[QUOTE="Lil, post: 646493, member: 17309"] What Jabber didn't say is we went in April! :D It was AMAZING. We were supposed to do 7 days in Rome, 5 in Belgium and 5 in Paris. We never left Italy because the day we were to fly to Belgium was the day the volcano in Iceland blew and grounded all the air traffic in northern Europe. Somehow, no one felt sorry for us, being stuck in Italy. LOL We ended up spending almost 3 weeks in Italy before we got a flight home from Rome. I want to go back, take a month, start in Venice and go all the way to Sicily. No real Itinerary, just rent a car and drive from one end to the other. I loved Italy that much. We hoped to go to Ireland this year, but I don't expect that to happen. :( We'll get there though. My great grandfather came from Ireland and my mother always wanted to go. Like Jabber said, Santorini would be wonderful. I've been told it's the most beautiful place on earth. There are a few places I'd love to see that I know won't happen. Egypt and the Middle-East, for obvious reasons, won't be happening. :( I'd like to see Bangkok and Nepal. I doubt those will ever happen. I'd like to go to Mardi Gras...and Burning Man (I think I could have been a hippie in another life)...Jabber would never go to either I think. Realistically, there's so much of the US we haven't seen! I would love to take a month and just drive...see parts of the country I haven't seen...and parts the Jabber hasn't seen. He's never seen the Pacific Northwest, which is my favorite part of the country. I'd love to go to Key West and up the eastern coast, which I've never seen. Maybe someday when we're old and retired we'll be those folks in the motor home you see tooling along down the road. On the non-long-trip front, I'd just like to do about anything! We haven't done anything in so long...that trip in 2010 to Italy was the last real thing we've done. I would be happy to just go to some local SCA events this summer. Maybe take a canoe trip...just an overnight and down a river. Heck, I'd even go to a football game. ;) I want to go fishing!

I just don't know why we don't do things, except we work too many hours and once our son started acting out...well, he never wanted to do anything and we couldn't comfortably leave him alone.
