Well, I have been talking a lot about my upcoming cruise to Alaska, so you may wonder why I am already talking about planning another trip. For me a lot of the fun of traveling is planning where to go and all the details that go along with it. I know my cruise with my grandsons will be fun and share many milestones from their first airplane trip, and first time on a ship. I’m really looking forward to sharing the adventure.
But I am already feeling the need to roam. Its been a while since I have been on the road. Being a hot weather person, I know my next destination will be to somewhere warm, but the big questions are when and where.
Should it be a roadtrip, a cruise, or something else? Maybe a combination of the two. I have so many things on my bucket list of places to go, but we also have to think about the time available and budget concerns.
Planning a retreat or vacation has a lot of moving parts. I have a whole checklist of things to make sure I have covered before I walk out the door towards each adventure. This may seem like a chore to many, but nothing makes me happier than browsing websites of potential spots to visit and things to do. It allows the dreamer in me to spread its wings again.
One of the things that I have always wanted to do is visit Hawaii or the South Pacific. I will do that one of these days. But for now I think I hear the road calling me. I have several friends in Florida that I haven’t seen in a while and the warm sun and sand of the ocean is singing its siren song.
For now, I will keep dreaming and exploring websites and travel books to find my next destination. I may not know where or when I am going but thats part of the fun of all this, there is always a new destination and dream to follow. Whats your dream?
Hope to hear more about yours .
Sunshine and smiles…..

I think our dream, the wife and I, has always been a cross country trip via Amtrak. We would love to have a cabin to ourselves and watch the countryside as we travel west across the United States to Seattle.I have seen a good deal of the Eastern U.S. but not much of the North Western U.S.
That sounds like a fun adventure. I have thought about traveling via train, but have not done one where I had a cabin. Let me know if you do it. I would love to hear about your experiences.
Carla,
I always thought it would be a fun adventure. It will probably be a retirement trip most likely.
