Little bits about me - Vacation



July was here and gone and it truly was a difficult month.  Internet issues were right at the start and have continued with little resolve.  We are moving at a slower than molasses rate and while posts have been making the draft part of the blog, they haven't been posted as I practice patience for finding ways to fix the problem.  Add to that a miserable head cold that lasted 3 weeks with several weeks of a heat wave, and I wasn't the most joyful model.

Let's play catch-up today!


 1.  Will you go on a summer vacation this year?  We might, but we haven't made any plans.

 2.  Do nothing but relax or a pack it all in vacation?  We do both - some days are packed full and others we enjoy the slow relaxing moments by a camp fire.

 3.  What month do you like to vacation?  I think I love the months of May or October.  Usually the weather is pleasant and places are not too crowded.

 4.  Cruise YES or NO?  Probably not.  It's usually cost prohibitive and I do not do well on the water.  I've been seasick a handful of times and it was a miserable experience no matter what kind of boat I've been on.

 5.  Favorite vacation tradition?  I wish we had one that was truly a "tradition" but it's probably roasting marshmallows and eating s'mores.

 6.  Most memorable vacation?  I've had a few, but the most recent was a full 3 weeks road trip through a few states and seeing some amazing forests, giant redwood trees, beautiful waterfalls, and just seeing so many new things - castle, geysers, petrified forest, and fascinating tide pools.  And, te weather was absolutely perfect nearly every single day.

 7.  Pack light or pack it all?  I probably over-pack with the thought process of better safe than sorry, but I think next time, I will try to pack a little lighter because the extras caused extra work, too.

 8.  Hotel, Condo, or House?  Hmm....none of those really are my first choice.  I'd pick and RV.  Love traveling and being able to relax in our own space.

 9.  Favorite things to eat on vacation? Messy BBQ ribs and corn on the cob and let's add evenings with hot cocoa and playing a game.

10. Warm or Cold destinations?  I like comfortable - warm (not hot) days, with cool evenings.
