Got any trips (big or small) planned for 2015? We're spending a weekend on the river in the Texas Hill Country at the end of this month for our anniversary. Disneyland in June. Hoping to do a 3-4 day trip somewhere with just DH and me this summer.

What's your favorite type of vacation (beach, snow, cruise, Europe, etc)? We are beach people all the way!

Where did you honeymoon? Costa Rica

What would your dream trip be? Not sure exactly where but I would love to go somewhere tropical for about 10 days and stay in one of the little casitas that are built over the water.

Do you prefer to drive, fly, ride a train, or sail to your destination? If it's over 4-5 hours away, we're probably going to be on a plane. Although, I feel like I owe it to DD to take a good old fashioned road trip to like the Grand Canyon when she's older.

Any random travel fun facts about you? Not really.

this is a fun post!

Got any trips (big or small) planned for 2015? We are thinking of Las Vegas or San Diego in the coming months. We usually do a cruise every December but I'm not sure if we'll fit that in. We've also talked about going back to hawaii but waiting to see how this TTC stuff works out before planning any big vacations

What's your favorite type of vacation (beach, snow, cruise, Europe, etc)?
We've liked cruises, but really anything that gets us out and about and active. I can handle maybe one day of sitting on the beach / by the pool and then I'm itching to go on a hike or a tour or diving or SOMETHING

Where did you honeymoon? hawaii - amazing and can't wait to go back. We did Kauai and Maui. I loved Kauai but would probably rather go back to Maui as there was more stuff to do for us.

What would your dream trip be? I absolutely loved my trip to Australia/New Zealand and would love to do another one with DH. Maybe with a stop over in Fiji or Singapore? Assuming we win the lottery of course! We've watched a documentary about a round-the-world trip you can take if you are super rich where they fly you in private jets / cruise ships / etc around to the various spots and have private tours set up at all the tourist and not-so-touristy spots.

Do you prefer to drive, fly, ride a train, or sail to your destination? Hmmm, we've done all of those things. My least favorite is driving but everything else is fine and varies depending on distance you need to travel

Any random travel fun facts about you? can't think of anything...

You are my DH!  I could sit on the beach with a book and a beverage all day long.  DH is the "let's go do something" person. Luckily, he surfs so when we do beach vacations, he usually surfs while I sit on the beach. 

[vh2014]

Ok. I'll play.

Got any trips (big or small) planned for 2015? Back to Maine and Vegas

What's your favorite type of vacation (beach, snow, cruise, Europe, etc)? It depends. I'm like winogirl I want to do something. Not much of a lounger. I haven't been to the Carribean in a while and would love to go back, but some place different.

Where did you honeymoon? Southern Maine

What would your dream trip be? Right now.. I'd love to go to Greece but we've got a lot going on so that's a long way off. Belize is on my list too... and Hawaii... I want to experience places I haven't been.

Do you prefer to drive, fly, ride a train, or sail to your destination? Yes. LOL. It depends on where I am going. I like road trips, but flying is most practical for me to be somewhere. Train is probably my least favorite and I'd really like to do a working sailing trip sometime.

Any random travel fun facts about you? I can pack a week's worth of clothes in a carry on if I have to.

Singapore is amazing!! My parents lived there for almost 10yrs so I was able to visit a handful of times.

Got any trips (big or small) planned for 2015?  
We have our annual trip to Sanibel (FL) in August and want to plan either another cruise or something to celebrate our anny late (too hard right now - anny is 3/17 - b/c of pup and work schedules)

What's your favorite type of vacation (beach, snow, cruise, Europe, etc)?  
I’m a fan of beach ALL.THE.WAY. I’d like to do Europe with MH since I’ve really only ever been to Sweden and that’s always for family.

Where did you honeymoon?  
We went to the Dominican Republic and stayed for 10 days, which was so nice. We also made some friends that we keep in touch with on Facebook.

What would your dream trip be?
Australia, Seychelles, back to Thailand …

Do you prefer to drive, fly, ride a train, or sail to your destination?
Fly.

Any random travel fun facts about you?
Only if you count how I first fell in love with down pillows: I was around 2 and we were on a flight (either to or from Sweden, not sure) back in the day (’79 or ’80) when the small travel pillows were down and had nice pillowcases. I had a “hard flight” per my mom and was finally sleeping, hugging the pillow. My mom didn’t dare take it out of my arms as they exited the plane, but the stewardess tried to. I think my mom’s face said it all b/c they let us leave with it. Ever since then, I love a little travel pillow and bring my own so I have my own pillowcases =)

[wannabmama]

Love reading these! Great questions!

