travel

[Miss Spaulding]

I chose traveling by plane, but other then traveling by car, flying is really the only way I've experienced traveling. I would have chosen by train, but I've only traveled by train once and that was years ago. I love trains. To travel by train is so...romantic.

I've been to quite a few states and big cities up and down the east coast. As for the west and midwest, I've been to Arizona, Nevada and Texas. Spent good time all three states. I LOVE Arizona. I've also crossed over the border into Canada to see Niagra Falls, and in the summer of '08 I went on mission trip to Braila, Romania. I'd go back to Romania in a heartbeat.

Having literally just gotten back from a cruise this afternoon (I'm on CF while navigating the slowness that is my internet connection to upload pics to Facebook), I'd definitely have to say I love cruises lol But I also love car trips and trains. I tolerate flying (pretty much the only way I get back to see my family) but I don't love it.

Places I've visited: Mexico (Progresso & Cozumel, where the cruise went), pretty much every place you can think to go in Virginia (where I grew up), DC, England, Scotland, Florida, North & South Carolina, Kentucky, Texas (Dallas - where I live now, Houston, Galveston, San Antonio, Austin, many other places in between, but oddly never Fort Worth lol) and every state south between Virginia and Texas (when I moved to Texas, I took the bus)

Places I want to go: everywhere lol but especially Ireland, also back to England/Scotland and Mexico. DH is already planning (half-jokingly, I think) our next cruise

Do you like to travel?

I love the idea of travelling, but not the application of it

What are some places you have been?

All over the United States.

What are some places that you would like to go?

We just got a travel trailer and are breaking it in by going to some National Parks In a few years we might take it down to Ft. Wilderness to have some fun at WDW. We both eventually would like to take a trip to Hawaii, and I would love to visit Great Britain, France, Italy, and Germany.

Do you have any travel tips?

When travelling with an ADDer make frequent stops, or we will make the trip unenjoyable for you

ohh I'm so happy... I just booked my next trip (I'll be wandering around the great states of California and Washington again) and spending time with some wonderful CFers, all of whom I have met before.

plus the credit card I used builds up money with an airline here and every dollar I spend I earn the same amount towards a flight. which means... thanks to the money I've spent so far, I can take another couple of trips with the flights already paid for.

(it really doesn't take much to make me happy )

I am going on a trip overseas in about a week! I'm trying to confine everything to just a carry on. It's work related but we will also have some time for just exploring and having fun!

How exciting Mina! Where are you going?

I'm also going overseas in a week. I'm going to visit my sister in Austria. I haven't seen her for about 2 years. I'm counting down the days!

[Woven]

That sounds awesome! I'll wave at you from the other side of the Alps

 

[Blank123]

oh so jealous of you two. I hope you both have fantastic trips!

 

[Woven]

Merci! That's about all the French I remember from school days. That and: Je ne comprends pas (although maybe that is different in Canada?)

Nope - its the same here

 

[Woven]

I'm not sure how different Canadian French and French French are. Maybe I should practice on you! I love French. Such a beautiful language.

this site is cool; it helps to create a customized packing list based on the temperatures of your destination and what sort of activities you will be doing there. It's a nice reminder! Now I just need to pack for later this week! I hate packing! The Universal Packing List

There always time to read!
The hello and thank you... in their native language make people smile.
Try strange food, in all cases it will create a memory either good or bad.
I learned that everywhere I will find shampoo and all that stuff so no need to stress about it.
I used to get stressed when lost, but now I take a breath and enjoy it.

[Mydnyte]

Do you like to travel?
Absolutely

What are some places you have been?
Myrtle Beach SC, Washington DC, Virginia Beach Va, New Bern NC, Salt Lake City Utah, Springfield Missouri and several other places mostly around the South.

What are some places that you would like to go?
A place apparently called "Nowhere" in NC Scotland, The Black Hills out in the Dakotas, and lots of places back out west. I also love going to Myrtle Beach, one of my favorite places.

Do you have any travel tips?
I prefer sitting in the center of the plane, especially the smaller ones, cause you get bounced around a lot less if there's turbulence. Also, if most people would just follow the rules when they get to the airport, they'd have a lot less hassle getting through security. I've never had a problem with getting patted down or searched. Just follow the freakin rules.

Do you have any travel tips? Don't meet the drug cartels. Just kidding. How about don't drink a bottle of water, then get on a plane.
