We are finally leaving on our much needed and much anticipated vacation! We were originally booked to leave on a ten day cruise from Hawaii to Vancouver but given the economic climate these days we decided to be more financially responsible. We were able to find a great repositioning cruise from Los Angeles to Alaska and back to Vancouver. I've been to Alaska four times already but for me it's not always the destination but what happens on the trip.
I've always loved to travel. Perhaps it was that I started at a very young age with the pipe band I was in. My biggest trip with the band was when we travelled to Scotland to compete and I was only twelve years old! I spent 6 weeks there and quickly caught the travelling bug.
Most of my trips have been purely for the needed rest and relaxation. Some have been for business with a bonus rest period mixed in; it really was tough having business meetings in Hawaii!! Some have been because a good deal was involved - thanks to the Dorfman family Hawaii became my go to destination.
These days it's hard to get away. Both my husband and I are self employed and it takes many weeks of preparation to get ready for our trips. Sometimes it feels like the pre-trip work adds too much stress but we so look forward to our time away so it all seems worth it.
So, we are off to Los Angeles for a couple of days before the cruise and then off we sail. We don't try to plan things out too much, just sort of fly by the seat of our pants and see what happens. We have met some great people on our trips and some have remained our friends even after the luggage has been put away. We look forward to whatever this adventure brings us.
Bon Voyage!
