CURRENTLY VISITING HAWAII!!

See the World for Free

The idea here is to TRAVEL THE WORLD regardless of time or budget. It dawned on me one day that even if I had unlimited time and money (which I definitley do not), I still couldn't see everything in the world that I'd like to see--I'm simply not going to live long enough to do it.

But I had a bit of brain wave and soon after the travel envelope was born. This is an actual physical envelope. I typed the name of every country in the world, plus every state in the US on little slips of paper which I then put into the envelope. In the beginning we (myself, my husband, Dave and daugher Catherine) would draw out a slip at random at the beginning of the month and that's where we would go---at least in our minds. We grab some books about the country from the library and put them in our bathroom to look at. We also check out some videos about the country if any. We check it out on googleearth, listen to the music, try the food, maybe even attempt to learn a dance or celebrate a festival.

After the first two years we discovered that even virtual traveling can be tiring, so we travel now whenever I happen to be in the mood.

It's great fun. I especially love it when people I meet have been to the place I'm "visiting" in real life, or get excited and have some virtual adventures of their own. I hope that anyone who comes across this blog will feel welcome to come with us on the trip!



You have a standing reservation to see it all!

Beautiful Vermont

Vermont is definitely one of the states where I would love to live. How can the scenery get any prettier? On Google, one of the first images I saw was this beauty--


I want to be here. For days and weeks and years I want to be exactly here.  This is a view of the hot tub at Twin Farms Resort, Vermont's only 5 star resort.  I like the story behind it. When author Sinclair Lewis proposed to his wife, she said she'd only marry him if he bought her a farm in Vermont. So he did--a lovely 1795 era farmhouse. Through the years it's been passed on and changed until it's now this high class place in Barnard, VT. I'm sure it's expensive, but I'm not about to look. I want to hang on to the fantasy that I'm actually there.
