...while I haven't even started the vacation I already planned before. Even if it's entirely possible that I may not have a job, I figure I'm going to start buying/paying for everything now, and at worst, by then I'll broke, have to move back in with my dad, but have a full trip paid for 6 months in advance!

Been throwing around the idea of going to a bunch of MLB stadiums over a period of 3-5 years, more specifically, trying to hit all 30 stadiums in the span of 3 years, but if it takes 4-5, so be it.

Some of the easier trips would be a weekend trip, where team A is home on Friday through Sunday, and team B comes back to town Monday and plays through Wednesday/Thursday. My plan clearly would be a 3 day weekend type thing, or 4 day if there's a vacation that falls on a Monday.

Scenarios include...

Padres, Angels, Dodgers
Brewers, White Sox, Cubs
Orioles, Nationals, Phillies, Yankees, Mets
Reds, Tigers, Pirates, Indians, Blue Jays
Cardinals and Royals

I'd probably kick things off with opening day at the Astros this year.
May, probably head to Los Angeles for a Padres/Angels/Dodgers trip Memorial Day weekend. Saturday to Petco Park, Sunday to Angels Stadium, and Monday to Dodger Stadium.
June, I think the Silver Boot Series should be going on by then, so I would probably head to Arlington to watch that.
July, maybe a trip somewhere nearby... Maybe if I can find a cheap enough Delta flight (do they still exist?) to Atlanta (their hub, or whatever company owns them now anyway) and knock out a Braves game.
August, Denver seems like a possibility, again, cheap enough flight comes in to play.
September, the one of the 2 mega-trips of the project. DC, Baltimore, Philly, and New York. This should take care of 5 stadiums.
October, I may throw in a last weekend of the season trip, go see a Cardinals game, then take a train over to Kansas City, or maybe rent a car. Then come back and close out the season that Sunday with Cubs vs Astros at Minute Maid Park.

Assuming I can get all that done, that takes care of

Minute Maid Park
Petco Park
Angels Stadium
Dodgers Stadium
Ballpark in Arlington
Turner Field
Coors Field
Nationals Field
Camden Yards
Citizens Bank Park
Yankees Stadium
Citi Field
Busch Stadium
Kauffman Field

That's a hell of a summer. Considering my last "vacation" was May 2006, this is kinda drastic, I think. But well, I figure if I don't do it at this age, I may not be able to do it again until I'm in my 50s/60s.
