In Michigan, for example, everyone says "anyway, just leave it there" or "next to the Walmart" whereas I've picked up and kept "anyhow, just let it there" and "beside the walmart." And inflection of different parts of sentences is interesting. |

Just booked our yearly "post-football depression trip" for late February. Looks like San Diego this time around (we hit San Francisco last year at the same time). Any tips/must-see things? We'll be staying right around the Gaslamp Quarter.

I went on a road trip to New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah two weeks ago. Checked out the Grand Canyon and Monument Park in Utah. Gorgeous places, almost surreal. Also, I think New Mexico must have the nicest people in America.

How was Arizona? We were thinking about going there, but opted for San Diego instead.

I'll tell you, when you leave the Grand Canyon and start driving north towards Utah you feel like you're driving on the surface of Mars. You're in LITERALLY the middle of nowhere. It's kind of creepy if you're driving alone (as I was), because you know if you break down you're 100 miles from nothing.

Got back last night from 6 days at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. Great time for the whole family, but I'm pretty sure I gained around 10 pounds just drinking tequila, eating like a pig, and laying around the beach and pool all day.

So you'd rather spend all-inclusive money to eat healthy and be sober?

When I went to Miami in September, the food was so bad/expensive I think I lost weight. Gotta go somewhere else next vacation.

I could see expensive, but bad? Wow, wouldn't have expected that at all. I can't wait to eat a shit ton of fish tacos in SD.

Have any of you been to Costa Rica? We're debating between Costa Rica or northern Europe for a family vacation. CR definitely sounds more fun, but my daughter is 4 so she won't be able to do a lot of the activities. Would it be worth it?
(extra info: we live in San Diego, so while the beaches will be awesome, it isn't that rare for any of us).

Actually, new plan (from my previous post that no one responded to) -- we've decided to go to northern Europe. So, does anyone have any travel suggestions/ideas on Denmark, Norway and/or Sweden? We will definitely go to Copenhagen, but I'm not sure whether it's worth going north from there. And the other debate is Switzerland or Austria to spend a few days in the Alps. Anyone?

No advice here, just jealousy. I can't even afford to drive to Atlantic City for a weekend right now.
