If you could go on a summer vacation this year, where would you go?

I wish I could go back to Vermont. Perhaps some year...
P.S. I still have in mind it would be great to do some sort of exchange with the Burlington (Vermont) Concert Band!

@shewis excellent idea. Let's wait till covid is in our rear view mirror then let the planning begin!

I have been lucky to travel a lot during my years in BTTB. Places, if I could go back to them, would be...

Baltimore

The annual 4th of July gym tour! I would love to explore (at my own pace) Inner Harbor , the Naval Academy and Washington.
2. Itabashi
The 1990 Japan/Hawaii tour was my age-out tour. I would love to be able to wonder through Tokyo and its different neighborhoods, ride the Shìnkasen, and explore Japan.
3. Myrtle Beach
Spent my March Breaks here...
The band's annual trip to Williamsburg/Myrtle Beach which I always looks forward to (except in 1987 when the band was in Ireland). Home of KW restaurant, Waccamaw Mall, and golf (Mr. Allan always packed his golf clubs and there was tons of mini put courses)...staying at the Sand Dunes hotel and marching on the sand. Lots of memories here...
Honestly, I am now looking forward to the 2 trips planned by the THMO Executive for our band once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Mackinac Island and Salem....here I come!

I was originally booked for a Rhine/Moselle river cruise in October 2020. That of course got cancelled and rescheduled for right now but if it is even happening there are just too many restrictions to consider it so It is now booked for June of '22. Hope I can make it. Same deal with a week in Bermuda, my favourite vacation spot which is now scheduled for the end of October '22.

My niece is getting married in Atlanta this summer. I am praying the border will open and I can go. It would be awesome to see my family!

Kamara

@joanner @shewis that would be a great trip to look forward to if it ever comes to fruition. Perhaps at some point collaborate with the L.A. Symphonic Pierce Winds, i.e. if they're still in operation, as an opportunity to visit that city.

@Kamara I like your thinking!

This year we were planning a European trip, but it has been postponed. I would one day like to see Canada's far north, like the Yukon in one of those small driving camper vans.

I hope you have CAA on speed dial

I mean, I'm handy enough to change a tire, but driving long long distances where the nearest soul is hundreds of kms away, yikes!

@Marie-Limanni I'm letting my fingers crossed for you
