I am sure everyone has or will develop cabin fever, this mild mid-January. Have any of you started summer vacations/railfan trips?

Personally, I doubt I will take a major vacation. But I will take advantage of my work schedule and my wife's teacher's summer to go on multiple long weekend trips.

Not really a summer trip, but I am very eager to head to Chicago again! I love railfanning in this area. Last year the weather was poor for the most part, but I only had two days in Chicago. This year, I am planning atleast four.

I will be layed off for three weeks in Febuary. I hope to head out to Sandpoint ID. on monday the 6 and stay there for a week or so, we'll see bringing the GF with so might have to cut it short.

I haven't decided yet. I've been considering Duplainville (went this last July, no good shots.), the Canadian Rockies, and Lake Superior's north shore. Usually I take 2 medium-sized trips, or one long vacation during the summer. I'll have my Digital Rebel XT by spring break or so... hopefully sooner.
