Happy almost new year peas. Curious what everyone has planned for 2023?
I have 2 trips on the books: cousins’ long weekend in Newport Beach in April. And my book club has decided to do a trip to Chicago in fall (everyone will then be empty nesters). We are in the Bay Area.
That’s it so far - other than that - I turn 50 (gasp) in 2023 so will definitely need to do something to mark that. I get a 4 week sabbatical in early 2024 and I’m thinking a month in Greece and Italy would be amazing. Dreaming….

We have a Disney cruise planned for this Christmas so I'm hoping like crazy that my husband and kids love it so I can convince them to book one for next summer. My husband and 11 year old are going on a 9 day guided tour of Rome/Greece with our school over Spring Break.

We are going to France in June, my first trip to Europe! My BIL and SIL are renting a 10 bedroom chateau (!) and inviting any family who wants to come stay.

Right now, not much is planned after the spring. But I do know we are going to Nashville in February, Dominican Republic most likely in March, a trip back home to Louisiana in late spring and DH has a hunting trip to Ohio in the fall. I’m sure more will pop up as the year goes on.

I always have a trip planned each year - a week with my BFF at St. George Island, FL. We are also planning a trip to Canada to see Niagara Falls but that hasn't been finalized yet.

I'm in the middle of planning with a travel agent our spring trip. My dd is living in Manchester right now & her bf is from Ireland. So in May we're flying over to Dublin to spend a week meeting up with them & touring Ireland, then we're all going to Edinburgh for a long weekend, and then going back to Manchester with them. Then in June we will hop on a cruise ship out of Dover to go to Norway for 9 days before we head home
Plus we're doing our annual winter trip to our second home mid January until the end of March. In the summer we want to camping in Michigan for a week but nothing planned yet

We have a trip to France, Italy and Switzerland planned for the spring. Need to book tickets, but I am having anxiety to actually book them. I am afraid I will not do it correctly, misread the layovers whatever. I will stress about it way too much.

Three trips to Florida while my mother is there for three months so one per month. I turn 65 a year from now and I’d like to plan some thing to do with some friends so we’ll see.

DH and I just booked a trip to Holbox Island for early September to swim with the whale sharks. We'll make at least one trip to Seattle to see our DS. My sis and I will be doing our yearly short getaway to Disney in late September.
My youngest DD is due with her first baby on May 15th and has gripped my hands, declaring we can't travel anywhere for at least 2 months prior or after. LOL So DH and I are trying to agree on a short trip in February. He always opts for beachy, warm weather locations. I want more Europe or Africa which means we're still in the discussion stages. Africa is out since there's no quick trip to Africa possible.

My last vacation was in Sept 2019 (a month in France). Since then I've been sidelined due to covid and the last phase of home remodeling in 2022. I am so ready to get back on the road! Just starting to make plans but my goal is to wrap up visiting the 50 states (Hawaii, Alaska, N. Dakota and Michigan are left). I'm also planning a trip to Idaho to visit one niece and a trip to Miss. to see the other niece graduate from college. DD is in talks with her company to possibly spend 3 months in Germany for training. So if that happens and I can throw in a quick trip to Europe while she is there, that would be the icing on the cake!

Theoretically, we're going to Florida in March to see some Astros spring training games. Maybe.
Theoretically, DH's company is flying us all to Australia in July for some Women's World Cup games, but that seems like a real long shot at the moment. We'll see.

We try to get to Palm Springs every year in February or March, so that's always in the background. Dh and I are going on a Croatian cruise with a few days in Paris tacked on in May. The cruise has been postponed a couple times because of the pandemic (originally was for 2020), so everyone is looking forward to it! We are travelling with a group of 18 couples from our area that are friends/friend-adjacent and have a private yacht booked for the group--one of our group is a travel agent and has done this trip before and is taking care of all the arrangements. Dh and I usually try to go to a new city/ball park for opening day every year, but we have yet to pick our city. And then there will be a few road trips to surrounding provinces to visit family. Good thing I retired so I have time to do all the things I want to do!

We spent 2+ weeks in Greece this past June so this year will be more low keyed. We always go to the outer banks and will again this year. I am hoping to make it to Portland, OR this year to see a friend of mine. No big Europe trips planned. DH and I are planning to go to Japan but probably in 2024 or 2025.

The only thing planned is an Alaskan cruise in May. That just may be the only trip I go on next year.

Oh dear we are going to Hawaii in January so our unused tickets don’t expire. Then we are going to Portugal because I have a really good portuguese friend and she wants to take us around. Then amblet and I want to go to Mexico in November for 10 days if I can manage it. I am not sure yet.

We’re going to an all-inclusive in the Dominican Republic again this year in early March. Just booked a beach house in southern Maine for a week in July yesterday. Considering a trip to somewhere in Europe in September but we’ve also got some landscaping to do, so we’ll see.

I am taking the twins to London in May, as yet unbooked because I need their soccer tryout schedule.
I am planning a solo to Helsinki in August.

In March we're supposed to go to Las Vegas with our friend group. I may or may not end up going. It will depend on what's going on with our cat that is being treated for cancer.
In October we're taking a transatlantic cruise, from England to New Jersey, with some friends. We plan to spend time in Europe before we set sail - not sure where, though. It will be my first time there.
We're moving next summer to WA, so that will be a big (one-way) trip!

Dh is playing tournament softball one more year, but the prelim schedule they put out is ridiculous- 3 tournaments requiring flights and 4 that have drives of 5-6 hours. 1 has a 3-4 hour drive and the other 3 are 45-90 minutes, which is fine.
We are willing to do one flight and 2 of the long drives (and all of the short drives). If the team doesnt like it, then he will quit. 🤷🏼♀️
Anyway, our vacation next year is supposed to be to TN to visit family and they are going to take us to Nashville as we have never been.

Palm Springs in January Israel in March. This is a make up trip. We were packed 3 years ago and then covid shut everything down when we were supposed to go to the airport.

DH and I are celebrating our anniversary next month and we are taking a short cruise to Bermuda, but flying into NYC a few days early to catch a Broadway show. In June, our oldest is having a destination wedding and we are going to that. It's another cruise out of Miami, but I am not even sure where it goes. I'm just going for the wedding. We were tentatively planning a trip to Alaska with my cousin, but that is probably going to get bumped to 2023. I'm kind of worn out from going nonstop in 2022. It was a crazy busy year. Fun, but I'm exhausted.

My parents are taking the family to clearwater Florida over spring break.
May-we are planning a trip to DC. I'm excited. Never been.
A girlfriend and I are talking about a couples trip to Nashville. I've never traveled with another couple so a tad nervous about that. I guess we can do our thing too and meet up at night if we have different interests. Same with gals going one way and guys maybe doing something else. We'll see.....

DH and I are planning a trip to the Cayman Islands in March (We volunteered to be bumped from an overbooked flight last year and received $750 in flight credits each so we are using those). We are also planning a trip with our sons and daughter-in-law to the UK in May (we had this planned in 2020 and it was cancelled because of Covid).

Apart from a work conference, nothing is planned yet. We haven't been on a more than one night trip since 2017. I am itching to go somewhere, but DH and I are still hesitant about travel. Maybe 2023 will be the year we do the one-day/one-night trip to Philly we talked about doing this past year. Baby steps.
