Who needs a vacation ?

Ok, so all this crappy weather has got me itching for vacation season to start and it is almost here. I just put in for my time off at work this morning and it has me ready to go. This is how I have mine laid out so far:

March - Spring training trip roadtrip to see the Phillies in Clearwater with 3 friends.

June - 9 days in North Myrtle with wife and kids + my friend and his wife. (This is 5 days after my wife gets back from a cruise with her friends - what a rough month it will be for her).

July - Week in NJ to visit family and friends. Phillies game, gambling in AC, searching for Snookie at Jersey Shore.

August - 4 day golf trip at the beach with some co-workers.

November - Possible Carribean cruise with wife and some "friends" (I use that term loosely)

This was supposed to be a get out of debt year for us but I am not so sure I see that happening.

So what do you have planned for this year?

Sounds like a nice year of vacations.

I am trying to get an April Scuba trip planned somewhere in the Caribbean with friends. We have four of us that go and dive. No wives....no kids....no problems.

Will add a week at the beach this summer with the kids...not sure when.

2 weeks in July in Columbia South America with the family. Have to go down to visit my Sister-In-law's family. My wife's brother married a girl from there. Many members of her family could not come up for the wedding this past summer. We are taking the entire family (proba bout 25 people) down there. Her family is renting us a 12 bedroom oceanfront villa to stay in.......they are loaded.

Wondering if her family is part of some Cartel....hmmmmm

If you were any kind of husband you would take the inlaws with you.

eww

I know...haven't been to North Myrtle in about 5 years.....6 bedroom house for free and it sits all by itself. Kids will love it and to be honest I think it will be fun. Not going to get into anything Myrtle Beach like other than maybe a couple of rounds of golf.....just hanging out with the family and friends on the beach during the day and grilling out and hanging by the pool with some cocktails at night.

We were going to try and do a Caribbean resort instead but this fell in our lap and will save about $3,500. Planning a trip for a family of 4 is outrageously expensive and honestly not something I can easily afford.

Ya as long as you stay away from the "strip" it's not so bad.

Myrtle Beach can be nice if you stay away from the touristy stuff... and if the stay is free...

no not at all......just got a good package when I was hired on. I get 7 weeks but that also incudes any sick time. I go to 8 weeks next year.

I take a lot of 3-4 day weekends throughout the year also because even what I have already planned still leaves me about 3 weeks to use. A couple of those trips are just 4 day weekend things. None of them are very expensive either because I have free places to stay at all of them (except for the cruise) since I have family or friend's places that we stay at.

      Tepper got fooled again

      I know it's not of popular opinion but at this time you cannot continue to dwell in & on  the problem any longer.no absolutely not  you have to get in the solution at the end of this season & you must set aside any emotional connection you have with this front office & current coaching staff .for years now & still this team is the worst team in the NFL showing no improvement not by accident you have to  hire a brand new GM put him in  charge of everything football related & i mean literally  everything & then GTFO out of the way as he brings in his own personal hand picked scouting department & hires his own coach & drafts the Qb of the future & most importantly creates an entirely brand new culture in Charlotte or keep what we are currently doing & accepting a different result...just saying

      Sometimes a franchise is just cursed. They’ve looked inept with every coach/gm/roster tepper has put on the field.  You’d think eventually they’d stumble on a good player or coach but nah.

      Pretty much where I am. I've basically reverted back to my pre-Peppers days when I had casual interest in the Panthers as the local team but there was just nothing there to draw me in and truly make me a fan and I was really more of just a general NFL fan watching the best game on at the time. Tepper has stripped away everything I loved about the Panthers. There's just nothing left. Like if you asked me my favorite current player I wouldn't even have an answer. Couldn't name the majority of the position coaches. Hell, probably couldn't name half the roster. I watched the Chiefs and Niners today during our time slot and I'm glad I did.
