We finally have our Safari 2017 all dialed in for this summer, Kenya Tanzania and Rwanda. Our goal is to experience the Great Migration and go Gorilla Trekking in the jungle of in Rwanda.

I plan to take my friend from TRF along for the trip too.

We LOVE Singita properties as they are recognized as one of Africa’s most influential collectors of wine, with an extensive cellar showcasing a premium selection of wines, including some of the continent’s most sought-after private reserves, including Exclusive Release, Limited Single Vineyard and Rare Auction Wines.

Where are you going?

Are you planning on taking TRF along with you too?

Nations Capital trip with the fam along with Maryland coast and all along the seaboard. Keeping it simple this year.

Old Expat Beast · 4 June 2017, 11:46 AM

Have a great trip. I've stayed in a couple of Singita properties in SA (Lebombo and Castleton), but preferred Nicky Oppenheimer's Tswalu over in the Kalahari. Really enjoyed the safari experience. Will be doing the Amalfi coast and/or a Med cruise this year. Won't be taking TRF.

Etschell · 4 June 2017, 11:53 AM

Hard rock for a few days in Hollywood then captiva for a week.

swils8610 · 4 June 2017, 12:03 PM

Jackson Hole Wyoming this July. Not sure where else the summer will take us.

Going here in two weeks, after that maybe a baseball road trip or two.

GerardoG · 4 June 2017, 12:22 PM

Taking TRF along? I never leave them!!!!!!!

One Ping Only · 4 June 2017, 01:29 PM

Sounds great Larry!

We just did Big Sur (review post to come) and Paso Robles wine tasting. A few shorter local trips on the horizon.

xwalker4 · 4 June 2017, 01:38 PM

Nothing as exciting for me - my girlfriend is moving to Dallas in a few weeks so all my trips will be there to visit her.

With the family in Bar Harbor, ME now, will be going to visit friends in CT for a few days and then end the trip in Boston.

Later in the summer, going on another trip to the TX hill county to camp and float down the Frio River.

Dan Pierce · 4 June 2017, 01:52 PM

France & Bahamas, in that order.

Rags · 4 June 2017, 01:54 PM

Aruba in the fall..

MisterClean · 4 June 2017, 02:38 PM

We are going East coast/west coast this year.

We will be visiting Disneyland and the rest of the West coast this fall, and a trip to visit friends in NYC this Christmas. The wife will probably make a trip back home to Brazil, but I plan on sitting that one out.

Pretty excited about Disneyland, it will be my wife's first time at Disney, and my first time at Disneyland. When I was growing up, we always made trips to Disneyworld and had a blast.

TheVTCGuy · 4 June 2017, 03:40 PM

I would like to announce that for my vacation.....

LARRY IS TAKING ME WITH HIM ON HIS VACATION!!!

rootbeer7 · 4 June 2017, 05:18 PM

With 4 kids, it's a Canary Island all-inclusive, with a kids club!!!

walds11 · 4 June 2017, 05:25 PM

Holy sh*t Larry, what a trip you have planned there. I'm only going to Montego Bay, Jamaica during 4th of July week.

daveathall · 4 June 2017, 05:42 PM

I'm going to London for a short break for my 60th birthday in two weeks time and to Krakow in Poland for a week in September. Cant wait for either trip.

Pangit · 4 June 2017, 06:29 PM

11 night Western Mediterranean cruise with Celebrity in late August taking in Italy, South of France and Spain.

BigCFM · 4 June 2017, 07:00 PM

St Lucia in a couple of months

mjclark32 · 4 June 2017, 07:39 PM

Wow. A safari trip is definitely on the bucket list. From my buddies that have done it, you'll have a blast! The Mrs is about 3 to 4 months pregnant so it'll have to be down the road.
This year we've got a packed travel list.
Starting at the end of the month we have a week at the beach (Avalon /Stone harbor NJ). Leave a day early for a ten day trip to Italy/Vatican. Get in 7/4 and fly out 7/8 for a wedding in Idaho.
Should keep me busy until the baby comes

Italy and The Vatican are someplace I'd love to get to one day. Excited for you guys that your going

Are you making the annual trip to SPA in August?

swatty · 4 June 2017, 08:49 PM

Just been away to Indonesia and Singapore , will going skiing in Oz in august

SDRider · 4 June 2017, 09:01 PM

Heading to Maui in a couple weeks. Can't wait, we have a few fun things planned already including a helicopter tour of the island.

KarlS · 4 June 2017, 09:26 PM

Larry thats the way to safari! I lived in Tanzania for 4 years so was spoilt rotten with weekend get aways and should be on everyones bucket list even if you not a huge fan of safari's.

I seem to have Orlando / a cruise / Miami and other spots in Floriday over June / July

august1410 · 4 June 2017, 09:31 PM

It's not glamorous, but it's going to be a lot of fun. I'm going back home to Baltimore for a few days. A high school friend has gotten his old band back together for a reunion show. Might be fun to watch a bunch of middle aged guys crank out some glam metal and such. It's turning into a big get together of old high school friends, too.

We're going to spend a day hitting the art museums downtown with our sixteen year old daughter, too. Additionally, I have already mentioned a trip to Radcliffe Jewelers to the wife so I can take a glance at some of the watches there. I believe a guy who works there is a member here on the forum. Would be cool to meet another TRF member while I am in town.

Amex4711 · 4 June 2017, 09:33 PM

We're planning Vegas again for September this year

Yes sir

Probably only for a long weekend this year vs our normal 7+ days. The in-laws have a lot more horses this year so there will be action almost every day I'm sure

Beo3 · 4 June 2017, 10:17 PM

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in 23 days (but whose counting). Then in October six days in Curacao.

colpol · 4 June 2017, 10:18 PM
