summertime planning

{ Summer 2011, Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL }

One of the things I look forward to most about the summer is outdoor music festivals. A sunny day spend outside with friends, drinking beer and listening (and dancing) to live music - to me, this is just about as good as it gets! With it being D's first summer not at camp, I feel a heavy responsibility to plan a summer full of fun activities so he's not left yearning for the north.
One of the things I'm planning and personally, looking forward to most, is returning to Osheaga in Montreal. I went with girlfriends two summers ago and fell in love. Montreal is a only short drive away, the three day festival pass is affordable at $235 and what's got me even more excited is looking at accommodations on AirBnB. We didn't use it while we were backpacking but this seems like the perfect opportunity to try it out! I'm in love with this place and can't help but let my imagination run wild!

I'm curious, have you ever used airbnb while on vacation or traveling? Did you have a good or bad experience? Do you love summer music festivals as much as I do?
