Planning a Getaway
Friday, April 2nd, 2010NO, we’re not robbing a bank! When it gets to this time of year in Phoenix, people start leaving. The weather begins to be warmer and the snowbirds start flocking up north.
We have thoughts of migrating ourselves. We have a short trip to LA coming up, but we’re also planning a longer stay.
But, where to go? We have nine days and we want a new place –“somewhere where we’ve never been before.”
We had several ideas. First, we’ll stay stateside since we’re not in the mood for customs and dealing with currency conversions.
Also, we don’t want an enormous plane ride. We’re open to the possibility of a drive, but we don’t want to spend most of the vacation getting there.
I voted for open spaces, but I need to see water. My husband also likes open spaces, but he likes mountains.
California? Been there, done a lot of it.
Colorado? Maybe. I keep hearing about Durango and picturesque mountains.
Wyoming? Certainly, it has the open spaces!
Idaho? The scenery looks great in the brochures!
Washington (the state)? We drove through on our way to Vancouver. I’d get my water and my husband his mountains.
We’ve sent for new brochures. Yes, I know, the mountains and natural features don’t change too much in a few years. But, hotels and manmade items do change.
With visions of exploration and open vistas dancing in my head, I will sign off for now.
Come back next week, and we’ll share more about our plans. Out west for sure!
