Travel Travel!

Every time I go on vacation, I get urge to travel even more.  We just got back from Disney World, and unlike last year, I'm not really ready to start planning next year's Disney trip, but I have again started thinking about places around the world I'd like to go.  There is a list, but right now there are two international destinations and a few domestic locations in my mind.

International:

1.  Ireland.  I don't know what draws me to Ireland exactly.  I do have Irish heritage, but really I think the culture appeals to me most.  Of course Ireland is a beautiful country with lots to see in addition to the culture.  Also, this would be a trip we could plan and navigate ourselves without having to rely on a tour company.

2.  Egypt.  This will be our 5th Anniversary trip.  Egypt is just awesome.  I mean, to us 100 years is old.  That time span is but a moment in Egyptian history.  Pyramids, the Sphinx, Cairo, the Nile . . . the stuff of legends and history.  I can't wait.

Domestic:

In no special order:

1.  West road trip.  When I was 12 or so my family went on a road trip through the Mountain West.  South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nebraska, etc.  However, I want to fully experience a similar trip at a more casual pace and stopping at all the cool places and bypassing the boring ones.  

2.  Boston.  No explanation needed.

3.  San Jose.  Ryan and Kristan live there and besides flying through LAX once I've never been to California.

4.  San Francisco.  I've wanted to visit the set of Full House (j/k) and Greg lives there.

5.  Anywhere else.  I'll go anywhere that looks interesting.  For instance, our vacation of opportunity in Philly was awesome and we were able to take full advantage of an already planned trip!

If anyone has suggestions, advice, or a few thousand dollars I can put towards a trip, please let me know.  Travel safe & fun everyone!!
