This summer TMAN will be doing at least 2 camping trips, and possibly a trip elsewhere. This means it’s time to start saving up and thinking about where you’d like to go. Below are some ideas and some considerations. If you have other comments/suggestions please post them below info@tmanphilly.com.
There are three big holidays in the summer, Memorial day, July 4th, and Labor day. All of these weekends are good opportunities to go on trips, go camping or set up simple cookouts in Fairmount or Roosevelt park.
Camping:
Summer trip:
- At the Beach LA - Biggest feature is a big party on the beach at the end of the pride celebration. However, LA is spread out and somewhat expensive
- Miami Sizzle - The beach is within driving distance, but this trip is coming up soon so there’s less time to save
- Las Vegas – There aren’t any specific events going on here but Vegas is relatively cheap – 5* condos go for around $100 during the summer since it’s extremely hot. There’s gambling (obviously), and fun things to do until 4 or 5am.
- New Orleans Black Pride This year the theme seems to be “Blame it on the Alcohol”. Anyone else been to New Orleans or have any other insights?

I’m voting according to what costs less, and a time when I can get a few dollars saved up – the later in the summer, the better for me. BT (Atlanta) thinks a joining up for a camp trip to Virginia with his group of guys is a GREAT idea, I agree. Meeting them halfway means VA is a cool spot, and it is (somewhere in the Shenandoah Valley, PERHAPS??). And I voted for Vegas coz I got family there, and it costs about $129 round trip to fly, if purchased in advance. CHEAP!! Is a fantastic city!!
