Random Thoughts: Travel

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

In the season of travel, everyone has their plans of where they want to go and what they want to do on their vacation, but not many people think about what they should do before leaving on their vacation. For instance, how many people invest in travel insurance before heading out on vacation? I know that I never have. I never knew it existed, really. It’s a great concept, hopefully more people will take advantage of it in the future.

Missing Pieces: Las Vegas Travel

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

So I’ve been giving a lot of thought to travel and even moving, but one place that keeps coming back to the forefront is Las Vegas. I lived there for nearly a year with Rob before we moved back east and I loved it. I’ve thought several times about picking up some Las Vegas travel guides online and planning a trip back. I know he’d love to see his brother and I’d love to see our niece again. We didn’t get to see the family before they moved back to Las Vegas.

I wish it were in the cards, but it’s not. Oh well.

Travel Thoughts: In The Future

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Sometime, long time down the road, I’d like to rent or buy one of those travel trailers and drive around to see my online friends. I think it would be absolutely amazing to just take off for a month and go see the people I’ve come to know and love online.

Pick up people here and there that we know and bring them with us, make a real adventure out of it. Doesn’t that sound like something fun to do before you die? I really do.

Vacation In Branson: Golfing

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Are you taking a vacation to Branson? Take me with you! Kidding, but seriously, if you visit Branson, there are a lot of things that you can do, outside of the normal tourist-y things that there are to do. If you like to play golf, you can visit StoneBridge Village. This Branson private golf course has, not only a championship layout, but it’s absolutely beautiful to look at. What could be better than playing 18 holes surrounded by the beauty of the Ozark mountains.

The Honeymoon I Never Had

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Someone asked me one day what my ideal honeymoon would have been, had Rob and I taken one. I was really hard pressed to answer the question because I had never really given it much thought. I finally decided that, had I gone on a honeymoon, I would have chosen to take a cruise.

This got me to thinking and researching different cruises as a possible getaway sometime soon. We’ve been married going on 5 years now, we’ve not ever gotten away. In fact, he and I haven’t had any real chance to get away. When we moved back here, life became work. We go out, we do things together, but we’ve never taken a weekend to get away from everything.

Random Thoughts: Vacations

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

If I had a penny for how many times I’ve thought about running away on vacation, I’d be a rich woman. But, I’m not rich, so I guess I’m out of luck, huh? I do want a vacation and I think it’s time to start seriously considering taking one. I kind of want to go visit Las Vegas again. Go see Chad and Heather and Anna. Maybe we can find a cheap flights and go visit over the summer or in the fall.

It would be nice to get away for a few days and he does have vacation time coming. Maybe we can do it… It would be nice, for sure.

Travel Thoughts: Branson

Monday, February 18th, 2008

One of the places that I breezed through when I was traveling from New York to Las Vegas was Branson, Missouri. We were on the outskirts of the city, but I’ve always wanted to go back and properly explore.

One of the reasons that I wanted to go there was because Branson is the new home to Country Music. Nashville will always be the major hub, but Branson is where a lot of the stars have chosen to make their new home. For instance, the Roy Rogers/Dale Evans Museum is in Branson.

There’s also Silver Dollar City, where you can step back in time to see how people lived in the Ozark Mountains in the 1800’s. Learn what it was like to live a much simpler life and learn about history as well. But if that isn’t what you’re interested, there are plenty of museums, parks and shopping.

The main draw for me, though, is the music. Being able to see people like Buck Trent or Bill Medley or even Bobby Vinton is more appealing to me. For me, a lover of older country music, Branson is like paradise and I would love to spend a week there taking in the different shows.
