Yes,in your case that's true Shannon.

[Tennesseestorm]

We are going to either Wilmington, NC or Charleston, SC around April.... then perhaps to Jacksonville around June.

I definitely want to visit the Congaree National Park east of Columbia, SC.

Well, as most of you know, my vacation will be outside, in the garden!

Gardening doesn't cost much, and, I get 100% pleasure from it!

I'd personally say Charleston, SC.... the Battery, USS Yorktown, Fort Sumter, Market Street, Isle of Palms/Sullivan Island (North Side), Folly Beach/St Johns Island (South Side), Angel Oak, Harbor Tour, Ghost Tours, Plantations.... don't forget to walk across the Ravenel Bridge... the sight is amazing. Charleston is beautiful... I can't wait go back.

Well, my travel plans for this summer include a trip to Indiana for a wedding, a few trips to Missouri for R&R and to visit family, plus my fiancée and I will get married, so there will be a honeymoon afterward.

My nephew graduated from Georgia Tech only to sell swings.

Hey, whatever pays the bills, right?

I'm certainly not a job snob, as I'll take any opportunity to make a buck.

I don't use my degree at all in my business. I like to say that GT prepares you for life, not just one field. It's so stressful being a student there that no matter what else life throws at us we're ready for it.

Charleston - Wilmington is becoming too crowded and like Myrtle Beach.

That being said, either place is good, but I'd go with Charleston. And yes, Congaree is worth seeing.

If you pick Charleston, do a ghost tour.

You can't go wrong with a degree from an ACC school. They're, pretty much without exception, a group of character-building, academically superior institutions.

I understand that. Financial Institutions are wanting him bad, but he chooses to continue to sell swings.

We had planned trip to California this summer to visit my Aunt and Uncle, but my Aunt passed away last weekend and my uncle isn't in good shape so we aren't sure what we are doing now. Included in that trip is a wedding of a friends child which we hadn't originally planned on attending, but were going to since it was in the same area. I guess a lot will depend on my Uncle and how he is doing. Sounds like I don't want to see my Uncle and that isn't the case. He has stated he doesn't want any family, including my mother to come out to visit or conslole or support right now so you see why it is now a big ????????????

I forgot, I'm also going to Minneapolis for 5 days for a trade show in late June.

[Opal storm]

Well,after 8 years without going,I will go to WaltDisneyworld with my family on early June. I know that I will find many new things as every year,they open something new.For example,the last time I was there,Island of Adventure park was not open.

Be sure to go on the Kilimanjaro Safari in the Animal Kingdom,that ride is awesome.

No one's going abroad this summer?

Well, I just hadn't thrown my ideas in, but I'm considering London and Amsterdam. Possibly a few other places in Europe.

I would also like to visit the Victoria Falls area.

I'd love to, but I have a 6 month old baby at home. When she's a few years older, Mrs. Alum and I will resume our world travels. This summer we are taking a cruise together in June without the baby. When she's 4 or 5 we'll start taking hops across the pond again. I wonder how the uptight folks in international business class will like a 4 year old.

I hope the weather gods have mercy on you and that it won't rain all the time

We went to Charleston last year. What a beautiful and historic city!! We did the Battery, Market Street and Fort Sumter. Charleston also has a great aquarium right by the ferry to Fort Sumter. We had to wait on our tour to Fort Sumter so we went to the aquarium to cool off. They also have a nice IMAX theater there. We didn't get to do all we had planned because we spent one day at the waterpark with the kids, but it was still a great trip. On the drive back we went through NC then on into Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. What a beautiful drive! We don't have many mountains in this part of Arkansas, so it was a treat.

This year we will spend a week at the beach in Gulf Shores. We go there every other year. On the off years we try some where different.

Does the Caribbean count?

Oh really? Thanks for that tip about Wilmington. We have not been there since July of 1994. I did not realize it had grown that much. I remember it as a busy little town, but not to bad... seemed more "relaxed" than Myrtle.

I think we will do Charleston. Can you/anyone recommend a good area (beach) that is not overly crowded (if that even imaginable).

Thanks again!
