13 Vacations I’d Love to Take
- Nehalem, OR at July 4.
Nothing special for anyone outside my family. Big, big family gathering most years. Crowded yet fun from what I hear. - Yosemite.
My husband’s favorite place to go. But we haven’t been since we were dating. The kind of hiking he likes to do is a bit tough with small children. - Royal Peacock Opal Mine
You get to dig your own opals, and they’re in the United States. But once again, not a trip for with small kids, and I’d want to try this kind of thing someplace else first. I really love opals. - Australia
I mentioned I like opals, right? But beyond that there’s plenty of interesting sights in Australia. - Disneyland
Yes, been there before and I like going regularly. - Alaska
Aiming to see the Northern Lights if possible. - New Zealand
Just always seems so beautiful. - Japan
Out of sheer curiosity. This interest doubles if my daughter does decide to study Japanese as she has sometimes talked about. - China
I’d love to try this one the way my uncle did - almost all small towns rather than big cities. He says it was much more interesting that way. - The Moon
So what’s an improbable wish or two? - Anywhere, Outer Space
I did mention two improbables, after all. - Mexico
I don’t mean Tiajuana. That’s technically Mexico, but doesn’t count for much of an experience in a foreign country. I’d want time to check out some of the more interesting areas. - Random driving trip.
This is one my husband and I would love to do sometime. Pack up the car, pick a destination for the day. Stay a few days, pick a new location. Repeat. It would probably involve lots of camping.

A great list! I have Alaska and Mexico on my list of ‘Must Visit Places’, but I especially like your last suggestion. To just get in the car and drive…wow, what freedom!
Happy TT!

I would love to go to those opal mines too! Those and the diamond mines in Southwest Arkansas. I’m sure I wouldn’t find a darn thing, but it would be fun!

I’d like to vacation in some of those places as well. And England. I really want to go to England.

I can attest that Alaska is spectacular. We took a cruise. It was me and my husband, my 2 children (then 12 and 10) and my parents (for whom this was the most adventurous trip they had ever taken). We took full advantage of everything we could do…bike riding in Anchorage, salmon fishing in Ketchikan, a helicopter ride and glacier landing and of course our favorite vacation activity….finding a local bar and hanging with the locals.

Ya had me until we went to outer space. That is not something you could pay me to do. Too many listens to Space Oddity
Happy TT!
