Vacations?

[Fez Hammersticks]

Any plans?

In June I'll be driving down to Newport Beach for another wedding and plan to stay for a week. First time driving through California from Oregon.

 

[MARIS61]

Staying close to home this summer. Maybe Mt. Ranier and Mt. St. Helens, or Olympic National Park.

 

[Run BJM]

If you're into scenery and not in a rush and what not you can make it a nice drive through the redwoods, along the coast, etc. etc.

I'd just fly there though unless you're taking a big group of people.

Going to a wedding in July (not a vacation at all really but they've got hotel rooms booked) and then studying abroad in Florence in the fall. Going to Europe about 10 days early to travel.

Doing the 101 or I-5 route?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Going to Hawaii July 31st through August 6th. I've gone to Vegas the last three years and watched the NBA Summer League.. Doesn't look like there's gonna be one this year so not doing that. I may go to Denver for the 4th of July. My brother lives there with his wife and 2 kids.

 

[tlongII]

Sunriver May 18-23 and again July 15-25.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Spain in August. Don't have anything else really planned except sporadic trips to Vegas or San Diego over the summer.

Doing the 101 or I-5 route?

Rt. 1 is worth it if if never done before. I find the portion north of San Fran to be even prettier than the famous Big Sur section.

I would probably be doing the Oregon to Southern California a couple of times this summer.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Vegas - June 25-27
Cabo - 4th of july
Romania/Europe - All of August

Hell yeaaaa

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Doing the 101 or I-5 route?

I'll be taking the I-5 route. Have you taken either route from Oregon to So. Cal?

 

[MickZagger]

I'll be taking the I-5 route. Have you taken either route from Oregon to So. Cal?

Yup. I-5 if you want to get there with the quickness. 101 if want the scenic route.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Nothing big this year.

Myrtle Beach for a week with my friends and possibly Tenerife with the wife.

 

[Boob-No-More]

I'll be taking the I-5 route. Have you taken either route from Oregon to So. Cal?

I've driven the I-5 route many times. It's fast and efficient, but not scenic, especially once you get south of Lake Shasta. Be sure and hold your nose as you drive past the Caolinga feed lots!

The coastal route is infinitely more scenic. It's much slower going to begin with, and you will also be tempted to stop many, many times. I've driven it a couple times, once in each direction. There's a lot of great scenery, plus also some cool towns along the way. If you have the time, I'd recommend I-5 one way and the coast route the other.

BNM

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

I'm gonna go to Chicago, Cleveland/Columbus (July) and San Jose/San Francisco (Aug) to watch Timbers matches and to see old friends.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Going to the San Juans for a week.

 

[ABM]

Yup. I-5 if you want to get there with the quickness. 101 if want the scenic route.

and don't forget 1.

 

[maxiep]

We're going to spend a week in Oregon. Pretty low key.

 

[BrianFromWA]

with new job just started and a baby on the way, I'm thinking that my limited vacation days will be taken up.

I'm hoping to spend a week in Oregon. Since I live there, it doesn't seem like that should be asking too much.

[BrianFromWA]

You're a vacation overachiever. I'm jealous.

 

[STOMP]

I'm spending a week with my family in central France this summer where I'm looking forward to some fine meals and wine. I'm also really looking forward to a 12 hour layover in Amsterdam where I plan on taking in the Van Gogh museum.

I am semi-obsessed with the High Sierras and will be making as many weekend pilgrimages as possible. The attached pix are from a loop hike last summer out of the Mineral King trailhead

I'm also really looking forward to a 12 hour layover in Amsterdam where I plan on taking drugs in the Van Gogh museum.

Fixed that for you, there was a word missing.

[MickZagger]

Hiking doesn't do it for me. I need alcohol, great weather and a pool.

You can get all those things on a hike, if you plan correctly.

You speak Spanish?

ha! The only drug I might be on there is 5 hour energy as my layover is on the first leg of my vaca. I'm leaving SF 2PM and landing in Amsterdam at midnight our time/9AM their time. If I were to smoke pot I'd sleepwalk through the exhibit and then pass out on the first park bench I saw probably missing my next flight.

Actually, if anyone wants to recommend an over the counter sleep aid that will knock me out for my initial flight so I can be alert for the museum I'd appreciate it. I was thinking of taking a benadryl as thats knocked me out pretty good when I've taken it for allergies but there is probably something better

[MickZagger]

Tylenol PM?

 

[STOMP]

Tylenol PM?

I've never taken it... is there any sort of after affect haze? Again, I hope to just be knocked out for the flight and then as alert/clear-headed as possible. Thanks

STOMP

It's just acetaminophen (tylenol) and diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that is the active ingredient in Benadryl and other allergy medications. I have never noticed any after affect.

Nope!
