As you all know, I’m not a huge traveler.
And usually when I do want to travel, it’s less about where I’m going than it is about who I’m seeing.
If we stick specifically with a dream vacation location, then I’d say it would be to go to Europe with Mr. FG. There are a lot of places I’m interested in seeing in Europe, and since I don’t know anyone in Europe, that trip would be all about the location, not the people.
But if it’s about seeing people….well, in a year or two, I’m really hoping to be able to plan a trip with three of my friends.
We used to all go to the same church here and we were in the same small group together, but then 2/4 of us moved away.
I’ve seen all of these friends here and there over the last few years, but we have never all been together at the same time in the same place.
So! When my one friend finishes nursing school and the other two have slightly older children, I really, really hope we can get away for a long weekend with just the four of us.
Europe may not happen for a really long time, but I do think the trip with my friends is doable in the not-so-distant future.
Australia, Hawaii, Alaska (Lindsey!). And I really want to see Mount Rushmore someday.
I have a hard time traveling because I really don’t like being mobile and unmoored. Part of being an inense homebody. However, my mother-in-law went to England a few years ago with her son and sister, and they rented a house for a couple of weeks, from whence they took their excursions. I think probably that sort of “home base” stay with side trips would suit me best. As to where . . . I’ve always wanted to do a garden tour of England. Maybe some day.
I haven’t dreamed very big on vacations, but I would love to go to the Pictures Rocks National Lakeshore in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There are so many wonderful places in Michigan I have yet to explore that I don’t spend much time thinking of places to visit outside of our beautiful state. Maybe someday when my kids are older and I’ve hit most of the places in my Michigan list.
