I’m wanting to do a few camping trips with friends and I’m also going back to school for a second degree! It’s gonna be packed, but I really wanna get outside more this summer, before the smoke rolls in. Do y’all have any fun plans?

Currently waiting to board my flight for my two week trip to Japan :D
Exciting stuff! Got any specific plans while you’re there? Japan sounds lovely… I hope I can go some time.
Week one I’m showing all the spots in Tokyo to my buddy who gets to go for his first time. Week two we’re shinkansening to the other cities which will be new for me as well!
That sounds like fun! Hope you have a great time.
We’re going on a cruise at the start of August, which is the sort of thing I could never justify the cost of but has been on my bucket list since I was a kid and thought a cruise was the height of fanciness. In this case, it’s with husband’s family and it’s mostly paid for, so definitely can’t turn that down!
Lots of summery sewing to do in preparation. And luckily I already knit and cross stitch as well so should get on fine with the old biddies who I assume make up at least 70% of cruise passengers.
Ooooh, river cruise, or ocean cruise? I thibk you’ll love either one!
Ocean. Mostly around Greece, and I’ve never been to Greece so it’s double exciting 😄
Already been pricing up river cruises though just in case we really take to it and decide cruise life is the life for us!
I’ve just recently passed my driving test and bought a car, so plenty of little trips around the Peak District & Yorkshire Dales I think this summer! Might try and venture up to the Lakes too.
Having a car feels so strange, considering I’m a little late to driving - so much freedom!
It’s my first summer with a driving license as well. Definitely some analysis paralysis going on now when deciding where to go for a road trip.
Assign places a number, 1-20, then roll a d20 for initiative :)
That’s sweet! I love going for cruises in my car. What kinda car do you got?
I’ve bought a little VW Polo!
You’ll hate to hear this, but be careful! I bumped my car a WEEK after I had passed the test. Not as bad as my aunt who got into an accident the day she passed, but still!
I’m hoping that doesn’t happen! I learned in an A3, so my car is a bit smaller which I think helps.
Congrats that’s awesome! I’m hoping to learn soon too (in my case VERY late to driving), can only imagine how good it must feel.
100% worth it! I wish I’d done it sooner now
Congrats on passing the driving test! There’s a lot of freedom that comes with having a car. That was my first taste back when I got it in secondary school. Feels great :)
I will be cooking on summer camp.
3 weeks in the middle of nowhere, bad signal, electric power from small solar panel. Fun stuff away from civilization.
I’m going to see comedian Tig Notaro this summer. I’ve always enjoyed her deadpan comedy and she’s been an icon for me as someone who is also queer and raised in the South.
Yay queer! I just came out last year (and that rhymes) :)
Attending some MLS matches up in Kansas City and spending as much time as possible with family. No big travel plans this year but definitely will be camping at state parks around the area.
Going to Glastonbury music festival in a week and a half!
Lucky! Not been for a few years but I still always get a twinge of sadness around Glastonbury weekend.
Who are you looking forward to seeing?
Probably most excited for Arctic Monkeys, but really looking forward to Blondie as well. Last went in 2017 so it’s been a while.
Moving from USA to Canada.
Not sure that qualifies as fun but it is exciting.
Congrats!! I’m hoping to do the same, as my boyfriend lives up there ^^
Absolutely want to go to hopping around my country for photo opportunities. Just how hot it stays over the summer will decide what I end up doing though.
Oooh, is that the game that kicked off rocket jumping as a strat? Or am I thinking of a different game?
I believe so, but Quakecon has evolved into the largest LAN party in North America. So lots of fun with a few thousand friends with games of all types. It’s a little smaller this year (first in-person post-covid), but probably still a blast.
I’ll be going to Lanzarote for 10 days in a week. Later I’m attending a summer camp for 2 and a half weeks. I also hope to visit my town’s festival in between these times away.
I’m wanting to do a few camping trips with friends and I’m also going back to school for a second degree!
Sounds really cool! How long does a second degree take? It is just over the course of the summer? Also, is it just one subject or general?
I am planning to go hiking with my friends and visit a spa there too. Besides, I’ll go to Berlin by train (yay D-Ticket) and visit some sights like the Pergamonmuseum before it closes some of its exhibitions for 15 years.
God, I miss the trains of Europe so much. I want a rail system like France or Germany over here. Cheap tickets and fast trains instead of windy highways and expensive gas.
The second degree takes two years, since your main degree already covered the core stuff like history, art, etc etc. So a bit shorter. I’m hoping to do it in Canada this fall, but some classes start this summer as an intro. I’m going back to finish off computer science. I started that after getting a degree in something else, but now I wanna marry my fields together :)
That museum looks really cool! I might have missed the language picker, but it was all in German when I searched for it, haha.

Yeah, people are often annoyed by delays here, but I guess in comparison to other countries it is pretty good.

Thank you :)
I’m going to Italy!
Second time I’m going (third if you count Sicily). It’s just the best country… Amazing food and people.
But important to stay away from tourist areas. That’s not Italy… That’s capitalism. :)
I’m not sure if it’s fun in the traditional sense, but I’m going to learn Python! I’ve been really unhappy in a dead-end (non retail) job and I’m hoping to branch out into tech for better opportunities (and perhaps benefits that don’t require me to use my PTO to cover mandatory holidays…) It will be a lot of work, but so far the tiny bit I have done has been really fun!
Honestly that does sound really fun! The best thing about coding is that once you’ve learned to do it decently in one language, you can pick other languages up really easy. Good luck!
My girlfriend and I are meeting up with some online friends from another state in July! We’re going to spend the day at a local amusement park. Very excited!
Also some very exciting stuff you got going on OP! What degree are you going back to school for?
Ooooh, fun! I met my boyfriend online and we’ve had the most fun ever flying to and from our cities. We just moved close to each other, so now we get more mundane visits:)
Have fun at the amusement park :D
I’m going back to school for computer science and I’m very excited. It’s gonna so refreshing to be in a school environment again. Plus im still working, so I get to turn around and immediately apply my knowledge to work. I’m thrilled!
