are plans of going to South Florida in December fell through, so we are having to make new plans. so far we are leaning towards NYC, San Fransisco, or somewhere tropical like mexico or somewhere else in the carribean. We are gonna go the week before X-mas, so we kinda leaning towards NYC but are still looking for ideas. Any suggestions?
THANX!

 

[LordOpie]

wow, you two are my heros. Getting married in exotic places, taking vacations, biking together, having sex.

All inclusive resort in Jamaica... chillin' to the max. If you can afford it, it's pricey. Or a cruise to Bahamas. Go to the waterpark where you slide thru a transparent tube thru a shark tank!

 

[RideND]

Well, you southerners might like that snow stuff but I would rather go somewhere were it is warm and sunny. I pick you go to Hawaii but that might get a little expensive.

 

[biggins]

yeah man screw going to nyc. wander around the city all week in the snow, lame. lol. uhm i would go somewhere warm.

 

[bella]

nyc i at christmas time has teh whole christmasy thing going on so its cool but its also cold and snowy and the shopping frenzy is in full effect. so it may not be the best time to do nyc

 

[biggins]

however i am a fan of the fall/winter/spring seasons and the riding here is wayyyy better in the winter in my opinion

Why not make new plans to go to S FL? That time of year is really nice down here. Hit the Keys or something. You can always fly to Miami or Ft Lauderdale pretty cheaply and rent a car.

NYC during the holidays is a blast, my wife and I have gone every year since we met. Yeah, it's cold as hell... but the city is so alive and there are so many things to do that you'll barely notice it. Just dress warmly!!!

 

[TN]

yeah we are kinda tryin' to keep it on the cheap tip. Jamaica is a possibilty but still kinda expensive & Hawaii (sp?) is deffinetly too expensive. We can go to Mexico (cancun, cozumel, isle mujeres) cheap and NYC is gonna be decent too, I found airfare for $215 roundtrip & we wouldnt need a car.

we thought about going skiing...well going to learn to ski (more likely snowboarding) but that seems out of our budget plus dont you have to buy a bunch snow clothes & stuff?

 

[DVNT]

Vegas anyone???

Mexico is a LOT of fun...it's really pretty there too...I've been to Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas...Cabo kicked ASS...beautiful there and it's a lot of fun. I'm heading to Cancun in November...that's on the Carribean side of Mexico...never been there but I heard it's really fun and there are tons of things to do there...Oh and the locals are all very nice...they may hate us, who knows, but at least they aren't a dick to your face when they're taking your money like SOME places I've been...

 

[biggins]

one warning however, if you go to nyc remember that everything is way expensive compared to what we have here in the south. hotels and everything are rediculous especially around x-mas.

well, my parents just moved to Pompano Beach, so while our trip down there in Dec. fell through, we are deffinetly going down there in Feb or March.

Biggins-I tried for Pisgah believe me.

We just got back from Vegas, although I wouldnt mind parking it at the Hard Rock's pool for a week.

DH_girlie-you will enjoy Cancun, just be sure your liver is ready . there are several day trips from there you should do too, if you have time.
It is hard to resist Cancun b/c we can go to a all-inclusive resort for supa cheap & whats better than free alcohol?

 

[stosh]

You shouldn't knock NYC in Dec till you've tried it. It usually isn't to cold by then and it's a beautiful place around the holidays.

 

[SkaredShtles]

<snip> whats better than free alcohol?

Good alcohol...........

-S.S.-

you aint lyin'. i was pricing hotels & if we go there we are not going to be able stay for 7 days & we sure as hell cant afford to stay in Soho...es muy $$$$$.

 

[pixelninja]

so far we are leaning towards NYC, San Fransisco, or somewhere tropical like mexico or somewhere else in the carribean.

My vote would be for tropical. And all-inclusive if you can swing it. That's the way the wife and I are going to do it for our next vacation.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to it...we're going to xel-ha, isle mujeres, chitchen itza...and the pool bar at the hotel we're staying at (Fiesta Americana Grand Coral) looks so fun! I can't wait...

NYC is really the only place that is getting me excited. I have never been & have always wanted to go during x-mas.

we will check that out when we go down in feb/march. I think we stopped there for a day on our way to the Keys a few years ago. I bought the biggest avacado I have seen in outside Marathon. it was as big as my head & made a huge batch guac with it. damn, now i want to go down south now.

 

[MTB_Rob_NC]

Haha... I bought my current house in 2001. I have always liked the tree in the back yard. However for the first time since I have lived there I realized it is an Avacado tree. So now it is freaking fruiting and droping Avacado's all over my backyard. I couldnt figure out why my dog would go outside and not come back in after he was done doing his business. He was busy munching on them!

When you come down, let me know you can have all the fruit you can carry.

I'd be eating guacamoli all the time.

So you like it, but can't spell it. It is one of the nasty looking foods I will eat.

Spelling smelling!!!

Shouldn't you be on your way to a pedicure?

 

[SkaredShtles]

What's all this yammering on about tropical this and laying on the beach that........?? What the hell's wrong with you people. In December, they could actually be putting their snorkels to *good* use:

you dont need snow clothes. just dry clothes when ur done. oh and advil.

 

[narlus]

nyc is fun, esp if you like cities (and who doesn't?). tons to see, do, eat, drink and buy.

 

[pixelninja]

Yeah, you don't need snow clothes, but for a beginner snowboarder, a pair of waterproof shell pants (to slip over your ordinary warm clothes) is a really good idea. You'll be sitting on your butt quite a bit, and having a frozen ass does not make the experience much fun. You can pick up a pair of waterproof/beathable pants from Campmor for around $30 and up.

 

[SkaredShtles]

You don't need snow clothes if the weather is reasonably decent. But go to the NE or Colorado and get stuck with a week of <0F temperatures and you bet your a$$ you'd better have some "snow" clothes.

-S.S.-

 

[biggins]

i dont. i spent about 8 days outside of nyc, saw it from the highway on several of those days and had absolutely no desire to go there. when i go on vacation i dont wanna go to any city really.

could we go to a rave together? we could be PLUR buddies & pass out blo-pops & good vibes.

oh hale-frickin-lujah. the decision has been made. im booking the tickets now.

Yep but no trying to pull and fast moves on me by slipping some roofies in my drink.

 

[laura]

Well, you southerners might like that snow stuff but I would rather go somewhere were it is warm and sunny. I pick you go to Hawaii but that might get a little expensive.

i wanted some place warm and sunny too. with fruity drinks. ideally i would spend 7 days in a bathing suit.


new york sounds fun though. i've always wanted to go and the snow would be nice.

 

[stosh]

oh hale-frickin-lujah. the decision has been made. im booking the tickets now.

I figured it would make your decision easier one way or another.
