Maybe I should become a travel agent...

This weekend went by too quickly as always.  I kept saying Saturday yesterday like it still was Saturday instead of Sunday.  John kept reminding me it was Sunday in the tone of voice that people tell children things right before they pat them on the head.  It kept bringing me disappointment.  Oh well.  It's real life.  And thankfully I have to a job to go to on Mondays, although, I'm really praying that the whole lottery thing works out for me...I could be so productive outside of working!  Like, travelling the world!

I've been dying for a vacation lately and I love planning trips.  Planning trips is almost as much fun as going on them for me.  So, I give you...

My Top 10 Vacation Plans

1. Costa Rica
It's beautiful

has great surfing

and an amazing rain forest!

I would like to get there in the not so distant future.  If I can get our miles for our credit card squared away by then, it's a done deal!

2. A trip up the Pacific Coast Highway with many stops!
The Redwood Forest 
The trees are huge
beautiful and magnificent.


California Wine Country

San Fransisco

Big Sur Coast


3.  Germany
There are many reasons I want to go to Germany.  The countryside is spectacular (so I've heard and seen in pictures) the architecture is a work of art and has a history that has effected the entire world.  It is somewhere I've wanted to go since a 4th grade history lesson on World War II.
Frankfurt

Rhine Valley

horrible concentration camps

and lots of pretty castles

4.  Fiji
Hello gorgeous!

amazing reefs and scuba diving

and when I go, I want to stay in one of these!

5.  New York, New York!
I've been to New York once and I thought the city was awesome!  It had so much going on and there was so much to see.  I have to go again and soak it all in once more!

6. United Kingdom

Dublin, Ireland

Edinburgh, Scotland

London

Wales

My heritage is English, Scottish and Irish, so hence this trip.  Beside the fact that it's a beautiful area of the world.

7.  The Swiss Alps
Hiking

Snowboarding?!  Yes, please!

8.  The Grand Canyon & Las Vegas

I've never been to Vegas, but John and I will make it there eventually.  We've talked about doing a white water rafting trip through the canyon where you stop and camp over night a few nights.



9.  Tour of Italy

I went on a whirlwind tour of Europe with my mom a few years ago, but now I want to go back and actually explore certain areas; Italy being one of them.



But I'd also like to see 
Vineyards 

Tuscany


10. A Tour of the Northeast United States
I'd start in DC and revisit the Capital

head through Pennsylvania for a stop in my favorite city of Philly
check out Boston

New Hampshire

A Vermont B&B

And the coast of Maine


If you could go anywhere in the world (forgetting about money) where would you go??

You can be MY travel agent! Husband and I were just talking about doing a European cruise for our 5 year anniversary (if not sooner). Most of these places are on my to-visit list too! France is way up high on the list! I so very much want to see versailles!
