You can't keep me grounded now!

Plans for 2009

We are heading to Puerto Rico on February 6th and then departing on a deep southern caribbean cruise on the 8th. Our cruise stops will be at St. Marten, St. Thomas, Aruba, and Curacao. I have never been to any of these places before, nor have I ever cruised before so I am pretty excited about this. We are going with a group of family and friends - it will be nice to take trip with my family.

Other plans: Would like to go to Ecuador in the spring/summer but that remains to be seen. My friends are living there but that could change due to money, etc. so I am trying to get there before they leave. My desire is for us to go as a family-I think we could all benefit from visiting a 3rd world country.

I want to go back to Italy! My friends are talking about Sicily in October, but unfortunately I do not have an endless supply of money. On top of that, the economy is so unstable, it is scary to do too much right now.

Busy Year

2008 was a very busy year!
February: We went to Florida to take our daughter to Disney/Universal Studios. We stayed with friends at a timeshare and had a fabulous time.
May: My mom and I visited Charleston, SC for a long weekend. We really enjoyed the "low country"-is a beautiful city.
June: We went to Michigan to visit family.
September: Asheville, NC for the Brew Grass Festival. We camped on the French Broad River-very beautiful and peaceful.
October: Trip to Normandy, Paris, and Barcelona with my brother.

The year is not over yet! Our final trip of the year:
Heading to New York for family visit at the end of this month. Would like to try to visit Manhattan for a day to do some shopping.

Survived France and Spain

My brother and I survived our trip to France and Spain. We had a blast but definitely wore ourselves out. We walked for miles in Paris and Barcelona and really pushed ourselves to see everything we could. See my travel pages for our exciting adventure!

New Adventures

I am super excited because I am getting ready for a new travel adventure this October. My girlfriend is getting married in Normandy, so my brother and I are headed to France! To make it more adventuresome, we are taking a train to Barcelona, Spain for the last few days of our trip. I am excited because I have never been to Spain and I get to take my 19-year-old brother to Europe for his very first time! I am really stepping out of my comfort zone b/c not only am I traveling without my husband, I am renting a car in Paris to drive to Normandy-yikes!

I love to travel!

I was able to do some traveling to Europe after high school but since then have been dormant for the last 13 years to finish college and raise a family, with the exception to small trips to Asheville, NC. Finally though, I was able to convince my husband (who would work the rest of his life without a vacation if I didn't force him to go away) to go to Italy this past October. All I can say is that Italy is amazing and after that trip there is no way that I can stay grounded now! I am working on my travel pages (and searching for my old journal from my travels around Europe 13 years ago) so stay tuned for more!

 We need to work on "that boy" to help "finance" your travel bug.

 Drive through Andorra if you can. It's a very pretty place and well worth the time.
