Oh the possibilities

Now that I started writing again about traveling, I realized how many places the hubby and I have to yet to go - all before Christmas! Boy, we love to get around. I don’t foresee us every really being stuck to one area…what’s the fun in that? But any who, in the middle of my researching today, I realized that not only do we have our little Bahamas adventure ahead of us, but we still need to visit several different states!

So, we have our 4 day cruise w/weekend in Florida coming up. Great! However, I just realized that the cruise doesn’t take off until Monday afternoon. That leaves us with basically the entire weekend of doing nothing. We can’t waste that! Would YOU waste precious vacation time? I didn’t think so =)

I was thinking of keeping us busy by visiting my sister, her hubby and their new BABY in Virginia!!!!! You’d think that with this not-so-great economy that the airline tickets would be on the downfall. Definitely not! After plugging in some dates, Orbitz told me that 2 tickets from here to Virginia for a weekend alone would be around 800 total while tickets from here to Orlando are about 400 total.

Now, we want to fly to Florida for our Cruise – Florida and Virginia just happens to not be THAT far away from each other. So, to keep the schedule fun and busy, here’s what I got:

Legend: PHX – Phoenix, AZ / ORF – Norfolk, VA / MCO - Orlando, FL

Friday (9/25): PHX – ORF
Monday (9/28): ORF – MCO
Sunday (10/4): MCO – PHX

Total: 635.00

Hm, not bad for multi-destinations, huh? Funny how in just one day I come up with different itineraries…I just can’t seem to sit still.

What’s worse, is we return on 10/04 (Sunday) work all week and then have a wedding in COLORADO that weekend! Oh boy!

And then we want to go to Michigan for Thanksgiving weekend.

I guess that’s why they call us “The Weekend Warriors”
=)

It's been awhile

Wow, I don't remember the last time I was on here. Boy, I need to get on the ball!

As far as traveling in concerned, we haven't been able to do much. HOWEVER, I do PLENTLY of traveling research in my spare time; I hunt down travel deal sites such as travelocity, travelzoo and even budget travel: real deals. I'm constantly scavengerhunting through various forum posts to find the newest, coolest thing to do...and I wiki it. I'm a huge wiki-er. (yes, it is now an official word - according to me).

With the our 2 year wedding anniversary in the near future (less than a month away!), I have thrown myself head first into finding something to do. We have a weeks worth of vacation time, and we intend on using it. With careful planning, here is what we might do:

1. Fly to Orlando (hello all day flying!) from Phoenix, spend the night somewhere.
2. Drive/taxi/bus our way down to Port Canaveral (or as I have been saying it in my head: Port Carnival - don't ask me why)
3. Get onto a really big pretty boat =) and cruise for 4 days to the BAHAMAS - yippee!
4. Get off the pretty boat on Friday
5. Buss our way BACK to Orlando and visit whatever we want until Sunday =)

Options for the weekend include, but not limited to: Disneyworld (whee!), Universal Studios, other theme parks and/or waterparks.

Anything else we can do?

Because traveling is something that the hubby and I thoroughly enjoy, we look forward to the times we can actually do it. It is unfortunate that money is SUCH an necessary evil....it is literally the only thing hindering us from going anywhere...and it's putting a damper on me being able to write about our experiences =(

As I once asked: Where do I sign up for free money?! *sigh*

So, until further notice, I will be hunting for great cruise deals and flights...(no, we have not BOOKED yet, but I'm pretending we have....we will shorlty)

Tootles!
