I like where I live. I also like to get away. My vacation time just rolled over so it's time to start a-plannin'. I have some places to go...but need some more ideas. So, you, out there...Where should I go?

HIA

I'm going to pop across to the Jolly Old...

england

…and spend some time with a BFF in London Town (and in her town 3 hours outside of London). This year I will bring my new found love of peas, I will research the how’s and why’s of roundabouts, and I won’t make my hosts feed me all sorts of genuine “english” food. (Nando’s here we come!)

Wiki-Roundabout

I'm flying south...

north carolina

…to spend Spring Break with my teacher BFF in Wilmington, North Carolina.

I got on the beach last year (even if I was fully dressed).

Pittsburgh!

I’m beginning to plan a trip to Pittsburgh, hopefully for February.

And being a Chicagoan, I can honestly tell you that I have no idea how we survive the winters.

Bermuda

Peaceful Bermuda

This picture reminds me of bad art at the mall, but Bermuda is constantly the vacation milling about in my mind. But honestly, I’m looking to go to 18 different places every day of the year. Why Bermuda? Because often times there are really cheap flights there out of NYC, like $125 each way.

A few years ago I learned that Bermuda is NOT part of the Caribbean (yeah Catholic school social studies!), but rather, is about 2 hours flying off the coast of the Carolinas. What?!?!? Who knew? Not me! So, it’s kinda freakin awesome to know that I’m only about 5 hours away from that. WANT.

Norway

Norway is my favorite place in all the world and I would do pretty much anything to be there right now. Look how pretty! Sure it’s a bit expensive, but I say you go there!!

I'm going to Chicago...

chicago

…in February. I took this photo from the top of the John Hancock Center last February. (I’m still trying to figure out how people survive that cold! BRRRRRR!)

I'm going to be a beach baby...

bethany beach

…with my family in Bethany Beach, Delaware.

Our yearly trip in July always brings fond memories of Sno-Balls, exploding bathing suit tops, Shooter Jennings concerts, and board game playing. (Ok, honestly, we always SAY we are going to play the games…it never happens. 2009 is the year!)

Salt Lake City?

I’m going for the first time. I’m supposed to be doing some camping and some white water rafting. Can’t wait!

Our new beach rental...

327 Oakwood Street in Bethany Beach, DE

Punkin' Chunkin'

Widget_bicq-esfpmdrmzhgrybwop

I have a whole list of random things I want to see in 2009 (which I should do a guidespot about) but one of the places I want to go on Vacation is to the World Championship Punkin’ Chunkin’ Contest held every year in November in the middle of DE. (this is what happens when I watch too much Discovery Channel)

Let The Beach Boys help you

With a little rendition of “Kokomo.” Lots of vacation spots mentioned.

I put on a show with my neighbor when I was 8 of this song, music video style. HOT.
