Big bend or Yosemite, I see people all the time, its nice just to get away from everything sometimes.

Cruise? You could do an inside cabin for 7 days for less than $1,000 out of Houston or Galveston. Then all you need to pay for are your drinks and excursions. Smuggle your alcohol on the ship and you have one of those covered.

Go to Yosemite and hike Half Dome, you'll never forget it.

Next summer's epic hike will bring us back to the valley here, but there really won't be a chance to see everything. So what's one to do? Make two trips! Mid may and the melt was in full force so all the falls were at peak flow. If nature is your thing then Yosemite needs to be on your bucket list. I'll post some more later

If it was me be the beach, or road trip out west. Surprise Tailsman has not chimmed in. Believe he did a road trip last year or so in his his 5.0

**HarrisonTX** · 08-06-2014, 05:18 AM

Some good ideas in here. I'll be busy at work until the afternoon. Thanka dudes.
Yes I do have a passport.

The beach has lots of eye candy and a coyote ugly! Single guy could get laid easy in there

Alaska, I've never been, and frankly don't know if I'd want to explore up there alone (thinking the what if.. situation for emergencys) but I would love to "get lost" out there for 5 days or so.

I've been busy. My problem responding to threads like this is an overabundance of suggestions. Driving the AlCan through the British Columbia wilderness will always be a high point out of all the trips. Montana, Utah, and Wyoming are beautiful. If you need inspiration, here ya go:

Bonneville Road Trip:

Ultimate Roadtrip: booked. - DFW Mustangs

http://www.dfwmustangs.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11152&highlight=roadtrip

Fly in to Los Angeles Sept 10th. Go to Hertz Counter. Pick up a 2012 Mustang GT. Proceed up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco. Tour various filming locations of Bullitt, cross Golden Gate, etc. Proceed to Reno, Nevada. Lose some money. Drive across Nevada on Route 50, also known as the Loneliest Road in America. Many

Roswell Road Trip:

Greetings from Roswell, New Mexico. - DFW Mustangs

Just a heads up, if you don't hear from me again, I've been abducted by aliens. Off work for 9 days and doing a little 2000 mile NM/TX road trip in my 99 GT with my dog. Already hit Amarillo and Cadillac Ranch. I think Highway 70 that leads into Roswell could rival Route 50 in Nevada as "The Loneliest Road in America

Alaska Road Trip

Great Alaskan Roadtrip - DFW Mustangs

Get up and head to Mt St Helens and Seattle. Tour Seattle Underground and Kurt Cobains house. Head to Vancouver, Canada. Stalk Phil, see what trouble is

New Orleans Road Trip:

Minor Gulf Coast Tour - DFW Mustangs

Headed to New Orleans and Pensacola for a week next week Saturday. Going to finally stretch out the legs on the new 5.0. Looking for additional ideas on things to do, probably be swinging through Bayou La Batre and Mobile, maybe Biloxi(which I know is a shithole)and will only spend a day or two in Pensacola; most of the trip

Back on January 21st I was spending a typical day dicking around. Late last year I had planned to take another road trip, but after my dog passed away I decided to rescue another Border Collie pup and put things on hold until we got acclimated to each other. I hadn't looked at NASA's launch schedule in awhile, and when it

This but I'd book out of New Orleans. It's a little bit longer of a drive but the embarkation city is a lot more fun. Not to mention all of the coeds you get from Tulane, LSU and Alabama. Bourbon St speaks for itself, then the cruise line will generally seat you with other singles. As for the ports Cozumel is easy on your own and in Progreso just hit one of the ruins.

Either that or look at a trip to Vegas. Plenty of stuff to do there.

I was married when I did my last DC/VA trip but my wife was busy so I did lots of alone stuff. If you are a history buff you can hit Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown in one day. Then take the subway to DC and spend 3 days looking at stuff.

I accept that.

We are leaving out of Houston on 18 October for a 7 day on Norwegian Jewel. Just me, the wife, the 2yr old (2 bedroom suite) and the mother in law (in her own cabin). I then let my family know and they have been booking the same cruise. Not a group thing and I am going to capitalize on it being a BIG ship.

You've already been given a lot of good choices, so I'll just put links to the 'deals' that Virgin emails me weekly. Have fun.

I had 5-7 days and $1500 you bet your ass the money would go to nothing more than airfare and food and I'd be sleeping in the Sierra Nevadas for 6 of those 7 days. Ansel Adams Wilderness, John Muir Wilderness, Kings Canyon, Tahoe Basin... somewhere west, quiet, and open.

**Scott Mc** · 08-06-2014, 08:56 AM

Yep, I am always around lots of people. It is nice to get away.
