"What I did in the Summer Vacation..."

[ferretchucker]

Summer is over, Autumn is here. Though some hot weather may remain, we must concede defeat (and start gleefully moving towards Samhain).

But I thought it might be nice to relive your summery holiday/vacation fun as a final farewell to the happier time.

This year I was fortunate enough to go on two holidays. Firstly there was the family one - a week in Florida followed by a week cruising around the Caribbean. Though we've done Florida 5 times now, it never gets too dull and the theme parks were as wonderful as ever (particularly enjoyed the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at IoA).


The following week in the Caribbean was magnificent. Though we were only there for a short period of time, it gave me a wonderful flavour of the Steel Drum life. Though seeing the amount of poverty and depravity scarcely hidden beneath the tourist attractions was upsetting, I confess that the white sand, palm trees and coconuts distracted me.


And, of course, making friends on the cruise line was wonderful. ESPECIALLY as I wasn't used to the drinking restrictions of America (21? REALLY?!) and they could help with that...made me feel young again ;)



The second holiday is one I've just today returned from. A week in Prague with David, my boyfriend, which was incredibly relaxing. The beautifully pastel surroundings, wonderful food and (luckily) bright weather made for a very enjoyable time. The food left a LITTLE to be desired, as the notion of serving any type of vegetable with a meal didn't seem to appeal to them and I found myself sweating meat and carbs. But nonetheless, adored it!



And now for YOUR holiday experiences, children...

Looks like you had some great holidays, ferret! I'm jealous you got to go to Harry Potter World.

Had more of a "staycation" this year.....little trips with the kids, floating in the pool,cook-outs......it was nice.

Last week was my boat trip where I somehow managed to throw my keys in the ocean..........damn Sambuca



I'm one of these old bastrards

Ditto! Surely looks like you had an awesome vacation, FC! I wish 'someday' I could visit those places. Anyway, great to have you back here. :)

Excellent pics. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a superbly enjoyable couple of trips, ferret. Ah, how our young English whipper-snapper has grown!

Nice! And good to see newb in the flesh. I wonder where Budman is, all this time. ;)

Did you get your keys back? Did a bit of deep-sea diving for that?

Sharing roshiq's sentiments. And welcome back ferret as well!

Shhh roshiq, don't start to give Sly Stallone any more ideas, or we will soon have Expendables 3: The Geriatrics of Rhode Island, starring newb!


---------------------


Well, with my little girl around we don't have much time to spare for vacations, specially this year. But I made sure to take some time out to visit all my old pals at Pune, about 2000 kms (1250 miles) away from my hometown.







Good times.

Ferret! I didn't know you had a BF! Yay! Post more pics!

Newb - Love the pics of the crew and you too V!!

"Biggest" trip this summer was to Nova Scotia... Very pretty... Got engaged... Blah blah blah... (already posted pics ;)).

We set a date and picked a place (November 1, 2013 at Harrington Farm, Mass.)

I'n actually waiting for it to be 2013 so I can have more time off and plan the next excursions. Honeymoon, perhaps. :D

I expected a ton of pics of Ferretfucker's boyfriend, not a bunch of pics of newb and his old grizzly friends.
