I've noticed a lot of threads since I've been here saying they went somewhere for summer. Some of those threads are probably old already and are buried under other threads. why not post here if you went on vacation.

Myself, I went to Las Vegas a week before I registered here. My family which includes me, my mom, my sister, and my sister's boyfriend left for Las Vegas on my sister's 21st birthday which you probably know what it means. We stayed there for 5 days at the Circus Circus Hotel and visited some places like Hoover Dam. Everyone else also spend a lot of time gambling except me because I'm only 15. In the end, I had a great time
and have a lot of photos to look at. Anyone else went on vacation?

My vacation?
~(o_o)~NOTHING ~(o_o)~
I've been on like, three vacations in my life. It definitely wasn't going to change this summer. I couldn't even enjoy summer like usual because my mom demanded that I watch my brother constantly, so she doesn't have to pay for daycare. I didn't even get to sleep in. That sucked. Where's my break?

not that i'm bitter.

Thats about the size of it for me, Yoshi Dude. I've only been on vacation like three or four times, and they were all to California because I have family there.

This summer I haven't been anywhere for vacation. Last year we kinda went overboard with the money spending, and our funds didn't allow it. Plus, vacationing is such a pain in the bottom. I mean, its fun when you get there, but the packing and the plane ride, then the unpacking, and another plane ride... Blah.

I'd really like to go to New York during one of these upcoming summers. I think it'd be fun, and we do have a couple distant relations there...

Not this year, no. I thought I'd be WORKING anyways. *rolls eyes*

Closest I come to a vacation is heading to Ontario in early October for a wedding. Basically everyone's just come here this year and not the other way around.

I went out camping and visiting with my dad. It was hell, like any time spent with him, but I got a ton of cash out of it and actually found a place to buy the computer parts I needed.

I went to Mallorca (a rather popular island in the Mediterranean) for 10 days,
and after 6 days of interruption, I visited a Russian maths camp for two and a half weeks (from which I just returned yesterday - being at an internet cafe in St.Petersburg right now). Two days in Helsinki (Finland) to go, then I shall be back home.

Well I went to Normandie in France. Met this really nice girl and went swimming everyday. You should check out the tides in that area. Largest in the world. It goes out by 2 miles. Shame I will probably never see that girl again though.

Welcome to the United Kindom. We charge an unbeliveable amount of VAT, charge insane prices for petrol and have the best currency in the world and so make you guys (rest of the world) bankrupt just for coming on holiday here. And when we go to your countries its nice and cheap.

Dude... we have the postal systems, telephones, the freaking INTERNET. Never take (or in this case give) "I live out of town" as an answer!

Eh, I wouldn't care about the packing and stuff and the plane rides if i could go somewhere for vacation . We didn't go anywhere this year..just camping for like..3 days . IT wasn't really camping either though, it was in a lil room kinda like a motel. All you guys went to fancy countries . Uh..I went out of state once..to Reno which is just 3-4 hours away in the winter and summer. It's a nice ride in the winter with all the purdy snow . I don't see snow much so it was nice . Went to LA last year and it was really fun.

I'd like to go to New York one day too..but it seems ugly..well the city does. Im sure there's more to New York than that.

Not to make anything better is the fact that the dollar is so weak lately. I mean, a salad would end being 10 bucks it was ridiculous. I ended up going to the grocerys store and buying things instead of eating out.

Have to say though, I liked it better over there despite the expensive costs. Theres alot of good hardcore bands down there too. Cant wait till I go to England and Scotland next year. (not paying for it either )

I wished I went on vacation if I had a job or if my dad made enough money to go on vacation. Then I would go to Vancouver or go camping or something fun.

Yeah, New York does look pretty ugly. Thats kinda why I want to go. Up where I live, we have like lots of mountains and grass, but in New York its probably like lotsa cement and stuff. I think it'd be fun to see how other people live.

I went to New York 3 years ago. The only ugly thing I saw was mostly the subway stations. I hated riding the subway because it was so ugly down there.

Eh, I see both cement and grassy stuff here in Cali so it's all good. New York City on MTV just looked dark and gloomy to me and dirty but San Francisco and LA have dirty streets..here too are some but I want to compare them to New York now. Plus they have sexy people there XD

In terms of vacation with family? God that's been a while. Though, most of the ones pre-divorce weren't all that great. The only one that was really good was Disney/Cruise and the Cruise rocked...but I think it was more because I wasn't spending time with my folks more than other people my age.

If anything else, I owned the arcade during that time. It was great.

I went back to Japan for a little while this summer. I went to go see mom and my sister, I have not seen them a whole year! It was so much fun and I was reminded how beautiful our part of Kyoto is Me, mom, Lilly, and my uncle Ken played some multi-player DS (Bomber Man!) and I stayed up very late pictochatting with my sister one night between our bedrooms. My mom also bought me Nintendogs before I left ^^; After I got back, I worked at the restaurant my auntie waitresses at for a little bit so I could make some money for videogames. I had a very nice summer

I stayed in Columbus and took classes all summer. But now that classes are ending, I'm going to Seattle (PAX, woot!), and after that, I have 3 more weeks, so who knows? Me and my dad might swing up to Windsor or something.
