Rio Carnival and Casablanca in February
Los Angeles in April

We leave for Florence and Rome on February 24. After that, who knows? Our only child/daughter is getting married in October, and she is the very definition of Bridezilla!

An elaborate and expensive wedding is in the planning, and the bills keep rolling in. My guess for extra travel will be trips to New York and to the Jersey shore, both places where we stay for free with family.

It's a darn good thing that 2004 was a bounty travel year for us, because this coming year looks to be a poor travel one.

Ah, but my darling husband turns 50 in August, and I'd love to surprise him with a little trip. Any ideas? August and cheap and easy to get to from Western Pennsylvania!

My annual trips to Puerto Rico (May), out west USA (March), and Florida (Mother's Day Weekend) are on (reservations ready!). A summer anniversary trip combination Russia-Scandinavia and a November return trip to Portugal. That should keep me busy for a while. All of them with hubby who in addition to that has two business trips to France and asking that I go with him at a minimum to one of them. So little time!!

March - a weekend in Cardiff and 5 days in Andalucia
August - three week trip to Mozambique, Botswana and Zambia (our honeymoon).

that's all we have planned so far, but there will probably be more!
