2025 Travel Plans

This year is a 2x Vegas year (happens most odd numbered years) but putting a bit of a spin on each. In early June we will head to Vegas with nephew for his 21st. There was a joke when he was 6 rolling nothing but double 6's that when he turned 21 Uncle J would be taking him to Vegas. That kid has remembered and reminded us every year since, "X year's til I'm 21 and you take me to Vegas" LOL 15 years later and it's coming to fruition. He and his parents will come Thurs night flight to Monday morning with plans of a cabana pool party at Cromwell as the big splurge, a nice dinner- Bugsy's perhaps?, a roll on the high roller and perhaps golf. then we'll stick around town until Thursday to do our usual solo stuff. The trip in October for Mr Juice's birthday we have added two nights at Zion National Park at the front end to give us our annual nature adventure. Got a cabin inside the park and have a few hikes planned already. And lastly, it's been 3 yrs since my best friend and I did girls trip to Oregon...time for another adventure! Last trip was to Astoria, a place she's always wanted to go to, this trip is mine - Acadia National Park. Have lodging booked and waaaay too many hikes planned, just hoping for flight prices to go down before booking. But I have been looking forward to this for years. can't wait! What's funny is that because of timing on when she & I want/could go and Jeff's birthday- there's only like 10 days between when she & I get back from Acadia NPS before Jeff and I arrive in Zion NPS. Oh well! last year I took two whole weeks off at once for the cruise, work shouldn't mind me taking a Mon/Tues off with Barb, work 7 days and then take another 6 off right? Right?!
