OT Vacation Plans?

All about Mexico because of the food/people, really want to go here and surf: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/mexico/central-pacific-coast/sayulita

 

THERE WILL BE LINES.

 

This guy has cool travel vids.


I'm not so big on Mexico, I've been there a shit-ton. I mean, I like Tacos and all, but whatevz for the rest of it.

 

I was in Wyoming last summer, the Buffalo Bill Center was pretty cool.

Staycation downtown Nashville over the 4th. Awesome fireworks show.

 

Ive stayed at the Opryland Hotel a few times. Massive and nice. I thought Nashville and Knoxville were two of the cleanest cities Ive visited in North America.

 

Yellowstone is great, but pretty busy during summer months. Most Wyoming folk don’t really go there because it can be like an amusement park at times. Definitely go though, it’s worth it for sure. I would maybe get out of the park scene and hit some two lane highways, gravel roads, small towns, mountain tops, streams and lakes. Bridger-Teton and Shoshone national forests have plenty of all that and are on that side of the state. Or you could head out of the NE park entrance on 212 toward Montana, go over the Beartooths and hit Cooke City and Red Lodge.

 

Heh, too late. We just booked arriving Black Friday and returning the next Tuesday.

Incredibly, my wife just booked 3 nights for free and 1 night on points (some type of Hilton Honors deal she had sitting around) in a king suite at the Conrad Hotel on W. 54th. Apparently, according to the Hilton booking gal who was born/raised in NYC, this is one of Hilton's exquisite mid-town hotels - right near Central Park, Carnegie Hall, and the like. Plus, she said this is one of the absolute best times of the year to visit as it's the beginning of Christmastime in the Big Apple! My wife also got us tickets to Wicked. I've never been to NYC, let alone a Broadway play. SO excited!!

@Lanny would be proud.

 

I last went around Christmas time, its a special time in the city. The Christmas markets are great, but hopefully all the christmas decor is already up then.

 

We're definitely doing a horse/buggy ride around Central Park.

 

We did a pedicab tour, it was totally worth it. I think the horse drawn tours are pretty short, and you don't really go into the park.

 

I'll check that. The horse/carriage people have a 55-minute package - including photo stops. We'll see. Not gonna book anything in advance, though. My wife and her sis did it and had a blast. That was summer time. Anyway, she said it's very cool.

 

So, you had fun?

 

There are a lot of shady people out there doing them, I'd read up on how to get the best experience.

 

Here's one I had been checking out. For the most part, Tripadvisor does a credible job of presenting credible/safe options:

How about the Bahamas, Hawaii, Japan, Tahiti, Miami, San Francisco, NY city, Washington D.C., Niagara Falls, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon or Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia Canada (try the Empress Hotel).
