Richard, you will love Alaska. I went there (in July as well) a few years ago. Make sure you take a jacket, you'll still need it even in July.

Thanks for the tip David, everything I have read on the internet says to dress in layers there, so I am prepared for a little cool weather.
But as long as I have my camera with me I am good to go.

I"m not a golfer either, but there are a couple of times I've been near golf courses that were so incredible I wished I did play. The first time was St. Andrews in Scotland, the 2nd time was Princeville in Kauai.

About 20 years ago I spent a good part of a summer photographing the Bel Air Country Club for a coffee table book. It ranks pretty highly up there as well, an incredible property in the midst of the city.

I may be going to Madrid this fall. I happen to know a couple that lives there and was invited. She's Spanish and he's British.

I am envious. I spent a couple of years there in boarding school while a teenager. I loved it. The Prado is amazing and Plaza de Toros is a must.

My wife and I have been there several times and really enjoy Spain. If you have time, a day trip to Segovia, Avila or Toledo would be worth it.

Just booked Antarctica for December. I'm pretty excited as it completes the 7 continents for me. I also was able to get onto an expedition so I get to actually camp on the ice (as opposed to sleeping back on the ship).

That's awesome. Is that one of those National Geographic trips?

I looked into those and it's sort of on my bucket list, but I don't think I'd survive the boat trip on that tiny ship. Sea sickness being a curse of mine.

I am not a golfer , I follow Mark Twain when it comes to golf (good walk spoiled) but Scotland is supposed to be absolutely beautiful. I was in London for a two week vacation about 10 years ago and my one regret was that I did not get over to Scotland.

My dream golf trip would be to Ireland and unfortunately missed out last June when my brother went for about 10 days and he was already planning his next trip there before he got back. He did share some photos and they were beautiful. Here is one of Royal County Down.

Jeff, you might look in to an Ireland trip some time.

Ball's Pyramid is on my bucket list. My favorite place is home sweet home, which is where I'll be this summer. Aloha, Dave.

This year my son and daughter are running their first marathons, in Baltimore, and I'll be pacing them. Could be the greatest vacation ever.

We went to Tybee Island Georgia this year over Spring Break, and it was beautiful and fun.

Next year, I don't know, I was thinking of Door County, Wisconsin, has anybody been there in July?
