Looking to take a trip to anywhere. Anyone have suggestions?

how about a few parameters? ie what do you like to do (besides shoot)?

Up-state NY is always nice, or Lancaster PA in amish country is cool too...I guess it depends on what you are looking to do. Adventureous or Relaxing etc.....

Just looking to have a good time, outside of the country for a while.

Out of the country, nice. I think you still need to narrow it down a bit. For example, are you looking to just relax somewhere, and order in or sit at a cantina? (I'd say St Johns or Hawaii.) Maybe you're looking to get away for a bit, but still be pro active? (Traveling throughout Switzerland was one of my all time favorite. It had a mix of city enjoyment and natural beauty.) Or you want to go sight seeing? (Paris, Amsterdam, etc-- those possibilities are endless.) If you're on a tight budget, any place in the America's (Vancouver is gorgeous, Mexico, Peru, Hawaii, etc) is pretty accessible for cheap. But yea, overall, you need to narrow down some parameters. And yes, I've been around, so, I'd be happy to bounce some ideas off. Personally, I'm hoping to get out of the country for a week or two in August, so, I hear ya.

Spend a week on Santorini.

 

It's the trip of a lifetime.

Definitely trying to do the same: a week or two off in August. A mix of natural beauty and city enjoyment is pretty much what I'm looking to do. Might just head down to Mexico.

Being originally from Toronto, there are some beautiful areas in northern Canada to consider if you're into fishing or hunting or just enjoy being outdoors. I'm not a hunter but have fished in some breath-taking areas in northern Ontario(province).

Belize or Costa Rica

US Virgin Islands.....

 

paradise....

I spent 10 days in Bermuda this past year....it was awesome!

 

Long story short....We went on a 10 day carribean cruise, I got big time sick in the first 10 mins of the cruise and had two days at sea left before land. I was miserable....my equilibrium (sp?) was all screwed up from the 40 foot seas. Once I got to land, I was NOT getting back on that boat. My wife was a saint and booked a cottage right on the beach for 10 days as well as airline tickets home, all from the middle of the sea online! Bad part is I was paying for two vacations at once. :roll:

 

I hate flying but it really wasn't bad, only 2.5 hours or so.

if you want a nice mix... cheap.... go to Jamaica! Stayed at an all inclusive resort, brand new in runaway bay, private, nice... then went out to the falls, and into the few things to do there.

 

also, look at dominican republic.... cheap, and fun.

 

What about canada?

 

hotels.com has some good deals.

 

also, check out travelzoo.com, and bookit.com for some realllly nice deals.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone.

How about Hawaii? It's kinda out of the country. Got married there and would love to stop by again.

I just got back from a week in Cape Cod...Lovely place....lots of nature...nice beaches....tons of bike trails...fried seafood.....and plenty of quiet..

Narragansett, RI.

 

I love it there and would move there if the gun laws weren't just as $hitty as NJ's.

+1 to cape cod. where did you say? or go to martha's vineyard.

Toronto is a great place to visit, but I would suggest Montreal as well. beautiful old architecture to see. The French/Canadian culture makes you feel like you have time warped, so it is a nice get away.

 

I myself just did a one day trip up to Boston which was a blast.

Spend a week on Santorini.

 

It's the trip of a lifetime.

 

Another vote for Greece - just be aware that things in europe aren't that cheap anymore since the switch to the euro..

My wife and I rent a cottage in Eastham for a week every summer....Its right above Orleans and a bit below Truro.

Going to Front Sights next yr to celebrate the big 40 any takers?

How 'bout seaside?? That can be considered out of the country at certain times in the summer!

Ah, to be 18 again.

lol....yeah really! If we only knew then what we know now!!! :roll:

Newport, RI is very nice. Have you ever spent time in DC? Lots to do and see there. Could spend weeks with all the monuments and museums.

 

Myrtle Beach, SC

How about sicily? I lived in sicily for several years when i was in the military. Awesome place to see. There are wwii artifacts everywhere if you are a collector, Mt. Etna an active volcano is there always shooting lava into the sky, and the history of the place is amazing. Sicily is a very cheep trip to do, when i go over there now it only costs about 1500.
