Planning....

I'm in the midst of a planning spree! Where to go?? Adventures to seek?? Food & beverages to sample?? Trip Advisor, Yelp, The Travel Channel, Triple D, and the like are my best friends these days.
We have just about finished our planning for next month's drive up the California coast towards San Simeon with Wyatt. Can't wait!

This year is all booked out (of course) and 2015 is really beginning to take some shape. There will be a short jaunt to the Caribbean via Celebrity Cruises next March, my nephew's wedding in May, a 12-day cruise to the Mediterranean via Princess Cruises in July, and lots of room for little side trips and adventures between all that. We've gotta use up our vacation days or we lose them. And one thing I won't lose are our vacations days!!

That said, we're talking about a few driving trips... maybe around this gorgeous state of Arizona or into New Mexico? Maybe over to the coast of California and some relaxing beach time? A quick trip to Memphis or New Orleans? And where shall we head for our annual wine-tasting weekend with Zach? We've done Napa, Sonoma, and Portland so far. Oh, the burden of planning!

Into 2016, we're talking about the British Isles... a cruise to Iceland... a trip to Japan... or maybe a fall foliage cruise into New England. Can I convince Mr. Smith that more than one of these ideas are good?? We shall see, and I shall keep you all posted.

Wherever you're headed.... relax and enjoy!
