Camping through the redwood forests of Northern California.
Later, Denver.
Next year, Japan.
I’m an American with a minority wife. Even if we could afford to go somewhere, we can’t get close to a boarder without ICE black bagging us.
Japan for a month in November! Been saving for and planning on going for the last 20 years and I’m finally going! I’m so freaking excited!
What a treat! Good for you. It is something I want to do too and reading this gives me hope.
Going to the UK in the fall, first time going to Europe, I’m pretty excited.
You probably already know, but in case you don’t, bring adapters for your phone charger and whatever else because their outlets are different. Their grid is 50Hz instead of 60Hz in the US.
And dont bring hair dryer!
Many modern devices can “float” between 110-220v as well as 50 and 60Hz.
In practice, it means you don’t need older style, larger adapters which actually change the voltage and frequency for you. You can just use the cheaper adapters which only change the plug.
To be sure, just read the little print by the power area on whatever device(s) you’re bringing. The ranges will be listed.
Done it many times.
This has been my experience. I use any random adapter I find in Walmart or Amazon for cheap and they last forever, and my phone charger is setup like you say so it’s fine in Germany, Ireland, UK, etc.
UK is one of my favorite places to vacation! Enjoy your trip!
I live in the US, I will get a vacation when I am dead.
Idk, call ICE on yourself or criticize a genocide enough and you might get a free flight to El Salvador. Last I heard, setting a Tesla on fire might do it now too. Pretty soon, maybe just voting for a Democrat books you a flight. We’ll see.
Take an extended vacation to Canada. Alberta is affordable and could use some more naturalized citizens to help vote out the Conservatives.
How possible is it to become a citizen in Canada? Everything I can find online says you either need a Canadian spouse or a Doctorate with a job lined up to make it happen.
I’ll give my all if another country will take me, but I can’t find any way out of this hell
The usual path is through permanent residency. If you reside within Canada for about three years on a PR card you can apply for citizenship.
You can get PR via a spouse or skilled/point based application. One hack to gain a lot of points is to practice your French, if you can score even moderate fluency in French and apply to reside within Quebec things get significantly easier.
Another large entry opportunity is asylum seekers and LGBT+ folks can have a far easier time requesting entry though that is country of origin based and while the US has been considered as being declared dangerous for LGBT+ people it is not currently so as Canada considers interior migration (i.e. moving from Louisiana to Vermont) to be a reasonable path to safety. That may change depending on US federal laws though.
Honestly, that’s a lot more hopeful than what one found myself. I really hope it’s not something I have to seriously pursue, but every day makes it feel more likely.
My wife’s company (pharmaceutical) is closing most of their offices in the states. Her job was relocated to Ontario, so while it is not Alberta, we may be becoming Canadian.
Ontario is also a good pick. I actually also work in the US Healthcare industry from Canada. It’s surprising how much of the private health care revenue ends up leaving the country.
Her company is basically pulling out of the states all together from what we understand.
Quite possibly Philippines.
Australia! 😃
Belgium and the Netherlands this July!
Galveston Island, TX for a family get together later this year. We just got back from Alaska and it was a pretty great trip.
Depends where the LSD takes me. But physically ill be in my apartment enjoying the rent I pay tp the fullest capacity.
Cornwall. Same group of friends as the last 30 or so years, in about 6 weeks time.
Nice
I’ve just been to Romania… Kosovo & Albania are next on my Balkan adventure list ;)

I loved the DR when I was there!
Vacation?
Istanbul in May, but with everything going on there now it seems like a poor choice!
