Already driven to Memphis and Jackson on one trip. Driving to Atlanta next week and then flying to the middle of the Pacific for a week.

Love going to the middle of the Pacific, but not the 25 hour flights.

Am going back today but this time for a couple of years at least. Always nice when flying between the US and the US you have to fly through Tokyo.

I need to get my passport. One day I want to get out the country and see more. 

It's good for 10 years so you might as well get it.  Cabo and Cancun are cheap and only a 2 hour flight.  We did Cabo last September All Inclusive for 5 nights for 2 of us was $1600.  I can't rent a hotel in Beaumont and eat and drink all day for 5 nights for that cheap.

New summer might as well start this topic back up.

 

Me not planning on going anywhere except to the island 5 miles south for a couple of days. Expensive to fly back to the mainland and don't want to go to the Philippines right now

Where are you?

If you're wanting to leave the country and see some beautiful places, I've heard that Utah is nice, and I've seen some pretty places in Georgia, but avoid Atlanta.  We're staying in country.  Probably going to the hill country, around Fredericksburg. :)

Get some peaches! Reb, trust me. Eat breakfast at the Chess Club in Blanco. Also, if you haven't tried it, Saltlick in Dripping Springs is very good. Take a gander at their pit.

My cousin just moved to San Francisco. I'm going to visit her in August to see what it's all about

Went up there to watch the Texans play the 49ers the last year Candlestick was open, very neat city! Excellent food in Chinatown, Fishermans Wharf has some neat bars and restaurants, and its a must to stuff as much chocolate in your gut at the Ghiradelli factory as well as tour Alcatraz.

Some people knock on me for doing this. I usually travel alone. Being 27 and all your friends are married with kids I have noone to go anywhere with. I went to Miami twice by myself to see the spring game and a regular season game. Went out to Austin and San Antonio to see the Rockets at Spurs alone. When my friend had work in the AM I went out to the boardwalk,Sixth Street and Rainey. I'm planning on goingto San Fran,Memphis,Nashville and Fort Lauderdale this fall.

I got comfortable with it. Actually I like it better when I go alone

My 89 year old mother-in-law is coming to visit in July for about a month, so I'll be going to the nearest looney bin, in a straight jacket, probably inoculated with some kind of high powered sedative.  I hope they let me have my iPad so I can stay in touch with y'all.

    • are you suggesting that if the football coach runs spring drills then the kids won't play fall ball without supervision?  Because if not, this argument has no relevance.  One doesn't take the place of the other.  one the AD has control of, the other he just tries to.  
    • I don't think it is overly hyped.. I am seeing less and less multi-sport kids when it can all be prevented.. A coach teaches l loyalty, work ethic, comradery, integrity, perseverance, etc.. to get kids to buy into their program. They talk about brotherhood and doing what is best for their community.... But some mean all of this  just for football... Kids see into this double standard and will quit.. either while on the field or off...  drives me crazy!!  and again... I work with these kids.. they tell me what they think.. so you can agree or disagree.. its their point of view!!
    • Hmm..... I tend to disagree. I was a multi sport athlete in High School and am now a coach. Kid is not going to be a very good hitter if he only hits in the spring and summer, I took BP and threw (to keep my arm in shape) during football and basketball season. Kid is not going to be a very good QB, WR or DB if he only throws passes, runs routes or covers receivers in the fall or during a few 7 on 7 games after baseball is over. And a kid is never going to be good shooter of the basketball if he only shoots during the basketball season. Skills are honed, not mastered, they need to be developed and practiced repeatedly.
    • and I'll concede that this is more realistic.  but a good AD can make football the primary focus without messing with the success of other sports.
