Travel Plans

As much as I am very much a home body, I love, love, love to travel!  But sadly have not been able to travel for a very long time.  I gotta say it's been driving me slightly mad, I just want to go somewhere.  Everywhere in fact.  I'd seriously love to hop on a plane and back pack all over Europe, Asia, etc.

When I was younger our family used to travel a lot, my mom always said it was in exchange for us not having a cottage.  Totally okay with that, it gave me a great appreciation for seeing the world.

There are many places I really want to see, and so it's really hard for me to try to pin down one place to set a goal and visit!  (Start with one, move on with the rest) just when I think I've finally decided, I think of another place I'd love to go see.

My top two pics right now are Rome and St Martin!

Rome, for many, many reasons.  Thousands of years of history right in one city!  The art, the architecture, it's in Italy.  But also it's been popping up a lot in books, movies, games I read.  I feel like there's a giant finger poking me constantly and saying: Rome, Rome, Rome, over and over again.  Until one day I finally went: ALRIGHT!  I'll start saving up!  (Still have to actually start saving up).

But then I remember this lovely little island in the Caribbean that I got to visit with my parents one year during March break.

Of all the places I've visited it is the first place that I was sad to leave.  Not that I didn't enjoy my other vacations and trips, but I feel like I left a part of my soul in St Martin.  And I have days where I just desperately want to go back there.

The people were amazingly friendly.  Super welcoming and helpful and gracious and just really amazing people.  (The Manager of the restaurant said he'd find me a horse loving guy).  And the scenery???

Ya huh.

White sandy beaches, warm water, never to hot weather, barely rained.  My favourite part?  Sitting on a the little porch to our room at night looking at the lights of the houses in the mountains and watching the masts of the ships docked in the marina sway in the tide.

So cozy, so amazing.

So I've decided I'm honeymooning there and my future husband has no choice in the matter.  I already know what resort too, and we're doing a full moon trail ride.

That way, I can happily visit Rome when I've saved up for it knowing that that trip is already planned.
