Ah Summertime. The weather is nice, the birds are singing, the bees ( or what's left of them) are stinging...it's short skirts and dresses galore...

Go with the flow type of traveller. No disappointments this way

and that is to enjoy myself, whatever I end up doing.

I am not one of those people who make extensive and thorough travel plans, complete with an iron clad itinerary. I am more of the "seat of my pants" kind of traveler.

A good example of this was my very first trip to Bogota, Colombia about ten years ago or so.  A buddy of mine and me went down there on a whim without so much as a hotel reservation or the least bit of fluency in Spanish. To make a long story short, we "figured it out" had a great time, and I have been back a couple of dozen times. THAT's the way I like to do things. lol

plan when I travel- usually when it involves family and holidays. However, for vacations not involving family and for free time traveling (which is incredibly rare for me these days), I am more like GaG. I've pretty much traveled like that my whole life except for three cruises I did. While cruises can be fun depending on the people you're with, they never give me enough time to see the destinations, and the food is blech 😖. And a day or afternoon in a place is hardly visiting it in my opinion.  

Eat their food, drink their wine, and fuck their women.

Obviously not in that particular order of course. lol

Nothing is worth the headache. Nothing, not even pussy is worth the hassle.

... the plight of a workaholic.  

My best travels were solo motorcycle trips. Two or three weeks by myself touring all of the states west of Nebraska. I had no set destination. I either looked at the sky to see which direction had the best weather, or looked on a map for mountains with winding roads. I'd change course in the middle of a day if I remembered a restaurant I really liked.  

cooler climates.  During the winter months I try to visit warmer climates.  Lastly, the holidays are reserved for family whether it be Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc.

But I would love to be able to travel just to explore new lands and sample the culture and scenic beauty.

I do try to incorporate some of that when I do travel.

Sadly, the airlines make it depressing to travel now-a-days.  I'm beginning to feel the was Scoed feels about it.

and sure, there is always room for a wing man, or wing woman, or even several. lol

Group trip!!

Let's go!!!

One of the two times I went to the Grand Canyon, I parked my bike in a turnout, and was sitting near the edge of the canyon, just looking. A car pulled up quickly, sliding a bit on the gravel. The drivers door opened, the driver got out, walked up next to me, took a picture of the canyon, and then got back in his car.

Is it always Costa Rica?

I am headed up to the "UP" MIchigan this coming week, I was in Costa Rica last week, and I will spend the week after either in NYC, or Atlanta, or perhaps back to Costa Rica. not sure yet.

Hey, somebody has to keep the airlines in business, right?

That and nice cocktail lounges. Tourist attractions like museums, statues, old buildings, not so much.  Although I will admit I was blown away by the Louvre.

Nice weather, gringo friendly, beautiful beaches, what's not to like? lol

Very, very fun perspectives!!!!

Get away from the job and the kids.  Eat at ridiculously expensive restaurants, relax by the pool, see a show or two and have scads of sex with my SO.  It's the only time she seems to be uninhibited, when we travel.  When I travel I have no need to find providers, I bring the girl who gives me the best BJ's in the world with me.  I fuck her 7 ways to Sunday several times a day.  It's the only time she turns into a sexy beast.
