Travel Wish List
So to stay awake during a training this morning, I came up with our family vacations schedule for at least the next 12 years. I do have some trips for Brian and I planned to. Let's just say one of us needs to find a side job, maybe he can start doing wills. ha ha
What places are on your travel wish list?
Re: Travel Wish List
So on our family list, I have
Sesame Place - Philly
Disney
Family Resort out west (one of those really nice resorts you see on the Travel channel with family activities, great food, etc.)
VA Beach/DC - when kids are older and we can do the history stuff
West Coast - WA and OR
AZ - to visit BIL and go to a ball game
Mall of America/WI Dells - do during tween years to bribe the girls with shopping)
Beaches or Club Med type place
England (ages 12+)
For Brian and I, I had NYC, Boston, Denver, Mexico or another warm weather place, and the one city that has a baseball stadium that I need to still go to (I could only think of 10 of the 11 stadiums I still have to visit)
Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, visiting the Pacific NW, and taking the coastal highway from the NW to southern California. And the East Coast like Boston, and Maine, and going back to Ocean City, Maryland (where we used to vacation a lot as kids). I really have no want to go south, we aren't "beach" people.
We would need side jobs too, a few of them
I think it would actually be easier to write out the places that are not on my wish list.
I really want to go almost anywhere (as long as it is safe).
AZ- Sedona and the Grand Canyon and NM- Taos
East Coast tour- Maine, Vermont, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket
Upstate New York- the Adirondacks
Pacific Northwest, and Vancouver- British Columbia, Canadian Rockies- Banff
St. Bart's
Puerto Rico
Cabo
Alaska
Hawaii
Disney
And then the "someday" trips (***sigh*** ):
Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece
Argentina
I LOVE that you picked the Adirondacks! J's family has a "camp" on Lake Sacandaga that we go to every summer. It is soooo beautiful and relaxing. We try to take a few day trips to more northern areas of the Adirondacks while we are there too--this year we visited Lake Placid and did all the "Olympic stuff". Awesome!
These are the biggies in no particular order:
Montreal
Boston
San Francisco
Yosemite
Maui/Kaui/Big Island
St. Lucia
And pretty much the entire continent of Europe.
We haven't really talked about it but we would like to be successful enough with in 5 years to spend Christmas in the Keys.
Other idea's
Pacific Highway Trip
Cruise somewhere?
Ireland
Antigua
I don't have a long list mainly because I haven't thought about it
Ditto. We've got a list ranked by priority. It's long, and we add places frequently. We don't just need side jobs - we need major vacation time, too!
I love all your lists! I'm struggling with the vacation issue right now. We spent most of the vacay budget (and a chunk of M's vacation time from work) on a destination wedding. I loved being with the family, but the destination was not my first pick (and may not have been on the list).
Here's mine, in no particular order:
Munich, Prague, Poland (as one trip)
Italy
France (probably Rhone Valley, Burgundy)
Sweden (visit friends)
Ireland
Southern Brazil (visit friends)
New Orleans
NYC
Oregon
Maine
Quebec City
Banff
Top of my list right now is Italy. I've been watching too much House Hunters International though because I want to visit about every town they visit.
I would love to go back to Ireland. It's so beautiful there.
More locally I would want to go to Boston sometime soon.
