I am going to Greece for 3 weeks! half the time with my boyfriend, then I have the other half to myself. Taking 3 weeks in a row is a BIG no-no in my company but I'm an overworked girl and I do get the paid vacation time so I'm going to do it anyway. That's why I envy Europeans - a lot of them get a month off at once! 13 days and counting...
Maybe over Thanksgiving I'll do Barcelona and northern Spain.

Chicagoan, you're right about vacation times being too short--I'll vote for any political candidate who will propose legislation to give American workers 4-6 weeks of vacation a year!!!!!! We're so far behind the rest of the world in recognizing that worker productivity is not destroyed by giving workers time to recharge their batteries!

Roses, even though statistics say that July is the warmest month, I can't give you hope: August will be warm (specially the first half) and warm means from 28-40ºC during the day. My approach solution: sleep the day, switch into nightlife...

Tara and Chicagoan, I echo your sentiments about the vacation time, or lack thereof! Being in Spain for 11 days! 11 days! GAWD! I had an awesome time, but wished I could have extended it for a another week or two! In my dreams, right? Summer travel plans? Minnesota for a week and a half, maybe visit Austin, TX and San Diego, CA. Who knows? I sense lots of travel in my near future....Maybe Spain for a few days? Wyndyl

My husband and I both happen to be teachers, so we take the summer off. We are house exchanging (again) in Biarritz (2 weeks, much of which will be spent in the Spanish Basque country, in addition to the French side) and 3 weeks in Pechon, near Santander. A few days here and there in Madrid and Bilbao. Yeah, I can't wait.......This will be our third visit to Spain, and, like the rest of you, we wish we could live there for a while....

Back to Spain for 17 days in September (end of summer but can't wait ). This times it's Barcelona and the remainder of Northern Spain (less Galicia since I just got back) including Burgos and Leon.
