Sitting in the Dominican Republic headed home after a week.
Anybody doing travel plans in the Midwest region this year?

Last year the big trip was South Aftrica and neighboring countries.
This year it’s Peru.
My wife is a complete international travel junkie with family and friends everywhere. She’s also going to Australia, Japan, and Korea in two other trips while I am staying home working to pay for our health insurance and travel [emoji1]
On the domestic front, planning to check out Boise and Colorado Springs.
When we went last time, our youngest was 4 and the oldest was 9. Thing 2 had a good time, but not as good as Thing 1. Thing 2 was also scared of most of the costumed characters. We laugh about it now (Thing 2 has clear memories). They will be 10 and 15 next year, so no issues there.
Being in VA and having school-age kids makes annual passes a no-go for us.
That's the plan and what we did last year.
We'll keep that in mind. Last time, we saw the fireworks from the street level.
We did the daytime ride last time, but I'll keep a night ride in mind.
Wife doesn't drink and I'm a light drinker, so it's not a huge issue for us.

Does driving across the state to TacCon count?
Laying low this year, aside from work travel regionally. Sort of have a chubby for Iceland though... should probably scratch the itch while Icelandair flights are still subsidized.
Hopefully back to Alaska in Aug. Depends on how much leave time I burn with the bum leg.
I did an Eastern Med Cruise once, left out of Athens and out of Venice. Visited Greece, Rhodes, Istanbul, cruised the Bosporus, etc.
I found generally more upmarket European; Brits, Germans, Swiss, Swedes, Russians, Ukrainians, etc. etc. Elevator rides are more, ah, multilingual lol. Most everyone at this price point speaks some English, or at least some. Learning a bit of French, German, Spanish or even Russian might not be a bad idea.
Lots of black clothes. Much lower rate of Yuge DSLRs, and almost no shorts or Hawaiian shirts. Few fanny packs (bum bags in the UK).
It was a lot of fun though.
Walking among the ruins of the original Olympic Games is something that everyone should experience.
