to visit friends. Amtrak trip from San Francisco to Chicago. Maybe a baseball game in DC. Also Singapore because why not.
Sounds like too much work for me. I'd rather just watch it on YouTube!Finalizing most of our plans for 2025 as all airline reservations have been made except Nov and Dec 25/Jan 26.
Mar - 11 day Southern Caribbean cruise
Apr/May - 35 day dive trip to Bonaire
Jun - 7 days in Arkansas visiting two sons and their families
Sep - 10 days Hawaii including 7 day cruise
Dec/Jan - 14 Days Bonaire dive trip over Christmas and New Years
Waiting on word for FAM trip to Prague for 7 days in late Nov. DGF gets these low cost opportunities once in a while as she is a travel agent on a very limited basis.
That's why I'm taking July/Aug off.Sounds like too much work for me. I'd rather just watch it on YouTube!
We were in Sequoia some years back and enjoyed the hike in Cedar Grove. Nice drive through Kings Canyon to get there. Some info here: Cedar GroveJust decided to add some time in Sequoia NP prior to our trip to Yosemite the first week of June. The flights out there are so long we figured better do it while in the area!
Yippee! Has anyone hiked Moro Rock? I'm reading that it is short but really challenging since it's pretty much all stairs. Not sure these old legs (and especially hubby's knees) can take it! Not to mention, climbing it the day after coming from essentially 0 ft of elevation might not be wise.
What will you see and do in Des Moines?Midwest road trip will be my big trip as I knock a few more states off the map. Still working the exact itinerary but will try out a CampFI event in MN at the end of August. I've never been to one but have talked to folks in the FI community that have and all have raved about them. Not sure if it's for me but only one way to find out and I planned on hitting MN anyway.
Will probably leave 8/10-8/13 and get back to FL 9/15-20ish depending on how long I stay and if I add additional stops along the way. Current itinerary includes KY (Lexington and Louisville/Clarksville, IN), IN (Indianapolis), OH (Dayton Area and Cedar Pt), MI (Detroit/Kalamazoo area? and Mackinaw City), WI (Milwaukee and ??), MN (Minneapolis area), IA (Des Moines and Cedar Rapids) MO (Kansas City and St Louis), TN (Chattanooga). I'll probably step foot in Omaha too but won't go very far into Nebraska this trip.
I enjoy meeting people on my trips so if I'll be close feel free to message me (might get lost in this thread) and maybe we can meet up or you can share something neat to do in your town I wouldn't find on my own.
I don't know, haven't looked yet. My "rule" very loosely defined is I need to visit at least two places or do something significant in the state or spend a significant amount of time to mark the state off my map. I've not researched IA yet and other than Toppling Goliath Brewing not sure what might appeal (the Brewery is a bit out of the way). Capital Cities are usually interesting -at a minimum I can visit the Capitol or State museum; I realized on last year's trip, I've hit many so might try to incorporate more going forward but they are not a priority. Do you have any suggestions?What will you see and do in Des Moines?
It is a lot of steps... But I got my less than trim rear to the top. The views are great... So I just told myself I was checking out the views when I'd stop to rest. Yes, it's all stair steps.Just decided to add some time in Sequoia NP prior to our trip to Yosemite the first week of June.
