Eastern Seaboard Road Trip

We are 10 days away from our first road trip to Stowe, Vermont.
It is a major milestone for me because I truly believe that I am following my dreams.
I believe that for whatever the reason I need to see the world.
I am happy because I had said that by the end of this year I wanted to take a domestic trip. To the New England area. We will be stopping in D.C, staying over night and then exploring the following morning. Very excited to be experiencing a number of different accommodations.On the way home we are planning on stopping in Boston to see the Nutcracker play. I am excited because for me this represents having faith in my own dreams and trusting that things will play out well. I am excited to see what this next adventure will bring. Of course we are also looking at our spring trip. I am planning for Costa Rica in May and trinidad in february. Perhaps we will do Disney next summer too. Very excited. I have to get Khayri's passport ready. What I am expecting for this trip is taking the kids to see the Nation's capital, the Whitehouse, the Martin Luther King monument and the Washington monument. We will finish things off with Thanksgiving Dinner at Station 4. Then we will head to New York City, view time's square at night. Possibly stay at Cory's house for the night and the following morning we will wake up do a little sight seeing and depart at around 11. Arrive in Stowe, Vermont at 5 pm and begin our Winter Wonderland Vacation. Very Very excited about what the future holds for us.

Travel Plans. Seeing the world, in this lifetime !

Talking to a good friend of mine. He linked me to this cool article which details how a man traveled around the world on frequent flyer miles.
http://gizmodo.com/#!5710654/how-to-fly-35000-miles-visit-4-continents-9-countries-and-15-cities-for-418
By saying that something is real and imagining yourself there, you simultaneously create it.

Between November and April I have visited 4 new countries including Dominican Republic, Dominica, Grenada and Antigua. Along with 2 of the U.S Virgin Islands. All of these places which I sharply remember.

Now as I set my sights on places of great spiritual significance like India, Indonesia and Tibet I am widening my net and tuning into what I want to happen.

For me traveling is a spiritual calling. It is an aspect of one's self that beckons to be answered. Like eating or sleeping.

My next sights are set most closely on Costa Rica. That country has been in my heart.

I want to go to Croatia, in Europe.

I am also feeling to travel to the Western United States.
California
New Mexico
Arizona
Oregon
.... Amendment

Wyoming
Montana

Perhaps even Tennessee....Great Smokey Mountains

Vermont
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
Massachusetts...
Maine. How could I forget you ??
All that new England has to offer !

All about VALUE.

I am what one might consider a "money stretcher". I love to make money last and be amazed at what I can get dollar for dollar. The same goes for travel. Personally, I subscribe to Conde Nast magazine to see new discount sites. I also scour the internet for deal websites. If you are thinking of traveling to a certain region, lets say the Mediterranean consider going to less known areas in that same area. In the Mediterranean for instance try Sicily rather than Rome. Go to areas where locals congregate to avoid touristy everything. Surprising how simply looking at a map can mean knowing the region and cutting your costs by at least 25 %. After all the region will have the same topography and climate throughout !

Cheers

Where is this jewel ?

International Living Magazine recently announced its top choice countries in terms of quality of life, with ________ placing 18th out of the 193 countries officially recognized. France placed first, with the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and Luxembourg reaching inside the top 10 as well. The factors considered when evaluating each country include cost of living, culture and
leisure, economy, environment, freedom, health, infrastructure, safety and risk, and finally climate.

So where is it travel detective ?

Inaugural Blog: Sharing my Travel Dreams

I don't know if you've noticed, but I know there is a whole world out there waiting to be explored.
This blog was the brainchild of a friend who heard my inextinguishable desire to travel and suggested I create a travel blog.
And so outside of my normal deep, thought provoking and somewhat serious inquiries of thought, this one is purely for pleasure.
On it I will share my deepest travel desires.
Explore perhaps new words, interesting facts, best times to visit and money value destinations. Some of the more appetizing aspects of destination searching.
Maybe even a rating system for countries like friendliest, happiest, greenest,cleanest.
who knows ?

Either way welcome to 50 years 40 countries (My travel goal by the time I am 50 Years)
