Lets hear about your vacation...

That's going to be the difficult part. I'm only taking three pairs of jeans (including one pair that I will be wearing, so I only have to pack two pairs). I'll take maybe 3 T-shirts and 1 long sleeved shirt. We will be doing laundry at least every third day.
He bought these packs that go in the side packs on the bike so we can fill them up and just stick them in. It will be nice when we get to places because you just pull the whole pack out and go. And as far as all my hair products.... I won't be taking much. But my hair will be in a ponytail or hat all the time anyway. I'll have helmet hair constantly. It's going to be tough, but I will manage.
I've attached a couple of pics of what our bike looks like.
The bike looks very similar to ours. And the other picture is a pic of just the tour pak on the back that is also my back rest. Bruce also got a custom seat (extra large for me!!). And then we have nets that we can strap things to the packs, like our leathers when we aren't wearing them. Bruce will figure it out. The only thing that bums me out is I can't pick up too many souvenirs.

That sounds like it will be fun, I picture you now riding back home holding bags of souvenirs.

LOL, you might be right! I collect souvenir bells. Those are breakable so I'll have to figure it out.

Some stores will probably be willing to ship them home for you.

Sounds like everyone has some great plans.

I had originally planned a small road trip for this summer, but it looks like that won't pan out this year... Hopefully I can do it in the spring.

My sister and I did play around in Northwest Arkansas for a few days.





It was a good trip... I was very pleased that the weather cooperated!

I went on a trip to Disney World over spring break and went to Washington DC for the 4th of July weekend...no more big plans for this summer. Although I am going to Warped tour in Oceanport, NJ on SUNDAY! I plan to spend my days off at the Jersey shore..right where I belong.

My wife and I have been going to the Shades of the Past car show in Pigeon Forge, TN for at least 10 years. It is the second week in September so we will be going up on Monday and come back on Sunday. Pigeon Forge is wall to wall Street Rods for the whole week so we have started staying in Townsend, Tenn which is several miles away from the
crowd and we only go into Pigeon Forge at night when everyone is cruising the strip. We get to enjoy the mountains during the day and I may do a little biking, as in Bicycle. We Usually rent the same mountain cabin every year because Koko is welcome there.

I should be in Poznan, Poland right now! The trip turned out to be much more than we had anticipated, so we couldn't go. Instead we took a trip to Disney World in Orlando last March. Maybe we'll get to go to the Grand Canyon this fall. Both trips still won't cost half as much as Poland was going to cost.

In September, the 4 of us (hubby, me, daughter and doggy) are going to Maine for TEN days! We have rented a house that is right on the ocean, and we are going to plan 4 or 5 day trips. We rented this same house last year, and it is gorgeous with beautiful views from the master bedroom.

No vacation at all here, instead, a lot of extra work while my co-workers are on vacation.

Had this one week in June, but right in the middle of it, I was called to come to the office for a special job which ruined my vacation completely. My next vacation won't be before November, and I hope they won't disturb my peace another time!

Happy vacations to everyone!

I just had a last minute mini vacation last weekend. Decided the sunday or monday before that we were going to leave on friday after work to head up to Yellowstone. Spent Saturday at yellowstone, Sunday at the Tetons, and went white water rafting in Jackson monday then headed home. It was a blast. I've been on a couple of short camping trips too. Not sure what else will be in store, school starts in august so I need to get the fun in before that.
