last real vacarion was in 2009...road trip and camping to the Piney Woods of East Texas...Live on Tx/Ok border...
nothing at all since then...not even day trips...hope to remedy that soon with some 2-3 day camping trips around
Tx...then in spring of 2013 hitting the road on extended camping trip to Tennessee and maybe as far as Maine...
can't wait for next spring to get here...
The last time I had a real vacation where I got to go somewhere new just to relax and not because it was work-related or to see family was in Hawaii in 2003-2004 (we rang in the New Year on Maui).
I drove to Passau, Germany; Linz, Austria and Cesky Krumlov, Czech this weekend.
Does that count?
Northern Brittany. I had almost forgotten how much I loved it and how beautiful it can be. As a Native Breton it was great to come "home" so to speak albeit for too short a period...
We had fabulous warm weather, the beaches were empty and it was really peaceful and quiet too ! A slightly more advantagous exchange rate also made it a little bit cheaper which is always a bonus !
And please stop making me jealous with all your wanderings, this simply is too much, the green eyed travel monster raises its head every time I read your posts !
Next vacation is almost a month in Portland OR in the Fall , can't wait... I don't know how people manage without going on vacation, I pretty much live for mine !
Oxford is awaiting you with open arms but the weather is a little iffy at the moment I must warn you ! Fancy going Punting on the river ? We love it !

I'm sitting at a resort in Thailand (I think there are 5 of us staying here (about 995 empty rooms).... VERY inexpensive). (BTW... I'm ON WORK ASSIGNMENT)
Last week I booked MANY flights for the New England and SE of USA fall colors. 6 weeks will run about $2000 total INCLUSIVE. (travel (at the moment) is cheaper than staying HOME)
I LUV $39 flights on SWA. I booked $139 PNW to Baltimore and use $39 hops to get around the whole east coast.
What a life.... (almost as good as our many Home School Field trips (6-12 weeks)). They were REALLY fun.
Now if gas would only go back tp $.19 / gal... I could use my 20 mpg Motorhome more.
In the meantime I will keep burning FREE grease, And take the $35 car that gets 50 mpg.
