Dave likes crafts and he likes to eat so agriculture is acceptable -haha- and I've never been to Europe, only Russia on that side of the world. The mission work is Russia; this trip is pure pleasure although we're collecting gifts to take to people we meet along the way. God opens doors and we walk thru 'em.

I am hoping to go back to Sedona AZ. this summer and bring my 23yr. old daughter and 20 yr. old son and hubby (who shall remain ageless:). I was out in Az. for two weeks this winter and went to the Tucson Gem show for just one day and also visited Sedona for a few days. I love Red Rock anywhere and Sedona is beautiful so we bought a time share off of E-bay for the same resort I stayed at. We got a great price. I am also hoping to bring my mom with me on the plane ride out (she is afraid of flying)and leave her at her sisters house (my Aunt) who is not doing well (she has Cancer). I think it would be good for the sisters to see each other one more time and I'm hoping I can be able to make this happen for them. My Aunt's dream was to go on a hot air balloon ride (her daughter told me) and if possible I am hoping to arrange this for me and my Aunt to do also. So these are possible ideas for my summer trip.

WOW.....everybody is going to be busy this Summer! My husband and I are heading for a Rhine River cruise the end of August. It's a small(er) ship - only 82 cabins so not a HUGE oceanliner type deal. We start in Basel, Switzerland and go up the Rhine, ending in Amsterdam and fly home from there. It's a nine day trip and I'm hoping to have enough energy to REALLY enjoy it. We are using the trip to "celebrate" my six month milestone on my interferon treatments. If only I could skip the shots during vacation - now that would TRULY be a vacation....LOL

quote: Tried to get some travel tips about this trip on the forum here, but apparently no one has much to say about OK or AR -
I went to Kansas City, Branson, MO and on to Eureka Springs, AR in the beginning of April. I fell so in love with the mid-west. Not to mention that I had the best steak I ever had in my life in KC. I spent one day in Eureka Springs, AR http://www.eurekasprings.com/about/. As you can see from the site, one day is not enough. Oh darn, I'll just have to go back there. Then I went on to Gravette, AR the next day. I love the area.
This summer though, we are going to Williamsburg, VA. We just decided that we live close by and we really haven't explored the area. In the past we have done day trips there whenever we had visitors. This time it will be us and we are staying in a hotel and spending a few days there.
I love traveling and when I was a child, I had said that when I grow up I wanted to be a tourist, LOL.

We are going to Las Vegas to see Celine in concert, then renting a car to go to the Grand Canyon for a week. I am not much for camping out so we booked a room at the Grand Canyon Lodge. I can hardly wait to watch the sunrise and set over the canyon walls!

almost angel,
When are you taking your trip? You are going to love vegas AND the grand canyon - the GC lodge is very nice!
You HAVE to go to Margaritaville (Jimmy Buffet's restaurant)..the food is fab, the atmosphere is wonderful, and they play Jimmy Buffet videos up on a screen! LOVE it!
We are going on a family vacation to Vegas in June. I want my kids to see the hotels. Where else can you visit 5 countries in one day. lol

Looks like chatty is going to have some company. Danita, it's just like going to Epcot. So many countries, so little time.
angel, Celine? That's awesome. Who's going?
Eagle, when was the last time hubby got home?
Optimum, we've been to Willaimsburg for a few days vacation in the past. I remember being struck by how nice everyone was, and how clean it was. Very homey too.
Pam, your trip sounds amazing. I"ve never been to Switzerland, but Ross has and he siad it's one of his favorites.
downdog, I'll let you know how this inclusive is. We never stayed at inclusives with the kids when they were little because we had never experienced them. Then our friends talked us in to doing one and now we're hooked.
Val, you are blessed to have kids those ages who still want to travel with Mom and Dad. [ May 15, 2006, 11:35 AM: Message edited by: Dotsie ]

Danita, We are leaving next Wednesday. I am going to give Chatty a call once we are checked in at the Hotel. We are planning to go to Margaritaville. We both love Jimmy Buffet and Margaritas : ) I am hoping Chatty will want to join us.
Dotsie, this time it will be just Ian and I. Most of our friends and family think we are crazy to hike the canyon at our age.
