I went to England with my daughter and one of her friends a number of years ago to visit friends. Loved it so much, I went back two years later alone. Everyone thought I was crazy to travel all that way alone, but I had a great time. I went back about 3 years ago with my cousin and her daughter. We drove (I drove) all through the countryside, staying in a different b&b every night. It was a fabulous trip! The following year we did a week in St. Lucia.
After that, Bobby moved in and I stopped traveling with my cousin. (She gets a little anal about things, anyway.) Bobby's not a flier, so a lot of our trips are Amtrak or driving. But we still go away a lot - just for long weekends and such. We go to Buffalo to visit my brother and attend the Erie County Fair every August. This year, I'm going to try to get the whole family there. My mom's coming with me and Bobby, so I want to get my two younger siblings and their families up for a couple of days so we can all go to the Fair together.
At some point we're supposed to be going to Old Quebec with some friends. And we really want to spend a week in D.C. I think I need to set up a charity to benefit myself - like in "I Love Lucy". "The Ladies' Overseas Aid Society".
Our favorite trip? Amtrak to Boston. Great town.
