Post-Bar/Summer Vacation

  • Law

While taking the bar can be a rewarding experience, it is most rewarding if it is followed by a nice post-bar exam vacation. In fact, any life can be better with a little vacation. Since today is the last day of July and we’ve only got a month before school starts, we thought it would be a good idea to talk about vacation ideas. What are the best spots for a post-bar/end of summer getaway? Let’s put your budget at $2,000 and no longer than a week. Where do you like to go? Where do you recommend? Do you go camping or do staycations? Do you drive or fly? Do you take the kids or leave them with grandma?

Disneyland. Not even a second thought about it.

Camping is the number one option. Cheap and my family has more fun than dropping $1500+ on a 2 day trip to D-Land. I'd be ok to never go there again. My kids get tired after waiting in 2 mid sized lines and are ready to eat overpriced food we can get at home.

July 31, 2013 at 11:24 AM – NEVER GO THERE AGAIN? You know who never wants to go to Disneyland again? Commies and Satan lovers, that's who! I'm shocked, shocked I say, of your blatant hatred of Mom, Apple Pie and the American Flag and if you disagree with me you love Hitler.

Bar trips are a relic of the past when you were likely to be employed soon after graduation with a salary that wasn't laughable in comparison with your student loan debt.

Amen 1:49 – What exactly have the prospective newbies done to warrant taking a vacation most of them can't afford?

I am also against Disneyland. Shark Pimp has the luxury of no law loans. We usually just go camping, and, within a four hour radius of Las Vegas there are some great options.

Shark Pimp, wasn't there some issue with Walt Disney being a Hitler fan? I may be a little fuzzy on my history, but I know there were at least reports or speculation along those lines. If that is the case, then going to Disneyland may not be all that American.

Both Hitler and Henry Ford were openly anti-Semetic. It is well-documented. Carl Karcher, the guy who founded Carl's Jr. has also been widely reported to have been an anti-Semite.

Where are good camping spots within four hours of LV? I'm assuming in UT somewhere? Spill the beans!

@11:08 if you are still reading this in Utah there are some camping spots around Bryce Canyon/Zion National Park, some of the campgrounds are national parks so you have to go through the reservation system but it is all fairly reasonably priced (and a good thing about going there now is the temperature is comfortable not 100 degrees at 7:00 am). I don't know if there are campgrounds up there, but there are a lot of good hiking trails around the Provo/Salt Lake City area. If you are looking in Arizona I've heard Sedona is nice although I've never been there. In Nevada there is Valley of Fire State Park and you can also camp out by Red Rock (which be warned is basically a primitive campground/no hook ups/tents on rocks and hot as hell in summer), I've also had some friends go up to Mt. Charleston and enjoy it up there. If you are willing to go to a little farther into California, there are a ton of places along the ocean, in Santa Barbara (and elsewhere), Yosemite, etc.
