Making Vacation Plans for the Year  

  • Alaska. Maybe July/August but I'd really prefer to go after school is back in session in early September. That's what we did last time and it was like having the whole state to ourselves. I'm already dreaming of the Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup with Black Truffle Oil that we had last time at the Crow's Nest at the Captain Cook Hotel. Seriously - the best meal I ever ate in my life. Hope they still have the same chef. I desperately want to tack on a stop over, even if it's a couple of days, in Vancouver because I just hate to go 2 years without seeing British Columbia.


  • New Jersey, Western. Mid-September for a friend's wedding. Thankfully, the man has the excellent sense to live in charming western NJ.


  • New Jersey, Eastern. November. Supreme irony of my life that I'll be venturing into New Jersey twice in one year. I may not make it to B.C. but I'll be in NJ twice?!? Obviously the only reason I'm venturing into eastern NJ now that [livejournal.com profile] immlass and [livejournal.com profile] mcroft have moved is because pretty, pretty men will be at the Stargate Convention. I already have tickets and they're front row center. So...no way I'm missing that one. I may not be sticking around for the week afterwards, though, as I have in the past -- which really stinks because a 2 day visit to the Met has become a yearly pleasure and I was hoping to make it to the Brooklyn Museum's Egyptian Collection.

Re: I live in Anchorage
Yay! I'd love to meet you. Just a warning -- our plans are not yet fixed and may not be for a month or so. We're bringing Joe's father and stepmother with us so my schedule will be less my own than usual. We've just talked and we're likely to return to Aleyeska for at least part of this trip. We both fell in love with Girdwood and Aleyeska - and there's little on Earth to rival the beauty of the Kenai Peninsula. But why am I telling you? You undoubtedly know.

I know your schedule is packed, as well, so I'll try to keep you updated as we make decisions. I'm pushing for flying out the last week of August and returning either Sept. 10 or 11. This will almost assuredly change, though, because I'm only one of four...but that's the general schedule I'm pushing for.
