Where are you going on vacation this year?

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.

Just got back from a dive trip in Jamaica, it was gorgeous!!

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.

Guys you've listed some awesome, exotic locations!
I hope this thread continues after your safe journeys home so you can all add a photo or two (Jon's shutter finger may be frozen)

My own vacation will start in in 8 days, going to the very exotic climes of northern Washington state.
Not too many miles since I live in SW Washington not far from Mt St Helens, but its always great to get more intimate with my adopted home state.

Be well...and safe

I'm actually going with Quark, but then got onto a Kazak research trip for the camping. Not looking forward to the 2-days across the Drake, but I usually do well with that sort of stuff (hopefully my bunk mate does as well).

Good luck. Sounds like a grand adventure. Are you going out of Argentina?

You got it... Leaving out of Ushuaia. I'll do a quick stop over in BA to visit a friend, but don't plan on spending more than a day there as I've been there in the past.

You probably have tried this, but my wife used Bonine for her seasickness, and on this Alaska trip, which included being on the water 4 different times, she was ok.
