Yes. I've been to Ireland, Jamaica and several of the Caribbean, as well as Canada and mexico on a few occasions. Since we've had kids, our vacations mostly have centered around the Jersey shore. It's not a hassle to get there; it's relaxing and fun for the family, and you can do a thousand different things or nothing at all.

My sons will be taking separate trips to the shore with friends this summer. My midle son graduates high school tomorrow and he and many from his class will head to the Maryland shore on Saturday for a week of fun.

I'll be in Boston in August, and the family decided to spend some extended time in New England. Boston was my old stomping grounds in the late 1980s, and I'll have to visit my old residences in Newton and Watertown. we'll spend some days on the Cape and Martha's Vineyard.
