southsider2k5 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 01:48 PM) My wife and I and our 14 month old son are road-tripping it to the east coast in a couple weeks. The wife wants to rent a house outside of Charleston on Kiawah Island and just do day trips in South Carolina. I would prefer to start in Virginia and work our way down to Savannah while hitting up a bunch of historical sites/awesome seafood places. Anyone do an east coast/carolinas beach trip recently? Any suggestions on where to go/what to do? Other than eating good food, my only other plan is to play a few rounds of golf, which I can already tell will be easy to find. Also, this will be our first long road trip with my son. We're usually driving to/from wisconsin or michigan or iowa on the weekends, so he's accustomed to the 2.5-3.5 hour trip and GENERALLY does ok. But i'm really wondering how he's going to do with 6-7 hours, or worse if we decide to try and get it all done in one day (13 hours, but probably 14 or more with stops). I bought a headrest mount for my tablet and plan to load it up with mickey mouse clubhouse for bouts of boredom. Anyone else have suggestions on how to handle kids on these types of trips? We did a 10 hour trip to Gettysburg at 18 months and it was just a disaster. Bring plenty of baby tylenol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm bringing this back. I've decided that in 2014, I'm going to travel as much as possible. I'm 24, now is the time. I've already got trips to Denver, CO and Savannah, GA planned, and I'm in the process of planning another to Arizona for Spring Training and will also be going on a cruise this summer. In regards to airfare, Sweet Baby Jesus is Kayak an amazing website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Did my most traveling ever in 2013(NOLA, Phoenix, NY, Philly, St. Louis) but only have another Arch Madness trip to St. Louis planned so far for 2014. I'm trying to convince people to do a legit Spring Break trip this year where I can drink, sit on the beach and drink some more all day and night, we'll see how that goes.

cabiness42 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 My wife is in school for Respiratory Therapy. 2014 is her clinical year. Between January 12 and December 14, she has clinical rotations every Tuesday and Thursday, with only one week off in March, two in May, and two in August. The week in March is the only one where our son is also not in school. There will be little if any traveling for me this year except to visit family. Whenever the next big trip happens, it will be to New England, so I can cross of five of the seven states I have yet to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Going back to Europe with a bunch of friends in May, it's going to be an absolute blast. Anyone have suggestions for international credit cards? I signed up for Chase Sapphire to replace my Freedom card since it actually has the chip inside so I can use it abroad, but it doesn't have a pincode. What this means is that when I'm at a train station I can't use the kiosk to buy a ticket since it requires a pin (most everywhere uses chip/pin as authorization for the card, US uses chip/signature at most).

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 My family is doing another Hawks roadtrip this year, this time in Nashville in April. I think it may even be the last game of the season. Last year our trip was to Detroit. Since the Hawks have become amazing, and the city loves them, I haven't been able to go to a game in over 5 years at the United Center. Yet I have seen them play in Detroit and now will see them in Nashville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been to Crater Lake? It is a definite must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bar crawl all day, stumble down to the game, good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably in the middle of the strip. We've stayed at hooter and mgm before and just find it so far out of the way. Probably not one of the higher end ones. 2. Hmm. I do have cards at hollywood, Harrahs joliet, four winds. I think a few of those tie into Vegas hotels but not sure. I would guess Harrahs does.
