Oh, the places I'll go
I like traveling to new places. Discovering other cities, other cultures, historical sites: totally my thing.
Usually, the Lima/Condit travel troupe (aka, me, sis & BIL) plan a getaway week somewhere fun. It's our combined birthday/Xmas gift to ourselves/each other.
This year, we're eschewing the long trip in order to save up for Tripapalooza, aka, Whisky & Wales in 2016. Why so far out you ask? Because after December 2015, I qualify for my company's AWESOME 15-year longevity award: a dream week trip, with extra time off and up to $10,000 in bonus $$. PLUS, 2016 is when the sister girl turns 50.
We're planning a two-week extravaganza, visiting whisky distilleries in Scotland, Hay-on-Wye, and who knows what else. We've got 4 years of planning ahead of us!
Truth be told, part of the fun of these trips is the planning. The librarian sis is AWESOME at the details. I'm more about the big picture. Between us, we make a heck of a team.
We plan to let a cottage somewhere sort of central (probably a National Trust property) or through vrbo.com. Probably let a car/van. BIL really wants the freedom of driving around. I want to take trains.
No matter what we eventually decide for our itinerary, I know it's going to be fabulous!
Tell me about a great trip you've been on/are planning! Where's somewhere you've always wanted to go?
