What do you have planned, tentatively or otherwise?
I have my annual January girls trip to Foxwoods, a long weekend in Boston in April, a week of RV camping at a Poconos resort in July, 8 days in Maine in August and possibly a girls trip to Nashville in September.

We are booked for Nashville with friends in March. Looking forward to a city adventure.
And then the only thing on the horizon beyond that is Disney early 2025.
We’ll probably fit something else in there. My family was supposed to do Costa Rica this year but that’s looking iffy now.
So maybe a cottage with friends in summer? Or a last minute all-inclusive with my parents?

I’m doing a quick trip home in January to celebrate my mom’s birthday and a best friends rainbow baby shower.
New Orleans in Feb for a girls trip.
My whole American family is coming for the Paris Olympics, so while that’s not travel I’m putting it under the travel umbrella due to all the logistics involved!
Southwest of France for a friends + kids trip in August - I think there will be 30 of us.
Annual UK soho house trip in the fall (usually just girls but this time we are inviting our H’s).
eta I forgot we are also doing a trip to Evian in February - mostly a family trip but staying at a resort that has nice restaurants and a spa so I’m excited!

DS is going to space camp in June, so DH and I will be hanging in AL for a week. I’ll take any recs for things for us to do.
In November DS and I will take a mother/son trip to Universal in FL.
I think there might be more travel in 2025 for us.

My husband seems to have a money tree that I am unaware of.
We are planning four says at Spring Training at the end of March.
Then he got tickets to see baseball in London in June.
He also seems to think we’re going back to the UK for a wedding a few weeks later.
We’ll see what actually pans out here.

So far the only actually booked trip is to my uncles place in February in SoFL.
We will likely do a north shore weekend in June for our anniversary. We also do an October trip every year but haven’t even begun to pick a place yet. On the short list is probably Seattle, Asheville, or NYC.

We’ve been talking about doing that this summer but I feel like maybe we’re already too late to plan it

The only thing solidly in the books is my trip with just H to London in January. We decided to book one night in Paris as well, so we will go for a day and a half or so there. I have never been, and it is a lot to squeeze in, but I’m excited!
I want to go somewhere for spring break, especially because we have a ton of airline points to use, but I can’t decide where. Summer plans are on hold also, because of potential softball All Stars, but we may be going back to Montana for a week or so. H’s aunt invited us back.

Besides a couple local long weekend situations I only have a ski trip in February and DC in April actually set so far.
We’re talking about an Alaskan cruise for the summer and we always do a week in Colorado but nothing in stone.
Looks like Chicago with DS’s best friend’s family for his Fall break. We aren’t super close to them but our school has a unique calendar so we either travel with school friends or just us.

I’m starting to get into planning for next year. I love the planning part.
We’re going home to DC for spring break, our favorite fancy ranch for 4th of July, and my H wants to do a family trip to Maine, cause he travels there a lot for work and the rest of us haven’t been. We’ll either go in July or October. Whichever one of those times we don’t go to Maine, we’ll make a trip to Austin. My oldest has a weeklong trip with her Girl Scout troop in May, and I volunteered to chaperone so maybe going to Savannah with them, too.

Planning a spring training trip in late Feb - first time taking DS.
Tentative Hawaii for spring break. I want to go to the big island for the first time.
Not sure beyond that but I have so many ideas. I really want to go to Japan with DS in the summer but I’m still working on convincing H.
I need to plan a weekend away for H and I. I would love to do Vancouver or another west coast city and ideally wrap it in with a concert of some sort.

We’re doing Disney/Universal in February, it’s the kids’ big Christmas gift this year. We’ve never been and I already hate the planning part.
Michigan in July to see family, we do this every year. I want to do some touristy things this time.
There’s talk of a girls trip to Vegas in May but nothing set. I went earlier this month with the women from H’s family and it was so lame that I need a do-over.

Love their Science Centre, Stanley Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Granville Island. Some areas of downtown aren’t the safest. But with a little bit of planning it would be a great spot. emma might have thoughts for you….

This is going to be a big travel year for us! It’s the only thing MH likes spending money on. 😆
Cabo in Jan for the two of us as a belated 10th anniversary trip. We will definitely go whale watching, so let me know if anyone has recommendations for a good guide.
All of us go to Playa del Carmen in Feb with H’s side.
We are going with friends to Marco Island, FL in March over spring break.
I’m trying to coordinate a trip with my side of the family to Hot Springs, Arkansas in June or July, but TBD if that pans out.
H and I are also going to France with friends in October. We have a place to stay in Marseilles, and I think we will try to tack a few extra days on to go to Barcelona as well.

In June we are going on an Alaskan cruise tour that includes 3 days on land after the cruise. SweetPotato we just booked a week or two ago. It was more expensive than it would have been if we booked early but we were able to get a mini-suite and the excursions we wanted. We have nothing else planned but if the Premier League does a summer US tour again, we will be going. We will also do NYC on the spring or fall, which we do annually.

We are taking the kids to Madrid, London, and Paris this summer. It will be our first trip to Europe all together (DDs are 9 and 12). I have never been to London or Paris. We are so excited! If anyone has any tips or recommendations I’m all ears. We are just doing two nights in Madrid, then a week in London and Paris (early July, before Olympics start). We have two places booked in Paris at that moment but if you have other recs jaidit please let me know. We have booked Hotel Harvey and also Hotel de La Motte Picquet. If you have any opinions about location of those hotels let me know too.

She had insane amazing photos and she loved the accommodations there. And she said the staff was incredible.

Fun! So far only 2 trips fully booked- Skiing Vail over New Years Skiing Whistler for Spring Break Half booked- one way tix to Vienna for my older daughter and me late June but just found out some scheduling conflicts with my younger daughter and I might need to cancel. Older dd is going to be devastated. We'll do something else late July but not sure it will be Europe with the Olympics. I'd love to make a trip to Asia but I hate traveling when it's hot. Likely a girls trip in Feb. and I'm pushing for Palm Beach. Fall break plans and on to be determined

We have a wedding in the DR and owe my ILs a visit so it feels like most of our travel has been pre-selected for us. We’re working on a big South Korea/Japan/Tokyo Disney trip in 2025 so 2024 needs to be a bit chill. We’d like to spend a week at the beach with another family -if you’ve got any recommendations for a midatlantic-ish beach that has cute, relaxed vibes and maybe a good aquarium, I’m all ears. Big boardwalks and high rises are not the vibes are are looking for.
