The year 2004 has some pretty big britches to fill, if it's going to live up to 2003!
From the Midwest: January - rang in the New Year in Naples, Florida March/April - spring break in the beautiful Florida panhandle town of Seaagrove Beach July - a long beach weekend in Tampa, Florida September - two glorious weeks in Italy, including Rome, the Amalfi Coast, and Umbria December - closed out 2003 in Bangor, Maine Travellyn, this is a great question! I hadn't realized we did so much in 2003. I was so focused on our first trip to Italy that I barely paid attention to all our other trips, and waddya know, but we made tracks in 2003! Here's hoping that everyone has a great year of travel ahead of them! |
I'd like to add an addendum to this question--do you folks hold full time jobs? ;) I work in the public school system, so it's a little hard to get away everytime we'd like to, although I will add this was our sparsest year yet for travel. Our travels included:
June/July - Providence, RI, Cape Cod, MA, coastal RI, NYC July - Montreal/Quebec, CA Dec - Manasota Key, Venice, Siesta Key, FL Does it count if I ran, biked and walked over 2,000 miles???? |
Here's my list
January - Quebec City May - Florence and Venice, Italy September - Drove the California coast from LA to San Francisco stopping at Santa Barbara, San Simeon and Carmel. I would recommend this vacation to everyone. It was perfect. Hope my 2004 trips will be as good. |
Four trips D.C. to Long Beach in the spring. Hong Kong at the beginning of December. Brussles at the end of December. I actually planned many, many more trips than I took. |
April - two weeks on Oahu and Big Island
May - Memorial day weekend in Vancouver June - week in upstate NY for graduation and family visit August - weekend in Sonoma Nov/Dec - two and a half weeks in Austria, Germany, and London We would have gone to Yosemite in February but both came down with the flu that week. Overall we took fewer but longer trips. |
February:
weekend in Des Moines March: weekend in Dayton, OH (friend turned 40) weekend in Louisville with brother & his family April: weekend in Houston 3 day weekend in St Louis May: two weeks in France with my Dad June: weekend in Houston weekend at Mammoth Cave week in Grapevine, TX (class for work) July: weekend in Dayton, OH August: weekend in Houston September: 3 day Labor Day weekend in NYC weekend in Houston 3 day weekend commitment ceremony in San Diego (not mine. :-) ) October: weekend in Omaha 4 day weekend in Las Vegas for a wedding (again, not mine. :-D ) November: Halloween in Ann Arbor, MI 10 days in France December: weekend in Columbus, OH with brother & his family All the trips to Houston remind me what a terrible year it was for my friends there. On March 5th Tami's face sagged a bit. On March 6th she was diagnosed with a very aggressive brain tumor. I saw her 3 more times and she died in September. She was survived by her husband, a daughter 12 and a son 9. She would have been 40 in November. :'( It really made me reconsider what's truly important. Make sure you get out there and see your friends and your family. You never know when you won't be able to again. Sorry to be a bummer. :-[ |
Indytravel.. that is just horrible.. I am sorry to hear about your friend.. that is a very serious reminder that life is precious.. and can turn on a dime... we all should get out there and see the places we want to see.. do the things we want to do and be with people we care about..life can be so short..
I am sorry for your loss. |
