Saturday Night Drinking/BBQ/Favorite Vacation Spot Thread
Mates,
Who is going to fire up the adult beverages and the BBQ? What's on tap? And what is your favorite vacation spot that you have actually been to, not just one that you want to visit? Indeed, maybe you are reading this post from that very spot.
EDIT: I should add, what made the vacation trip so much fun?
Cheers.

what did you hunt?
and as you know, pictures, or it didn't happen....
how is it, and do they have college football on TV up there?
Drinking one of my last DogfishHead 90 Minute IPA from vacation a couple of week ago.
Favorite (most frequented) vacation spot: Nags Head, Outer Banks (where we were, a couple of weeks ago)
Favorite ever: South Ari Atoll, Maldives
Sorrento, Italy. Great good, views and old city walking areas. Sunshine!

Water so far, not sure about tonight. Ribeye. Monterrey Bay, CA. This will change as I am cruising Europe for a week or 2 in Sept.

Off the MGoBBQ link from last fall. Glenlivet 12 to start, then a nice sauvignon blanc.
Wow, vacation question. Good one. While I lived in Europe I traveled everywhere. Really liked the Rhine. Loved going to Oktoberfest. MGoBride and I did a bike trip through Provence for anniversary XXV---that was nice. Took my dad to his WWII air base in England and thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip.
But really, I think the best place on earth is Yellowstone/Grand Teton. Glacier Nat'l Park is a close second. Grand Canyon is third.

to say that they didn't have what she went there for--a certain shelf--in stock.
My favorite vacation spot is still Up North in Glen Arbor and Empire. For me, the childhood nostalgia of vacationing Up North beats out any exotic, tropical or far-away destination. Cheers, everyone!
Oh man, same here. Give me a shout sometime when you're up, I'm usually up there a couple weekends each summer.
Arts is good, but good luck getting a table. If I can't get in there I hit Boone Docks...food not as good, but good live music.
Tired Hands beer, if you have never heard of it/tried it, I suggest you give it a try. Local Philly beer.
Steak on the grill tonight.
Anywhere in the UP is my fav, Marquette is an awesome place to visit.
Albuquerque.
Apparently Brian Cranston and I have similar taste in hotspots.
perhaps? '...it was los because of...'
Chicago and St Augustine.
Grilling chicken kebabs and burgers.
SE Asia, especially Northern Thailand
Mackinaw Island, try to spend the night there. Way different place after the day trippers leave. Also, see the locks at Sault Ste Marie and Tahquamenon Falls.
It has been a long time since I've been there, but IIR the restaurant correctly, the Bayside Restaurant was a non pricey place St Ignace and had great whitefish. May not be the Bayside, but it was a place along the island docks.
That's pretty much the itinerary.

Drinking a Switchback Ale on the deck. Smoking a Fuente, dog has a big ol' bone, wife has a book, and about to grill up some Korean BBQ pork belly (Dwaejibulgogi).
Favorite spot right now would be June Lake, CA, outside of Yosemite.
Great Brewery. Fav vaca spot? San Sebastian, Spain or Zaragoza, Spain.
Good thread.
Haven't had a drink in 24 years. But, I loved Rhinenalnder when I was young. Probably because you could drink 5 quarts of it. That and Grolsh.
Best vacation spot is the Georgian Bay in Ontario, hands down. It's quiet, the fishing is incredible, the scenery is astounding, the local towns are gorgeous, but small, and the people are wonderful. We went to a place called Kenwood cottages growing up. God bless that place I have so many wonderful childhood and adult memories there.

Tropical getaway: St. John, USVI. Incredible scenery, great snorkeling, slow pace. I stayed on the east end last time I visited and absolutely loved it. Very, very quiet.
Domestic: U.P. Nature at its best, especially the Keweenaw and western U.P.
Drinking: New Glarus Totally Naked. It fits my name well.
Eucher Pilsner. Not bad, I must say.
Favorite vacation spot: on the boat in Saugatuck. Can do either the beaches on Lake Michigan, or drinking too much and watching the world go by anchored in the Kzoo river where it cuts through the dunes.
Enjoyed this area also. Great fun motoring up the river.
alys beach?
