I'm leaving!

My friend and I are going on vacation next week! It has been a year in the making, and I spent that entire time saving to go. We're staying in a condo with two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. My family usually does that when we go to Branson as the cost is the same as a hotel, but have full size kitchens, a washer/dryer, and even a balcony. I don't know if you have ever been to Branson, Missouri, but I love it. My friend has never been, and she made a list of what she hoped we could do. Some of the things we'll be doing (besides shopping) are going to the Laura Ingalls Wilder homestead and musuem, Ripley's Believe it or Not (I have been, but it was a while ago), the conservation area, and we'll also catch at least one show (right now we plan on seeing an illusionist). She wants to make sure to visit some of the Amish stores (the quality they put into their work is amazing), and I want to go to old downtown Branson. Those stores are the most unique.

@amitkokiladitya To me, fear is canceling my vacation. Prevention is washing my hands, and doing stuff like that.

I'm driving in a car, with two other people. We're just going to a neighboring state, and we only have a few people in our state who have it. We'll be fine.

@averygirl72 I will, thank you. I have hand sanitizer, gloves, and plenty of soap, so the germs have been warned.

I'll be in a car, not in a plane or anything. We only have two cases in our state, and I always wash my hands. I'm not worried, but of course I'll be cautious.

That sounds great. I have not been to Branson, but I want to go. First I want to go to Nashville though..and might get there fairly soon. I don't think it is more than 10 hours from here.

That would be cool! I like Nashville a lot, but haven't been in fifteen years. It must be even better now.

I have never been to the US. But I think I would want to visit Ripley's Believe it or Not museum. I watched the show on the TV when I was younger.

I remember it being on television too. I think the host was Dean Cain.

Branson Missouri should be on my bucket list since unless I am wrong their are a few musical venues that are named in memory of the late Glen Campbell and the late Andy Williams.

Been to Branson many times, and it is definitely a fun place. We usually stay at a resort in Kimberly City called Green Valley. Nothing spectacular, but we like it and it is always a great and relaxing time. The resort is right on Table Rock Lake.

I like the idea of vacation, i gives one the opportunity to relax and change the mindset before returning to daily bustle activity. Somewhere natural would be my choice though I don't this location, but enjoy your moment.

When you say "natural" what do you mean?
