Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for most of the summer, followed by two weeks at the **Pennsic War** and then possibly moving to San Diego. Quite nice.

All Summer - Drink beer, enjoy the sun, and char various edible animal flesh over metallic flame producing cooking tool. Late Summer - Moscow. It’ll be a good summer. 🙂 * * * The Sleeper has AWAKENED! ---

Depends on my highly unstable employment situation, but I hope to do the Great Northwest this July. Maybe France in '01—but again, it’s hard for me to plan more than five minutes into the future. ---

Sailing Lake Superior…by myself, in a 17 foot boat. Either I’ll die or it’ll be the coolest thing ever. * * * “Clatu, Verrata…nector?..neck-tie?” ---

Well, this summer is the honeymoon for yours truly. We will be going to the UK Virgin Islands (Tortola) for a week in August. Everyone I know that has been there, and a few guidebooks, tell me that it won’t be markedly hotter in August than it is in winter. They had better be right! ---

Work. Sounds really boring, but to me it will be exciting. I got a new job. 🙂 yeah for me! 😃 * * * When he was ready, it was already far too late, to go back. There will never be another.

I’ll be spending almost the entire summer traveling the U.S. with the Glassmen Drum & Bugle Corps of Toledo, Ohio. (I play euph, if anyone cares.) It’ll be cool, because we get to do some shows out in California, and I’ve never been there before. And there’s a decent chance my corps will be on PBS. (PBS will do a live broadcast of the top 5 drum corps at finals.) -Neil ---

I’m lucky enough to have seven weeks off this summer so I’ve planned a couple of things so far. Ultress is coming to visit for a week in July and if I survive that I plan to take my boyo camping to some of the old haunts I used to go to as a kid. I think its about time he learned how to fish. Definitely a trip to the mountains is in order as well. Anybody looking for a houseguest for a week or two? 😉 * * * Give your children these two things: One is roots, the other, wings - Wally Wally He’s our Man ---

Summer Vacation? You mean people are allowed to take vacations during the summer still? Amazing… ## Me, I’ll be stuck in San Jose for the most part. I might try to catch a flight back to Dayton for the Fourth of July weekend, but am trying to save time for winter vacation. \>\>Being Chaotic Evil means never having to say your sorry…unless the other guy is bigger than you.\<\< —The dragon observes [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-doing-for-a-summer-vacation/16169.md?page=1)
