wanderlust

I want to get away SO SO badly. I was hoping to finally do our washington coast road trip this summer but if the canadian dollar continues to sink I don't know if I can stomach paying so much more just to go to the states so now I'm thinking maybe we can do vancouver island or just the sunshine coast or something. For me travel is something that brings me my best memories and this summer will be 2 years since we went to oregon and I'm really really itching to go back to the ocean.

Anyone else feeling the need to get away?
 
I totally want [need] to get away! I'd love it if you made you way though WA! ... I'd totally try to persuade you to make a pit stop in Seattle ;)
 
I'd love to go away from the cold, but it won't be this year. We don't have any big trips on the horizon - but I am planning a weekend getaway in Montreal this spring. It's such a beautiful city and I've never taken the kids there yet so I'm excited!
 
I'm always antsy to travel and right now I'd love to go anywhere that doesn't have 9 feet of snow on the ground and is above 40 degrees :D

But, unfortunately, we never take winter trips because of school and basketball so I'm stuck in the tundra.

This coming summer will be 2 years since we did our month-long trip across the country so I'm itching to go somewhere this summer but I doubt we'll go far. Cheyanne has basketball until the end of July and then school team soccer starts up the 3rd week of August so that gives us a 2-week window for vacations. I think instead we'll do several weekenders to places here in New England - so many nice places to see right around here :thumbup:
 
I really really really really have wanderlust so bad. I'm trying to talk my husband into a road trip to Colorado Springs this summer. He hasn't said no yet so we'll see.
 
I get the itch to move. I think that's from my Air Force days! The 10 years I was in the longest we lived somewhere was 3 years 2 months. We've been in Michigan almost 6 years. Around 3 I really wanted to move! Lol!

I'd love to do more vacations, hopefully as Harper gets older we can.

I totally have cabin fever. I haven't been on a plane in 7 years. Because of Timothy's medical situation, we haven't been able to go anywhere as a family for 3 years. I've taken the other kids camping and such, but nothing more than that.We used to travel a TON so I'm really feeling cooped up!
 
I've got cabin fever all week long, every week, and then the weekend comes and I go, "nope, I'd rather stay in" LOL

It is winter here in Michigan!!

Come spring/summer I'll probably be ready to do some weekend activities though.
 
I love traveling, but right now I am kind of dragging my feet about the trip we have coming up next month. We are going to PA over spring break, but it will be a long drive with cranky kids and I don't know what the weather will be like. I guess we'll see how it goes.
 
Until I realized you were Canadian, I was going to say Vancouver Island, as you would get a great deal! :blink:

I grew up in Washington State and Vancouver Island was always a special place. :thumbup: I would seriously consider going there!
 
We have a 10 day trip coming up for Spring Break which is in 4 weeks. I'm totally looking forward to that, but I'm not quiet ready to leave yet. We took a 7-day ski trip to Canada in January which was fabulous.
 
Me me me!! And luckily we have a ski trip coming up this weekend and then in two weeks we are going on a cruise out of New Orleans. It's been almost a year since we've been on a real vacation and I'm so excited!

We went to Sun Peaks outside of Kamloops. It's our favorite village. Wonderful European feel with the sweetest people and minimal crowds. When we lived in Washington State we went there yearly. It's been about 5 years since we were there, because we moved to California. Took a little more work to get there, but it was totally worth it! :thumbup:
 
I rarely feel the need to go away... I feel perfectly content to stay here and go exploring to find new things. So many great sights to see, and all free (I think it helps living on the shore, cause I can get that beach experience any time I want in the summer. That's not to say I don't have places I'd like to go though.... and it would be nice to go home to MA more often.

Plan an East Coast trip Kristin! Lots of great things to see, and I can tell ya all the best places to go (if ya like exploring and taking in the simple things in life - beaches, lakes, lighthouses, art, nature parks, hiking trails, history, town festivals galore, oh and LOADS of geocaching!! ;)) :D
 
I'm ALWAYS itching to get away! Actually deciding on where to go is the tough part! We have family in Alaska, DC, and Seattle that are always wanting us to visit there. We love it, but I think a REAL vacation...maybe a tropical vacation is something to look into. Either that or Europe! :)
 
Yes...I love traveling! I grew up with a big family vacation every summer, but DH and I haven't been able to swing that up until now. We're planning a trip to Durango & Mesa Verde this summer and just started looking into planning a WDW trip for next summer.
Alaska and Washington/Oregon/BC are on the wish list...hopefully 3 or 4 years down the line.

I'd absolutely love to go to PEI and Maine too, but hubby isn't as inclined as I am on that one.
 
Normally yes, but since we'll likely be moving in a few months, I'm kind of enjoying where we are for now. Although we are going to New Orleans next month so that's something.
 
It's been forever since we went anywhere. Last trip was France in 2013 and only for a week, when we normally do 2-3 weeks every year. This year though I'm wanting to go so badly. I just need to convince my husband we should spend the cash do go.
 
Always. It makes me sad that we get to do it so rarely. I really enjoy a change of scenery and exploring, I can have a good time just about anywhere.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to visit the east coast :( I just wish it wasn't so expensive to get there :(
 
I'm on countdown for Hawaii.....3 months...27 days...22 hours and 1 minute (yes, I have an app for that...lol)

I was just thinking about your Hawaii trip the other day Carrie! Have you ironed out all your plans? I can't wait to see your pics and reminisce!

PEI is on my bucket list...only because it is the closest thing on my list that I can drive to in one day and not have to make sure everyone has a passport for LOL.
 
Yesssss! I want to go somewhere, ANYWHERE! At this point, I don't care, as long as it's warm and sunny! I haven't had a real vacation (as in traveling out of state) since I got divorced since money has been so tight. It's really tempting to just put everything on a credit card, but I know that would be foolish in the long run. I am SO desperate for a real adventure though. It's been way too long. :(

We are getting there...the guys have a deep sea fishing day planned for the morning after we arrive. They'll be out from 6am to 10am in the hopes of catching some fish to eat and to make a Costco run (food is important...and alcohol...lol). Then we are all going to do a ziplining tour which should be fun with 19 of us going. We are all staying at a hotel by the airport the night before we leave since we have to be there at 4am. We're going to have pizza together for dinner and just hang out and get to the airport together. Our "father" of the group wants all his little chickens in one spot (as he says it...lol). Matt and I decided that we are going to rent a convertible instead of a Jeep. I drive a Jeep Rubicon every day of my life so that just doesn't excite me. I want something fun and different. Sooooo....it's coming along. I'm sure we'll have a meeting at some point to square away a few things before we go but we are all just so very excited!!
 
Actually...speaking of apps...

Have any of you found a travel app that you love? I've looked at a few, but they all seem to be limiting. I would love something that would be able to store all the places I want to visit (with web links, entry times, prices etc...), but then have them visible on a map (with my hotel) so I can look at them all and once.

I've seen some that have 'places of interest' to store, but then not a really good map. Or vice versa. A map without the ability to make itineraries.... :cursing:
