friesman Posted October 22, 2010 Share #1 Posted October 22, 2010 Its that time of year again! Its time to book a winter vacation! THis year Joanne and I and a few friends have booked a 9 day cruise leaving out of Miami in January. We are on the Norwegian Dawn and cruising to Samana in the Dominican, St Kitts, Tortola, St. John's Antigua and a few other spots I cant remember right now. Ive never been on a cruise before and am looking forward to it! We are in Miami a couple of days early to wander around at see what is happening in Miami. I know its not a bike vacation, but it gets darn hard to plan a bike vacation in Dec, Jan and Feb, which are the only months I didnt ride my bike last year. So does anyone else have plans to get away over the winter bRIAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HALRSV99 Posted October 22, 2010 Share #5 Posted October 22, 2010 Gayle and myself will be in Hawaii for 2 weeks during her birthday in Feb.

Hummingbird Posted October 22, 2010 Share #6 Posted October 22, 2010 We will do our annual trip to Florida. We go every year, usually in December and seldom take the bike. We used to drag the boat down and go fishing a couple days but found a neighbor that has one big enough we can go out into the Gulf. I think this year I'm going to take the bike (on the Rampage [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrR-yvHJnRc]YouTube - Rampage Lift Works Great for any BIG Bike or motorcycle in and out of your pick up truck[/ame] ) and ride a little bit.

WE did the eastern Carribian out of Galveston on NCL a few years ago, and the ride was as entertaining as the shore leaves. Freestyle is the only way to go. Don't go if you're on a diet....

515Rod Posted October 22, 2010 Share #14 Posted October 22, 2010 Went on a cruise a few years back. It was one of the most enjoyable vacations we've had. The only problem is that they feed you all the time. Had to be careful not to over do it and gain to much weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader Posted October 23, 2010 Share #18 Posted October 23, 2010 I'm newly retired....every day is a vacation! But "planned" vacations usually take money...so I think this year my wife and I will just stay home and I'll work on my bikes (which also usually takes money!)

sarges46 Posted October 23, 2010 Share #20 Posted October 23, 2010 Gord, Laura and Marilyn and I are heading to The Dominican this year. They gave us a week of their time share because they figured they would not use all the weeks they have. We are going Jan. 25 but only for a week, Puerto Playta (sp). It should be fun....beach, rum drinks and food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycatt Posted October 23, 2010 Share #21 Posted October 23, 2010 What's a "vacation"? I think I might have seen one years ago when the economy was good, but it's a very faint memory now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
