Happy Thursday folks! Just hitting the treadmill before getting ready for work so I thought i would pop on. Did anyone making traveling “new years resolutions”? I should resolve NOT to take so many trips but most are short and not terribly expensive and I am itching to see even more this year! I thought it would be fun to document my travel goals and destinations for the year, although I don’t have my whole year figured out yet of course. Here is what I have lined up so far: 1. February 23rd 2019 - 6 days in Rivieria Maya at a resort. Beach vacationing. All paid for except any “extras” we choose to buy and tip money. Won’t be my “explorer” type of trip I love doing but all the same me and the friend will have a blast and get away from long Minnesota winters. 2. April 20th 2019 - Clearwater Beach, Florida. Me and my sister surprised my mom with tickets. Beach front condo booked. Only for 3 or 4 days. Still need to work on our agenda. 3. June ?? 2019 - New Orleans, Louisiana. Also perhaps Alabama or Mississippi since I have never been and we are close. A friend I have never traveled with mentioned that she had never been down that way and me neither (for some reason I gravitate toward the western states!) 4. Utah National Parks —. ?? This has been on my mind since my brief visit in 2017. I would like to again visit Arches (a lot of the trails we closed when I was there), visit Zion, Bryce Canyon and Canyonland national park. Maybe check out the big salt lake perhaps if time allows. Thinking maybe the fall but it’s all up in the air. (It’s super hot in the summer time!) also possibly New Mexico. Probably not in same time. 5. Friend in Denver expects a visit this year. I shouldn’t even add it to the list because I have been there so many times and the downtown area does not excite me. I guess no international travel planned this year besides the quick trip to Cancun, Mexico area. That’s OK by me though for now. Although wen thinking about all the places I would like to go...I have so many ideas! What about you? Have you any travel goals or plans lined up for 2019, or plans still in the though process? Or, have you been to any of these places listed and any advice?

Yes! That is my goal! I do agree it’s a great experience. I hope to do some more international travel in the coming years. Most of the trips I take wind up being quick 4 day hiking trips. But i do enjoy them. Hope your 2019 is off to a great stat!

That sounds awesome! New Zealand is where you live? I would love to go there some day. It’s so far away from me though.

You`re gonna love New Orleans! I love this place and I intend to go back one day. Just make sure to keep your purse close, pick pockets are always out. And wear walking shoes, no sandals, sometimes drinks pee in the streets/ sidewalks they get so drunk. No travel plans this year. But I have been known to take a road trip. I traveled a lot back in 2004 to 2006.

I live my life on the road! My hubby and I live in a conversion van and we just travel and camp in different places. We spend winters in the southwest and summers up north always chasing the perfect temps and landscapes. By the way, I am from Mississippi and I can tell you it is a beautiful state but hit as hades in the summer. Lol!
