  • I was in Playa this past February. Good fun!

    I recommend Babe's for the giant frozen drinks. Karen's for the music and food. Lots of good places to eat, there's an Italian place catty-corner from the bank on 10th that's really good too.

    We went to Wal-Mart and bought a big sack of limes, a bottle of agave nectar and two bottles of Milagro and hung out by the beach most of the time. Also keep an eye out for bars that has 2-for-1 happy hour, you can get that deal pretty much any time of day if you ask the guy standing out front trying to get people to come in for it.

    Just got back from 6 days in Riviera Maya, Mexico for my friends wedding last week. That was beautiful. dcfaithful, Playa del Carmen is fucking beautiful. We went into town there from our resort (it was only 20-30 mins away) and it was really cool.

    I'm also goin to DC in June to see the White Sox play the Nationals. Pretty down on the Sox, but still love going to see your team play on the road.

    Other than that, most weekends are filling up with weddings, graduation parties and all that shit...

    Might be going on an Alaskan cruise in July.


    Alaska is most cool. We went last june. Make sure you take a eye cover, since it never gets dark that time of year. weird man. We only took a day cruise out of seward, but that was pretty cool.
    Will do. Thanks kid. Yeah, it's gonna be crazy with no nighttime. Hope I don't end up pulling an Al Pacino in that movie Insomnia. :lol::lol:

    My cousin and her boyfriend live in Seattle, they work for a cruise line and can get it really really cheap. Plus it gives me another excuse to visit the gorgeous Pacific northwest. Like another world out there.

    alaska is one of THE most amazing places on earth!
    we spent 10 days there for our honeymoon 18 years ago :? :lol: .....what a trip!


    as far as the sunlight/nighttime thing, i barely even noticed it, tho we were on a cruiseship and more lower alaska until we hit up ankorage.

    now, i went to visit one of my best friends in helsinki, finland back in 2001....and holy shit, she did not warn me about it (i thought it only effected northern finland) and it freaked me out! haha. did get to take an amazing hot-air balloon ride until midnight tho, and only looked like dusk by then!

    you will have a FANTASTIC time!
    would love to go back....someday....so mny places in the world to visit, so little time! :D
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Well, the Mexico trip that this thread was started for last summer happened and it ruled.

    This summer, we just don't have a lot of $ to make things happen. Got other stuff to take care of. We'll be taking a short trip to Denver at the beginning of next month, but I mean short like 3-4 days for a concert. Other than that, it looks like we'll be spending our summer hiking and camping in the Utah wilderness, as it is pretty much our backyard.

    I'm not a huge golfer, but a trip for golf (if you really enjoy it) I'm sure is amazing. Have a great time! :thumbup:

  • We went to Disneyland last month. I grew up in Orlando so it was cool to take the kids to the "other" Disney. While there my husband and I ate at 2nd Floor Food Art Drink in Huntington Beach and ordered the Nirvana burger and the Pearl Jammin pudding. Both were amazing.

    I am sure, that's a lot. I am looking forward to the quiet, beach, grilling and drinking. It will just be me, my girlfriend, my mom, my sister and her boyfriend, so its not as crazy and have a good size place so we can definitely get away.

    all the places down there are huge. this one had a lot of room for me to get away from them when i needed to. also had a pool. love relaxing pool side after a day at the beach. awesome way to ease into the evening with a few beers.

    Yeah, we're in corolla. I think we have a 5 bedroom for the 5 of us, so plenty of room. Some of the bigger ones are insane. We don't have a pool but have a hot tub and an awesome balcony right on the beach.