We are going to Belize on Thursday!! A friend is getting married there so we used the excuse to go MH has never been out of the country so it should be interesting. Belize has always been on my list so I'm thrilled! That's one way to pass a few of the days in the TWW if you ask me, ha!

We are also going to Vegas for a friend's 40th and then hoping to do somewhere out west skiing next winter.

Beach. All the way. I like "doing stuff" but much prefer warm and sunny to anything else and not a big city person.

Honeymooned in St. John, it was incredible and we can't wait to go back.

Hmmmm, dream trip is so hard! I think, like momtex, I'd really like to stay over the water somewhere. It was my honeymoon wish but didn't work out...maybe 10 yr anniversary or something Id also love to do Greece!

I love a good road trip. Of course flying is usually more practical. I've never done a boat for actual travel to a destination, but I think it would be awesome someday.

Fun fact: I traveled mostly by myself for almost three months through South America.

vh2014 I have done a week in a carry on too, it's so liberating! I didn't even pack makeup or accessories. I wonder how little I can pack for Belize, maybe I'll issue myself a challenge!!

Got any trips (big or small) planned for 2015? We will go to visit my parents in Nashville, TN but that's it for longer trips (8 hour car ride for us)

What's your favorite type of vacation (beach, snow, cruise, Europe, etc)? I love the beach! I also love history, but have not been to Europe yet...it's on my list

Where did you honeymoon? Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

What would your dream trip be? We do not have time for that list. I love the beach, DH and I both have history degrees, and we both love to travel, so the possibilities are endless. We love seeing/doing new things.

Do you prefer to drive, fly, ride a train, or sail to your destination? I love to fly! I have been on 1 cruise, which was fun, and I've only take a short train ride to Chicago, but I liked that too. If I had to pick one, I'd fly all over the place!

Any random travel fun facts about you? My favorite place so far is Mexico. I've been there 3 times, both DH and I speak Spanish (mine very limited, his is pretty good conversationally anyways), and I would LOVE to go back!

I love Mexico too! Two hour flight and all inclusive hotel.  Yes please!

[vh2014]

wannabmama,totally have trip envy. I've wanted to go there since my sister described it about 12 or 13 years ago.

[b0710]

momtex - that's totally me too!

[teenybenoit]

Got any big trips planned: on vacay in Florida as we speak, enjoying sunshine and relaxation!!
What's your favourite type of vacation: love the beach but also love road trips or quick weekend getaways to new cities.
Where did you honeymoon: St Lucia, by far the best trip ever, ultra luxury and nothing has beat that trip yet.
What would your dream trip be: I would love to fly to Vancouver, rent a truck and drive to Alaska, spend a few days and drive back. My hubby and I love road trips!!
Do you prefer to drive, fly, ride a train or sail to your destination, love to fly, love to drive, never done the train trip and I get sea sick on boats. Lol
Any random travel fun facts about you: I'm an awesome navigator from the passenger seat and I slept 15 hours out of the 29 we were on the road getting here....I sleep best in the truck.

[wirt2cute]

Got any trips (big or small) planned for 2015? We are doing a couples trip to Panama City Florida in June. H and 2 of his partners and their wives are going. We try to do something at least once a year. Last year was Nola, which was amazing. We are also taking the boys to Nashville shores since it is only a 3 hour drive away.

What's your favorite type of vacation (beach, snow, cruise, Europe, etc)? I love the beach with the pretty water and sand.

Where did you honeymoon? H and I did 3 nights in Nola, and 2 nights in Gulf Shores Alabama. We had a blast getting drunk during the day and danced all night. Not to mention the awesome food.

What would your dream trip be? I would love to travel to Aruba. 

Do you prefer to drive, fly, ride a train, or sail to your destination? I like to drive places unless it is necessary to fly. I don't do boats but I would ride a train.

Any random travel fun facts about you? I lived in Japan for 3 years with my ex-husband when he got stationed over there. It was a great traveling experience, but a horrible marital experience. Hence why he is now my ex-husband.


teenybenoit, Where in Florida are you? We are traveling to Florida in June.

wannabmama,my oldest son and my mom along with my other family members are doing a cruise to Belize this summer. I'm not going but I am paying for his cousin to go so that they can have some fun.

winogirl, I would love to do a girls weekend in Vegas with my friends.

[teenybenoit]

wirt2cute we are in Lake Mary, which is about 20 min from the theme parks it's beautiful!! Weather has been amazing!!

[winogirl]

teenybenoit, i've only been to St Lucia via a cruise but it was amazing and we actually looked into doing our wedding there but decided to stay state-side for the travelling families. So awesome that you got to do your honeymoon there!!!

