Jolanthe is hosting Friend Makin' Monday today.  This week's topic is vacations.  We can either share a memorable vacation story, or post about 5 places we'd love to vacation someday.  I think I'll go with the latter...

1. Disney World - it's always #1 on my list of vacation destinations; and even though we've been there several times (our most recent trip this past January), I always want to go back.  Each time we go, I think we extend our trip by a few days.  One of these years, I'd love to REALLY extend it and add in a short Disney cruise and a few days at Sea World (which, like Jolanthe, would include swimming with the dolphins at Discovery Cove).  Big dreams!

2. Vietnam - again, I've been there twice, but our goal is to go back again when Gracie and Ian are both old enough to remember the trip.  We want to really take some time and soak everything in - really take the time to see the sights and learn more about this country of their heritage. 

3. Europe - I'd love to go on a tour of this continent - especially England. Europe is so rich in history and is definitely someplace I'd love to, one day visit.  We spent 5 months living in Italy when I was a little girl (my dad was on business there) and we enjoyed brief trips to France, Switzerland, Austria - but I'd love to do it all again now that I can actually remember!

4. Price Edward Island - I'm a confessed Anne-aholic.  You gotta love Anne!  I've always wanted to go and visit the place where these awesome books by Lucy Maude Montgomery are set.  I've ordered the tour guide information on several occasions and love to just sit and peruse them, dreaming of one day being able to visit.  My mom told me the other day that she and my dad are considering a long bus trip to Nova Scotia, which would include touring PEI - I must say, I'm happy for them (if they decide to go) but also extremely jealous!

5. The midwest and western US.  I've pretty much been up and down the east coast, but haven't been too terribly far west.  Up until recently, I haven't even really been interested; but lately I feel a desire to see places like the Grand Canyon, etc. 

What about you?  Have a list of vacation destinations in mind?  Or maybe a fun vacation memory to share?  Take part in Friend Makin' Monday.
