Here's the hot and dry weather of the year, temperature range high tend be to higher and higher.Good season for picnics,beaches,outing and perhaps travel. I usually treat my self a cruise tour during hot weather. It relax both body and mind when viewing the wide and cool sea view,during the tour I can treat your self a SPA,mini golfing,swimming,gyms enjoy variety of sumptuous cuisine while watching listening to live band. Cruise tour during summer is bit costly than normal but it ensure value-for-money special highlights that leaves me with a great variety of different and rich experiences.I just love cruise tour during summer,for me its a great fum! How about you guys what do you like/love to do during summer?

I've never been to the spa or been on a cruise, but those would both be fun to do this summer! Sure wish I had the money for them - LOL! Those are great ideas, though. For the summer, I usually start by painting my toenails again because I wear sandals and flip flops so I have to have them painted before I can show them off! I also like the enjoy the warmer weather by going outside and trying to get a tan. I need a tan! I like to get my hair done for the summer with some highlights to get a lighter color that is more characteristic for the season. My husband and I go to the park since there's a lake to swim in. I'm in Michigan, but nowhere near the Great Lakes so we only swim in the smaller lakes or pools. I wish I were near the ocean. I love to lay out on the beach and sleep or read a book. Speaking of reading, I love to read during the summer. It's fun to be lazy when it's warm. I just like to lay around the house or outside and read. Now I'll have to take my laptop with me so I can stay on MyLot too! There are so many things to do in the summer with the weather being so nice. This summer, my husband and I want to clean out our garage. We haven't lived at our house even a year yet so we have lots of things to go through and get rid of, but it's been too cold during the winter to go out to the garage since it isn't heated. It should be nice out soon to start on our project! Our things out there are still all in boxes so we don't even know what's in them! It should be interesting to find all these things we'd forgotten about for the ten months we've lived at our house! Isn't that sad? Oh well...I'm hoping to find some wonderful treasures. (LOL) Oh, and I can't forget to tell you my absolutely FAVORITE thing to do in the summer - go to garage sales! Thanks for asking. What a fun discussion. I love thinking about and planning for summer.

You're right - swimming is one of the favorites in the summer, especially if it's really hot out and the water is cool. That's feels nice. It helps out the tan too. he he!

hello cloud! wow! how i wish i can do cruising as well...hehe but i don't have enough money to spend...hehe well anyway, during summer, when i was a kid i love it coz its time for us to go swimming (even if i am not good in swimming) and i like it coz that's also the time for summer sportsfest in our place...there's a lot of fun activities to do during summer and also i love eating the halo-halo, snowball & banana con yelo! but these days, i think its really really hot and i can't stand the burning sun when i am outside so i prefer to stay at home...haha but i also like to go swimming but not on the beach, instead i like to go where there's falls coz the water there is colder and its perfect for summer to feel cooler & fresher!

halo halo - one of the popular food in the Philippines for summer.

combination of different kinds of sweetened/fresh fruits, top with leche flan, & ice cream with crushed ice & milk...
hello hatley... banana con yelo is just a sweetened cardava banana with crushed ice & milk. while halo halo is one of the most popular food here for summer here in the Philippines... and another is the mais con yelo ( corn kernels with crushed ice & milk & a bit a sugar)

I really just love summer itself. I love doing anything in the warmth and sunshine. This year I really hope to be able to spend a lot of time with my sister and her little one who is due soon, going for walks and little stuff like that. I like going to parks and maybe doing a little camping. I love summer!

During the summer, I like to spend more time outside. I also visit my family up north when I can. Summers for me aren't much different than the reast of the year, but I still like the vibe they have. Everyone seems to be in a much better mood and in the mood to relax. It's great. I love cruises, too, but I hardly ever have the chance to go on them. Prices for cruises are amazing now, though!

One thing i love to do during summer is to go swimming with my friends and relatives. Its the only time i can go bonding and spend time with my relatives and friends since most of them go to school. We like to go to different beaches and take pictures all the time. We always want to capture the happy moments that we had. Summer wont be as special as it is if i dont get the chance to be with them.

hi cloud 31 on my finances I might be able to buy a candybar 'downstairs in our Gold crest little store, but a cruise any where is totally out of the question. I would love to just drive down'to Newport beach and sun myself on the beach and watch the surf, ' oh I do not drive so would take the bus, but it gets me down' there. but have not gone for a long time do to a lot of family problems that dumped me in this tiresome retirement center.ugh ugh. ugh.

Hi Hatley, I guess if you're just nearby the beaches and its no longer necessary for you to have a cruise tour,you can just sit in the bench in the nearby beach and gaze at the sunrise and sunset can make you relax yourself. I just love doing that because myself will never had a break for the whole year and I will just take a chance during summer(if falls on easter holiday).A year of loaded task for me.And the cruise will only last for 3-days and 2 night, its not really that long but at least I had enjoy my 2 days holiday out of 365 days a year.. I hope you will have a chance to relax yourself too! Nice day!

