I'd stay here/home (UNLESS could be in Britain, Italy, or France with my daughter!)

I'm ON the river, off Turner.

Even hardcore alcoholics stay home and let the amateurs have the night. Speaking from experience.

... as a former New Yorker, I never did the Times Square thing - always thought it would be too crowded. Now, I regret that... it would be cool, well COLD, too! I did do the Rose Parade sleep over in CA.

marched when Penn State was in the Rose Bowl and marched in the parade. They did the sleep over in CA.

... our "sleep over" here is when we go the night before and sleep on Colorado Boulevard! Another thing we did was get a good parking place and sleep over in the car. I used to go to Colorado Bl every Sunday and shop around. "Old Town Pasadena" will be setting up the stands and roadblocks about now...

when we were older. Never did.

It's OK by me. I've been to so many amazing events in NYC. Well, not since covid.

But did get to the New York Botanical Garden this past summer after 4 yrs not going.

for about 9 yrs. I visited it several times a year in the Spring & Summer.

...Square thing once, said, "NEVER AGAIN!"

Hour in line, no food, no place to pee. She said it totally wasn't worth it, at least not for her.

She lives vicariously thru Emily in Paris on Netflix

Standing on the moon
Where talk is cheap and vision true
Standing on the moon
But I would rather be with you
Somewhere in San Francisco
On a back porch in July
Just looking up to heaven
At this crescent in the sky

I watch the Tournament of Roses Parade on television every New Year's Day, but I would love to see it in person. It's on my bucket list, but I doubt I'll ever achieve it.

of taping it.

Podunk!

Between 1977 & 2007, my bands played NYE 28.
Another 2, the band wasn't together long enough to ve gigging and/or have an NYE date booked. So, the band through a party where we played.
So, I've long been New Tear's Eved out.
But, if I was actually going to do NYE & could go anywhere because I'm guessing in would be fun it would be: Sydney, London, or Naples.

1] Never been there, would love to visit. Though which island?!

2] only once have I been in a very warm place when it was cold here in NYC.
A gifted vacation to Puerto Rico in
earlyish March about ?20+ yrs back. . It suddenly got down to close to single digits ?windchill, not sure, or straight cold up here, while it was 85° down there.

And since PR has close ties w NYC the San Juan News Channel showed a reporter in NYC in a seriously hooded coat reporting on the cold w map.

vacations later in life after my income was rather lower.

The first place to celebrate New Year's is Kiritimati Island, also known as Christmas Island, which is part of the Republic of Kiribati. Kiribati is located in the Pacific Ocean, east of the International Date Line.

Kiribati is the first to celebrate New Year's because of its location in the world's farthest forward time zone, which is 19 hours ahead of New York City. For example, when Kiritimati celebrates New Year's Day at midnight, it's still 5 AM EST in New York City.

I'd sit in a cafe on the Piazza San Marco and drink Prosecco.

I spent New Year’s Eve in London in 1994. Stayed in the area around Trafalgar Square with thousands of others. You hear about how rowdy the Brits get but it was quite peaceful and people were having fun.

My ancestors came from there and I have always wanted to go to Ireland and see where my great grandparents lived, visit the church where they were baptized and married and then tour the rest of the country. What a dream it would be to ring in the new year listening to a session at an Irish pub! Happy New Year Deb! I hope Paris is in your future!

2023

For New Years Eve, I'd rather be in a quiet town or village in the Adirondacks.


Staying in a log cabin, going antiquing, hiking, taking in the scenery.

I used to want to be on Maui for New Year's Eve until I actually spent New Year's Eve on Maui. I didn't realize that it was louder than the 4th of July. There's something to be said about being in a place that's usually too cold for outside fuckery.

That is hilarious!

Beautiful city. Only been once.

What I mean is, The Outer Banks!

Home....

Been watching Death in Paradise and we want to visit, New Years Eve would be cool.

have never done that

We visited Paris last year in January and were treated to snow! I did enjoy the city, lots to see even in winter, and without the crowds.

With relatives- it where I left my heart.

I've spent hours just walking around the city. So much to see.

I’d love to spend Christmas in Bruges.

I went there for three weeks in 2006 and I never wanted to leave!

miss it.

My ancestors built that castle I'll have you know!

Although most nights in New Orleans are New Years Eveish. Great place to Let the Good Times Roll.

Because Berlin is a party town! 🎉

It's in Boulder, Colorado.

I always wanted to go to it, alone with my wife, but never did. It's a beautiful old hotel.

It's on my bucket list I guess, although I'm not sure I'll ever actually do it.

It seems to fall through the cracks, and now America itself is cracking up. When Trump does Ukraine with Mexico, Mexico may take back what it lost in 1846.

We're doing Washington DC this year for New Years to say goodbye to the United States.
