Sunday Social- July 15





Sunday Social



Best trip you've ever been on
As I write this, I realize I haven't been on too many trips.  I think my favorite memory is the trip Daniel and I took to Las Vegas for his 21st birthday.  It turned out neither of us were into gambling, and though we both drank a bit we weren't into the bar scene.  We walked up and down the strip a bit, then we decided to go to Wal-Mart for orange juice, vodka, and a couple board games.  We hung out in our hotel room, had a couple drinks, played games, and watched a movie.  Early the next morning we headed back home.  


Best idea for a girls' weekend trip
I have never been away for a girls' weekend, but it actually sounds like fun.  I would love to do something that mixes relaxation and exercise.  I'd like to take some hikes, do some yoga, then get a great massage.  Hanging out chatting and eating with girlfriends and/ or my mom sounds like a nice get away that would bring me home refreshed and ready to take on the world again.  Oh, I can't forget some time to sit and read during the weekend, too!


Best idea for a couples trip
If Daniel and I were to get away, I think it would be fun to go somewhere we can have time to talk and remember what it was like to hang out before we had children.  I'm don't have a burning desire to get away from the girls, though.  A vacation with Daniel right now would look much the same as our trip to Las Vegas (see above), but I would love to be near the beach this time.

Best vacation on the cheap
I LOVE the stay-cation Daniel and I did for our honeymoon.  We plan to do something similar during Christmas break this year.  It's amazing how many things can be found near home with just a little research.


Place you most want to visit
I don't have an extreme desire to travel.  I like my routines and the comfort of my home too much.  If I did ever get out of my comfort zone, though, I'd like to do it big.  I would love to go to Australia.


Vacation/Travel necessities
My thyroid medication is a necessity, even on an overnight trip
Plenty of clothes and underclothes
Hygiene products of all sorts
A good book!

Oh yes and when you come to Australia you must come for a visit. Your words are in contrast to me because I love to travel and want to go so many places.

I guess the one thing I've discovered is that visiting is never as good as immersing and living as those who live there do. I would ideally like to work and travel my way around the world at a leisurely pace, going where the whim moves me to, when I want to.

That would be my idea of bliss. Your idea for Christmas break sounds ike fun

We'll definitely come visit you when we come to Australia, Fi!

I've never really been one to wander too far from home. In fact, I didn't go to college outside of my town because I didn't want to be that far away. I guess I'm not very adventurous. That's okay, I'll hold down the fort while everyone else takes a trip in most cases.

How cute about your trip to Las Vegas all those years ago. I think you would like Lake Tahoe, only in the fact that it has the gambling, of course, so if one wants to do a bit of gambling that's great, but there is also a lot of other things to do outside and its beautiful up there too.

I know what you mean about taking your meds along, even for an overnight trip. When the kids were young and we went on vacation, as long as I packed my daughter's meds, I felt anything else if I forgot to pack it, we could buy, but hard to do that with medicine.

Stay-cations are great things; took one myself this past May. It is fun to explore your town and I figured since people pay money to come here to vacation (San Diego area), there's got to be enough things to do to keep one busy for a week :)

have a great Sunday!