Wow, I've never been on a cruise tour before. What cruise tour do you take? and how much does it costs? I have been thinking of cruising someday, and I really want to do it while I'm still single and don't have any expenses yet. Like most Filipinos, our family tend to go to beach and resorts just too battle the heat. I love going to the beach and just hang out and relax, and just forget about my work and other stuff.

Ahhh. Cruises are quite expensive, but I still really want to do it, maybe that would be by next project, to save enough from my online earnings to pay for a cruise. Hehehe. I surely hope I can do that before I get married, or maybe I can do that for our honeymoon. Hmmmm. Thanks for the info. Have a nice day!

Hi ing, Personally Ilove asian cruise tours and Caribbean tour this costs about USD 450 up for single person,that will last for 3-4 days, cost will depends on the destination and how many days you gonna spend over,a lot of choices for places and you can have a choice of voyage. Beach and resorts also bring a lot of fun,most people during summer spend their time going those places, I love that too! Thank you for sharing and Happy myLotting!

Hi IJ, if i don't go to the beach in summertime i normally stay home and live in the swimmingpool. Our summers here get extremely hot and you can only take so much. But a nice cruise sounds awesome. TATA.

i like the summer scrub better, particularly the ones you get from public spas in seoul. that relaxes the muscles and puts the mind in a better perspective. but summertime here in the philippines, there are beaches and good diving spots where one can pass the heat of summer and imbibe in the cool waters of the seas. but those things are better done with the family or loved ones...

indeed, my dear friend. as a matter fact, i miss the public spas more than the chic ones in seoul. it's also good to have the same kind of scrub in tokyo, but it's quite expensive. unlike in seoul, there are spas where 3,000 won can give you a heavenly relaxation and a good dose of cleanup. i just miss those days and hope to make a trip to seoul again... soon...

Thank you for sharing friends! Happy myLotting!

Really? that's what i like to do in the near future because i didn't experience cruising ever since. Glad that you are enjoying this experiences. We only go to the nearby beaches or resorts during summer together with my husband and daughter and sometimes with our friends and families. I personally love to eat that's why i make myself happy eating all sorts of my favorite fruits like mangoes, watermelons etc. during hot summer days.

Hello jinjer168 Its good you have your family with you to enjoy summer holiday,beaches and resorts its a nice place to go during hot weather, and it gives more meaning the family having a great time together.Eating fruits during tropical weather is good for skin and to prevent dehydration. Thank you for sharing and enjoy your summer holiday!

For starters I like the fact that you can go outside at night and its still warm, no jacket or sweater needed. The summer time, gives everyone energy to where they stay active during the day, unlike the winter time when we all become lazy and stay indoors. Its the best time to have family outings like barbecues, picnics, and pool parties. For those of you girls that like to get tans, summer is the one time to get that tan and look great! Its the only time you get to show off your new bathing suit to your man and the time where your man gets to wear no shirt and look good doing it. And finally its the time when iced tea and lemonade taste the best!!

I'm not really a summer person, I prefer rainy days over sunny days. The heat has just become so unbearable the past couple of months, that I would usually hide out in my air-conditioned room. lol. normally during summer, I try to go to cold places just to wait out the summer heat.

Hi cloud, Seeing the way you enjoy summer, I feel I could accompany you on cruise during one of the summer! U know cloud, as part of my official duty I was required to sell on a ship continueously for 15 days. Those 15 days I used to enjoy the cool breeze of sea on deck of the ship. Watchinf sunrise and SUnset from middle of the sea, is really a freat experience, i can't describe in words. I did watch these beautiful scene everyday during those 15 days. Exercising on deck was also a pleasent experienced. I did enjoy these kind of duty for about 4 years. Yes when on shore, In summer I enjoy to go to beaches and bathing (Not sweeming) in sea. I have visited some of the famous sea beaches in India, GOa, Diu, Pondicherry to name a few. Other thing I enjoy is going to bank of river and sit quitely on its bank and listen to sound of flowing water, I am in love of that sound. I also enjoy going on hill stations. india have some wonderful hill stations like Shimala, manali, masoorrie, ooty, kodai canal, maha baleshawr, nainital Matheran and so on, i have visited almost all of them. In fact I enjoy to be with nature, whenever feasible, I go to Mother nature and enjoy its beauty, in whatever form. And i get peace of mind in doing so! Happy Mylotting and enjoy!

Hi friend,Exactly I love cruise tour because of the relaxing feeling it brings,I just feel so enjoy looking at the sea view and apart from it I can indulge myself in a SPA and entertainment inside the cruise. I just love the hospitality of the crew and all things inside are really worth for spending! Thank you for sharing friend! Good day!

During summer its always great to plan something like family outing or just picnics or a simple get together that will bring the family closer. I like swimming the most making me feel so relaxed while enjoying the time with loved ones. This is the time of the year where in we get to see each other and spend some quality time as well.After all those busy days working and for my nephews school ,this time all we are thinking about is how to enjoy and relax which is the real purpose of a family gathering ;)
