Title: When is the last time you had a Vacation?
Post by: dcrotteau on October 09, 2012, 11:31:53 am
When is the last time you had a vacation and where did you go?  Me, I haven't had a real vacation since the mid eighties, we flew out to Colorado.  Beautiful state.  But since then I haven't really been anywhere, boring.   Oh well.   :peace:

I haven't had a real vacation since 2007. With all the financial problems I have had lately it hasn't been possible. Looking forward to that changing soon. Then I will definitely be booking a much needed vacation.

I take a vacation ever year.  In April I went to Dominican Republic.  In August I went to Spain.  I had another 2 weeks off in September for my birthday and wanted to go somewhere but I didn't.  Oh well.  I might go to Hawaii in December.  When I have enough time off I travel.  I love to travel and thankfully I work in the travel industry so it's easy and cheap for me to do.

Oh my me and my family just had a vacation in june. It was awesome. We went to lake erie and went to the great wolf lodge. That place was amazing for the kids and for me and my husband. We also took the ferry over to put-in-bay and spent the whole day there. It rained and thundered and when this happens try riding in a gulf cart it was awesome. We laughed so hard we go soaked while driving. I would suggest a vacation at put-in-bay. Amazing place to go. :thumbsup:

Traveled a minimum of three times a year for business with my former home based business. Most of those business trips were also mini vacations and some were full vacations. Went to places like Baltimore, MD, they have great sea food. Las Vegas, went to take a class, first time I was there and that far west. OKC in Oklahoma, was in their new basketball stadium. St. Louis, MS, saw the Golden Arches! NYC, been there many times but this was nicer in different hotels I always saw from outside. And many more places. Never won any sales trips, or I would have had trips outside of the US. Picked that business somewhat by accident; talking to a lady at "Good Will" store (it is like the Salvation Army store) one day in 2005. Starting another home based business with some of my FusionCash money. Start one yourself, business trips can be a tax write off. Go FusionCash!  :thumbsup: Lol, another reason to do FusionCash.  :heart:  :thumbsup:

My last real vacation was last Christmas with my in-laws. My husband and I can't go anywhere alone with our daughter because we don't make enough money. But we're okay with this vacation situation.

I haven't been able to get away for over two years now when I attended my family reunion in West Virginia. One of the best vacations was in 2006 when some of my family and I went to Virginia Beach, although I wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel that I stayed in overlooked the water. I do plan to save up to travel next year.

The last time I went on vacation was 3 years ago.  I have had vacation time off since then but stayed at home.  I was off last week for another one but I made 600 fried peach pies to sell at craft show next weekend.  I worked harder for my self then I did for Walmart.  But it will pay off in the end.  I will still have 4 days vacation I am going to take next spring.  Hope I can take a short trip then but will see how my money is.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

A real vacation...almost 10 years ago, but we go on short weekend getaways with the kids. But now that they are getting older and easier to travel with, I'm saving for a nice family vacation. one of the reasons I do FC and other sites is that all of the money I earn goes into the vacation fund.

Our last vacation was in March of 2009.

We usually go around that time every year but I had multiple eye surgeries starting in December 2010 and
could not fly for a while .. hopefully we will be able to afford one next year.

Last vacation for me has been more than seven years but since I got my newest job full time and great paying job, that will change here pretty soon.  I think I'll begin with a little weekend getaway in the mountains.

Last week we got back from New England where we visited Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine for 10 days. Ate Lobster until it came out our ears and saw lots of history unfolded for us. In December we will have another one to Las Vegas and next spring it's off to Charlotte, NC for a week. Last July I went fishing in Alaska for a week and we had a week at the beach in Long Beach Washington around the fourth. I think maybe I need a vacation from taking vacations.

3 weeks ago, took a driving tour through the northern part of the state, N.M. The mountains were beatiful. Went to the last indian pubelo that i had not been too and there were great. So now i have been to every point of the state , all of the state parks and national parks and everything in between. I can truly say our state is beatiful even with drought.

It's been awhile for me.  I went to the Bahamas for a week back in the 80s.  Now it seems like all I do is work and still don't have enough to get by.

Labor Day week we went to Williamsburg Va. It the type of place you can you to several times and not see the same thing. Lots of history.

A few weeks ago we spent a weekend at  the Delaware Beaches. Weather was great for mid September.
