Where are YOU going this summer?
 

Let's say from now until early September? Perhaps we will get trip ideas from each other's travel plans.

annual round the world trip

9 weeks started in St.Martin, Barbados, continuing onto Cyprus, Lebanon, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand, Cook Islands, Shanghai.

Have you been to Bangladesh before? I'm intrigued, but I once saw it referred to as "the only country with no hope" on FTalk, which makes it sound like a less than great vacation option.

Wow - I wish!

But can't complain too much: Hawaii, specifically Maui.

July: Long weekend in Lisbon
August: Annual return to the USA to visit Mom and Dad
September: Copenhagen, London then back home to Valencia for a week

Meh - I'm going nowhere. Still paying off some big trips from earlier this year (at least they're on a 0% interest card :cool:) If I'm lucky I'll take a day trip on Metro North to someplace in the Hudson Valley - I so have to get out of NYC for a bit it's not funny.

In the fall, though, I'm currently debating between Northern Ireland/Donegal and Uruguay. Or both if I'm feeling reckless with my money.

lol.. I fully expect that. Its only a 2 day stop - which I think will be enough of Dhaka. It cant be that much worse than India... right??

Currently in Sukhothai, Thailand and I'm about halfway through a five week trip through Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. I started in Bangkok, went to Kanchanaburi for a few days for WWII sights and then took the train up to Chiang Mai. Tomorrow I'm moving on to Ayutthaya for two nights and then I'm taking the night train to Koh Phangan for some beach bumming.

Following that I'll cross to border to Malaysia and spend a few days in Penang before moving on to Kuala Lumpur. Finally I'll wrap up my trip with a few days in Singapore :)

All this travel has been by train with a few buses thrown in. I flew here on a UA F award IAH-ORD-HKG (overnight)-BKK and I'm flying home SIN-DXB-DOH (overnight)-IAH in C on SQ and QR.

I'll be home for a month and then I'm heading to Mumbai for six weeks for work in early September.

;)

If you're going to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party, prepare to be underwhelmed.

For two days just about anywhere would be bearable I imagine. I think it COULD actually be quite a bit worse than India haha. I still want to go though...trip report?

Nope, not going to be anywhere near it. I won't even be on the island during that period. There's a beach resort on the other side of the island that a friend of mine loved and I'm going there on his recommendation.

Road trip to Cape Cod from the mid west. I'll stop and see some relatives on the way back.

Already been, a week in England and a week in Ireland. I loved them both, ready to go somewhere new next year though.

I went a few years back, and after 122 countries so far...it's definitely still in my bottom 10 for having any desire to return to. Especially Dhaka. Ug.
