I grabbed lunch with these 2 chicas on Black Friday, and we started tossing around ideas for a spring/summer vacation. One wants to go to Greece, another says beach vacations should be done in the winter, and my next desired travel destination is Southeast Asia - specifically, Thailand if I had to choose just one place. So we went round and round trying to figure out what we want to do, if we want to do a 'winter' vacation or a spring vacation, if we want to do international, if a cruise makes sense...there are so many things to think about. I have spent next to no time on the West Coast of the US, so if we go anywhere in the US, I think California would be my top choice. Is it realistic to say I want to start in northern California and make our way south and end up in San Diego? I've also (I can't believe I'm about to admit this) never been to New York City as an adult. I spent 1/2 day there on a school trip when I was 13, and that's it! So that's near the top of my list of places to see in the US. And Boston! Lucky for me, a friend was just staffed on a new assignment in Boston so I'm definitely planning to go visit - maybe for Memorial Day weekend with a couple extra days tacked on one side or the other?
And, for MLK weekend there are tentative plans to go skiing in Whistler. If that works out, I'd plan to spend at least 1 day in Seattle before venturing into Canada. We'll see what actually ends up happening, as the group I would go with is not exactly awesome at planning in advance. Different strokes...
So anyway, that leaves my travel list looking a little like this:
- Thailand/Laos/Cambodia
- San Fransisco/LA/San Diego
- NYC
- Seattle/Vancouver/Whistler
- always, always, always Australia & New Zealand (but I'm saving that for my honeymoon)
- Turks & Caicos
Where are you dreaming of traveling to?
I actually had a friend who flew into San Fran, rented a convertible, and drove down the Cali coast...he loved it!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to Thailand; however I have all my vacations for next year planned (unlike your friends, apparently, I plan ridiculously far in advance...haha) and we're probably doing Australia in 2013 :)
I have never been outside of the US but if I did, I'd want to go to England/Ireland I think. Also, I'd love to go to Vancouver too, if that counts as outside the US.
ReplyDeleteI've traveled most of the US but I'm DYING to go to Maine and Vermont. Seriously...dying. It's pretty much the only place I haven't spent time. I also want to explore New Orleans.
