Re: Travel Poll
What has been your favorite vacation that you've taken?
My favorite vacation I ever took was with my mom, sisters and I. We went to Disney World for 5 days and then went on the 5 day Disney Cruise. Everything was awesome!
Do you believe in taking big trips for big anniversaries (5 years, 10 years)? Where will you go?
I don't know that we will do big trips, but we at least will do one vacation a year. We both love vacations.
What is on your travel bucket list?
Hawaii, Ireland, Greece, England, Paris
Are there any places that you've been that you will definitely go back to before you die?
I will go to Italy again before I die. Most amazing place ever.
What has been your favorite vacation that you've taken?
This made me realize I haven't been on very many vacations! I guess I would say our honeymoon because we actually relaxed or when we went to San Diego/LA because I got to see things I always wanted to.?
Do you believe in taking big trips for big anniversaries (5 years, 10 years)? Where will you go?
Yes, but maybe not BIG. We want to do Hawaii for 5 years and then we also want to go to Chicago and San Francisco. For BIG maybe at 15 or 20 we can do Italy or Greece.?
What is on your travel bucket list? Italy and Greece
Are there any places that you've been that you will definitely go back to before you die? Not yet. I haven't even been out of the US/territories!

I like the idea of big trips for the big anniversaries. I think it'll be fun to celebrate in a big way for those years.
My travel bucket list is pretty long: Spain, Italy, Greece, Russia, Maine, Boston, Napa Valley... I'm sure I can think of more

What has been your favorite vacation that you've taken? Costa Rica - it was incredible.
Do you believe in taking big trips for big anniversaries (5 years, 10 years)? Where will you go? Yes, I don't know about our 5 year, but a long time ago mh said we could go to Fiji for our 10 yr and I'm holding his feet to the fire on that one.
What is on your travel bucket list? So many! All 50 states including a drive up PCH, Vancouver, Italy (all of it), Ireland (Dublin/South/West), France (Paris), Germany, Spain, Greece (the islands, not Athens really), Australia/New Zeeland. MH would add Brazil to this list (and take off most of the European countries). I'm probably forgetting a ton.
Are there any places that you've been that you will definitely go back to before you die? I would go back to Costa Rica if there weren't so many places to see in the world. Also, Southern California, I loved it there.

I've taken several "big" trips. My first one was to London when I turned 28. I decided I'd never been and always wanted to do, and just planned a trip by myself. I had a friend who was inspired and decided to come with me for the week, and it was great.
Of course, a year later, I was working for a company that acquired a company in Cambridge UK, and I ended up going back to England 5 more times!
Hawaii, as you know, I've been to 5 times. Each time is awesome.
About 5 years ago, I decided I wanted to go to Japan. I did that one by myself. I have a friend from college who lived in Tokyo and I spent a few days with him, but for the most part, it was just me, traveling for a week, knowing no Japanese.
I haven't done too much in the tropics or the like. 2 years ago, we went to a wedding in Costa Rica. This year, Xmas - New Years, we'll do Cancun. It's our first All Inclusive trip.
Our honeymoon wasn't overly glamorous -- a few days in SF and a few more in Wine Country.
Domestically, I've been to 40 states.
So, I feel like I've done a good bit of traveling, and, I hope to do much more.
Bucket List:
Italy, France, Belgium, Egypt, China, go on safari (Not picky where in Africa I do this), the last 10 states I haven't been to...
As for "big trips" for our anniversary, quite frankly, since we won't have children, travel is one of the large expenditures I expect we'll make regularly. We won't 5 years in between big trips, and we won't wait for an "event" to take one.
