Dreaming of Travel........

Not Afraid · 05-30-2007, 10:02 AM

Maybe it is the stress, but I've had terrible wanderlust lately. I really want to hop on a plane and disappear in a unfamiliar (or even familiar) city or immerse myself in somewhere silent and calm. So far, I've almost justified trips to:

Japan
New York
Seattle

And I'm doing my best to justify New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Alaska.

If the dollar didn't suck so much Scotland, France, Prague, Berlin and Ireland would be on the list too.

Where do you want to go?

Deia, Mallorca.

Wow, you have major wanderlust!

I just have been dreaming of getting away up the coast {I know, my major next deal is into the forest...} and enjoying some fog and the smell and sound of the ocean.

I'm stressing, but for other reasons {even as I sit here on this site ignoring all of my issues...} and want to hop in the car and go somewhere. Anywhere at this point.

But, I really am dreaming of heading up to Monterey for a few days, never been to Asilomar and looking forward to that. Also, never been away from home for the fourth of July, this will be interesting.

Thinking of getting away is what holds me together.

Flying? I'd love to go and explore more of the US. Dinosaur digs, digging for emeralds/diamonds {whatever, just for fun}, Mt. Rushmore, New England. Alaska...beautiful.

I can take the family with me because they ditch me a lot so I do end up with a lot of quiet me time.

Ooo!! Morri! Your pics remind me of Samatha Browns' trip to a town in Italy...that is where I would love to go. Looks like your first picture....

Can't wait for our Chicago/NY trip this fall. Woo!

DisneyWorld!
or
Australia to go diving with Sharkies!

New Zealand next year almost definitely (got to visit the world's cutest nephews).

I want to do surf camp somewhere warm, like this.

France - I would love to visit during the Tour de France.

Me, too!

Next year I'm going to Dorset for a week with my best friend. I'm dreaming mostly of that.

But I may also make a somewhat impromptu trip to Alaska in November, to live out my life long dream of being a fisherman groupie.

Mallorca is one of the most amazing, serene and beautiful islands I've had the pleasure of going. I could really picture you there right now, NA.
