Last year, we stayed in Brooklyn and rode bikes around New York City for a week. We had no car. It was awesome.
I want to do a similar thing in Chicago this year. What are your vacation ideas? Not so much “the dream vacation that I want to do someday but can’t”, what do you want that you might do soon?

Home. All my stuff and various setups are at home. I just want to be at home and be allowed to relax.
boss can still reach you at home – while you have to deal with sunburn and malaria in exotic locales, you can at least claim lack of cell coverage for not answering your coworkers’ calls about how to load toner into the printer …

Nope, I’m not going to pick up their phone calls. I would be extra obnoxious about it when (if!) I come back to the office to discourage anyone who wants to try that on anyone else. I’ll tank the consequences; I got nothing to fucking lose.
A case of whiskey, fifty pounds of potatoes, ten pounds of onions, a cabin by a stream and a fly rod.
And nobody else.
I’m currently in Tokyo and will be going out to Kyoto and Osaka in a few days. Got to visit Mount Fuji and the giant gundam on odaiba.
I just got back from a trip to Costa Rica. It’s an amazing and beautiful country.
Tokyo. I’ve been studying my Japanese lessons and I can’t wait to ride their trains!
Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway
Switzerland, Norway, Italy, England, Scotland, New Zealand. Mostly Switzerland.
I feel like it would do wonders for my state of mind to go see the natural beauty the world has to offer.
I live just over the border from Switzerland and I can promise you, the vast majority of it is pretty flat and boring, and the price of everything is extremely off-putting after a while
That said, the two most surprising things about the Swiss is their fantastic wines and amazing coffee beans. Some of the vineyards near Geneva have been around since the Romans
The internet lied to me, I thought there would be fields and waterfalls, haha. The cost is indeed off-putting, I’m many many years off being able to afford the other places let alone Switzerland.
Colour me surprised about the coffee and wine though, I’ll have to stick those on my bucket list.
Silent Hill
Finland seems nice. I’d like to see the northern tiaga before climate change kills it all.
I’d like to see Mexico City, eat at restaurants and go to museums. We just got direct flights so hopefully soon.
I’m going there for the first time next month!
Buenos Aires. Always Buenos Aires.
Going to Utah this year. It has numerous national parks and other cool stuff in the desert.
It’s hard to answer because, although there are places I’d appreciate the intentions behind someone inviting me to, none of them are anything I’d seek out on my own. I feel like I could extract an equal amount of memories regardless of location assuming I wasn’t emotionally numb like I am now, as “fun” is a spontaneous thing. People have fun if they feel like they can.
I’m taking a somewhat unplanned trip to Pittsburgh this weekend.
We were supposed to be going to Detroit to see a relative’s new house, but the remodelers are there, so I had a day planned in Pittsburgh to break up the long drive back, but now it’s going to be the whole trip.
I’m stopping at the National Aviary and booked the private owl encounter so I can hold an owl! Greatly looking forward to that!
i had no idea there were owls out there making appointments
An owl would never make their own appointments… They’re the stars.
I made the appointment with its agent, naturally. 😝
National Aviary sounds very cool. Adding Pittsburgh to the list.
Probably Tongeren in Belgium or Monschau in Germany with a friend next month. I already went to Tongeren with my girlfriend in January and we enjoyed it.
We always do small trips for 2 days and book an appartement instead of a hotel. Here in South Limburg (the Netherlands), Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and France are really close, so mostly we drive less than an hour to visit the Eifel or Ardennes.
Would love to visit NYC, but I don’t like to travel public.