[happyktmom]

Got any trips (big or small) planned for 2015? Lot's of TN trips, Clearwater, FL, Dewey Beach, DE, New York City, Dominican Republic, Philadelphia and Baltimore

Do you prefer to drive, fly, ride a train, or sail to your destination? I love TRAINS! But we usually end up driving most of the time. Flying is fine - it's all the waiting and lines and TSA,etc. that goes with it that sucks! Cruises and boats in general are fun for short periods - we did a 7 day cruise and that was a bit much. I was ready to jump off the boat!

Any random travel fun facts about you? I've been flying since I was 6 weeks old and have been to every state - my father worked for an airline. I literally grew up in a hangar - pretty cool.


What's your favorite type of vacation (beach, snow, cruise, Europe, etc)? BEACH all the way

Where did you honeymoon? We got married and honeymooned in Belize. A beautiful country!

What would your dream trip be? We want to do Bora Bora for our 10th in 3 years. Definitely a dream!

[wannabmama]

happyktmom so cool you got married in Belize!! I'm so excited to go, let me know if you have any tips

[happyktmom]

wannabmama - I just went back and read you are going! I'm sure you are going to San Pedro/ Ambergris Caye. It's the most popular and biggest island. We got married and go back to Caye Caulker. If you take the water taxi (don't be afraid) it will be one of y our stops. It's a beautiful tiny island and you will meet a lot of people you will never forget. There are dogs running around Belize like crazy. They are trying desperately to take care of the stray population. I will say that I do not like Belize City at all. Get put of there as fast as you can. The mainland has a lot of cool tours like to Altun Ha or other ruins. You have to take boats through rivers and vans to get there and will probably see monkeys! Definitely visit the Blue Hole if you scuba or snorkel. It's like nothing else! I wish I could be your personal guide! Please tell me how it goes!

[lickwed]

I am a little late as we just got back from a mini vacation up in the mountains with not much cell reception, but I am loving all these adventures you guys have had.

Got any trips (big or small) planned for 2015? We are thinking about a trip to San Diego this summer to Legoland and Sea World.

What's your favorite type of vacation (beach, snow, cruise, Europe, etc)? I love to travel period so I am game for anything.

Where did you honeymoon? We did a 2 week tour of Italy with a tour group. It was so much fun. Travel and lodging were prearranged and majority of the meals had complimentary wine. We also got a mini tour of all the major cities/sites in Italy with prearranged tour guides so we didn't have to wait in some of the looong lines like the Vatican and and the Coliseum.

What would your dream trip be? Australia or Ireland.

Do you prefer to drive, fly, ride a train, or sail to your destination? Now that we have a kid, flying would be way more easier. Unless we win the lottery though, it will be driving for us and we will make it work. I do have to give props to DD though. We are potty training, had to drive a total of 4 hours both ways, and she used big toilets and did not go in her pants once. It's been hit or miss all week so this is a bonus for me.

Any random travel fun facts about you? When I was little, my parents were stationed in Germany. I have been all over Europe and don't remember most of it. My parents didn't change their love of travel for me, they just included me in it. I notice we are doing that same thing with our family.

[wannabmama]

happyktmom thanks for the info! We are staying at ambergris caye, they have a group snorkeling trip to the blue hole and then one day zip lining and tubing through caves planned for folks, but we hope to do a little more exploring on our own, too! I can't wait to get out of this weather and into the tropics! I'll report back when we get back

[luvmyponies]

I'm a little late to the game... but this is such a fun thread.

Got any trips (big or small) planned for 2015? A good friend of ours throws a huge party every two years at his house in PA, we're hoping to extend that trip a bit. And our 15th anniversary is in Oct and we may go to a B&B in VT that we love.

What's your favorite type of vacation (beach, snow, cruise, Europe, etc)? We get such limited vacation time we're not too adventurous and tend to go the same resort in Orlando - we know we'll have a chance to relax by the pool until we're bored and then we'll hit a theme park or two. But I also love an autumn trip to VT.

Where did you honeymoon? Disney World

What would your dream trip be? I think I mentioned this in another thread... Giraffe Manor in Kenya. Always wanted to go to Ireland and horseback ride across the countryside. DH doesn't ride so we said he could hang out in an Irish pub somewhere

Do you prefer to drive, fly, ride a train, or sail to your destination? We usually fly, but enjoy a good road trip every so often too.

Any random travel fun facts about you? I wish I could travel more but it's so hard to arrange horse/animal care for an extended period of time, especially in the winter (which is when I need a vacation the most) I think after this winter though, we NEED to get away at least for a little while!!

[cook6289]

I'm on my way to ny next wend to be with my boyfriend to get this baby making started lol never been their before I think it will be fun being with my man and seeing a new place

[lickwed]

cook6289 Having a Big Apple souvenir arrive 9 months later would be so cool!

[cook6289]

Yes it would :-)
