A destination that is ... we go on these 'mini-vacations' every year (generally, about a week) ... we've been staying at resorts - everything for everyone and it's all convenient ... we take the in-laws with us ... This year - we're lookin' maybe 5 days ... San Antonio be okay - some nice places down there ... but - Where else? I need some ideas!
I been lookin' here ... anyone been there?
More ideas?
Please? :D
<drool>
Scottsdale, Arizona... prime golfing :D
I dunno... I'm really at a loss myself Lannie when it comes to "mini-vacations" - are you saying that Texas is not enough for you? ;)
so, you're taking the in-laws, and... one extra room for me, right?
Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon Utah, Valley of the Monuments... um, you're not near anything else I know...
take your in-laws to Mexico, lose them in the jungle down near Belize then find a tequila bar and stay there all week (sounds pretty good to me anyway :D )

Me? Say that? Never!!! <shame> for even suggesting that! ;) Texas is always more than enough - but since we do take the in-laws with us, I try to vary our outings a little ...
Sure G ... YOU convince Mr LanSite, k? ;)
:D
The Hyatt at Scottsdale looked really pretty - I mean just beautiful and that's the sort of thing I'm lookin' for ... I want to get mom in law some place nice and relaxing again this year ... Last year, we stayed at Hyatt Hill Country in San Antonio - was really nice - sittin' on the veranda readin' and sippin' iced tea ... There was something for everyone there ... Prior, we'd gone down to LaCantera which was okay, but the staff ... *ugh* yuck! Their staff sucked pondwater - don't want to repeat that type of experience again ...
So ... do we go back to Hyatt Hill Country or can someone scare up an equally enjoyable place?
:D
I would, Mr P, 'cept Mr LanSite In Law has sort of done this same thing to Mrs LanSite In Law ... she's on to the game, now ...Quote:

I'm not kidding ... he really did leave her behind lmfao Now, I think she's sewn at least a $20 bill into every undergarment she owns ;)

When it comes down to Arizona, all I can barely remember - my memory is rather hazy - of Arizona was UA and parts of Tuscon. Scottsdale is still nice though.
arizona?? whyyyyy. you must not be from the westcoast casue youd know arizona sucks. nothing compares to so cal. san fran. or vegas over here, unl;ess you go to alcapulco or cancun in mex.
How about here.

how 'bout here lanny?
LOL SeaWolf ... I said something *relaxing* (though, I have to admit ... "Migs over Moscow" might be a great stress reliever ;) )
Eulci ~ I'm not showing that to my husband - we'd probably end up going there :D
C'mon - no one else has any ideas?
Well, you can always come up to Jersey for a visit...;)
Actually, Colorado is a nice place, as is Canada..Montreal or Toronto are great places for vacations, I'm going back to Montreal this summer for a hockey league, but I'd go anyway as its a beautiful place to be.
Oh, my bad, you said a U.S. vacation..bah, Canada is close enough:pQuote:

Man - I cannot believe more people don't have ideas ... much as some of you US folk travel, you don't travel 'round your own danged country? ;)
:D
Well, I've been all along the East coast for a travelling hockey team, and its all nice:) From Buffalo to Miami, loved every minute of it! Name somewhere along the East (if you're interested) and I can tell you about it.
You in one of those family things? (cannot for the life of me think of what it's called ... starts with a 'b' ... billet? bullet? mullet?
All of the places I would tell you go would be up north, Lannie. I hate hot weather...

Thanks for that link, too ... we're still in the looking stage .... we're looking at that one - and some joint called Boulders or some such ... and some Kohler place in Wisconsin :confused: ...
Texas is a republic, that can be split into four(or 5) different states. Its in the texas legal papers. That is why it is so important that texas stays in the hands of consvatives.Quote:

austin is nice.
dallas sucks.
i officially am very bored.
I'm so bored, I'd mow our lawn if we had a lawn mower :eek:
Austin sucks - man, you ever been there? I can't stand Austin! *yuck!*
Dallas on the other hand ... I can cope :D
Austin: no haven't, going on word of mouth (translation: talking out of my rear as usual)Quote:

Dallas been there. not pretty, brown, dead.... smoggy....
I don't see how any area of land landlocked can justify its worth ;)
California's Central Coast, Big Sur, San Luis Obispo, maybe even Santa Cruz if you get too relaxed
Ahhh ... Well, be sure and go down San Antonio while you're there (it's about an hour from Austin) ... and the Austin thing, well - I just don't like that place - It was just ... I don't know - dirty, I think.Quote:

Dallas - well - I do live there, sort of ... I live on the outskirts - an area that isn't really 'landlocked' - but almost an island :D (looking at map) ... Not so smoggy, friendly, clean :D
I've always wanted to go to Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Around there. I'd take mountains and rivers over deserts and beaches aside from Moab.
Goto Moab:

There's alot to do there, like mountain biking, hiking, and rafting. And its alot prettier than the pictures, they don't do the place justice.
