[MayDay]

I took two vacation-ish trips this year, the first was to Phoenix (and Puerto Peñasco, Mexico), the second was to Chicago. Here's a look back at what I saw:

As soon as we landed, it was off to Puerto Peñasco, Mexico:

That's all, folks! :)

Ahhhh yes, the trips of 2006. I still appreciate the gals down south of the border on the boat. But I'm leary of any beer with "Burning" in the name. Thanks for the repost MayDay.

[The-New-Tony-Detroit]

Those were two fine looking trips!

Anything on tap in '07?

I hear Cincinnati is real scenic! ;)

[ColDayMan]

Fun stuff!

[Buckeye Native 001]

Spiders are falling from the sky and preying on the citizens of Chicago! OMG RUN!

I'm guessing you stayed at the Biltmore during your Phoenix trip? :tup:

[Wheelingman04]

You had more fun than I did this past summer.

[HomeInMyShoes]

Chicago is just so sweet. Thanks for the glimpse into your holidays.

I want to say 2006 was a good year for me. I really want to.

Great pics.

That must've been a bad year for spiders at the JHC.

Nice. Mexico looks great. Chicago almost looks tropical with the sandy beach in the foreground of that one picture.

And lastly, this pic almost looks middle eastern to me:
