    Maybe you're a beach bum, a tour fanatic, or an adventurer...
    ...we all need to take time away and enjoy life!
    When was the last time you went on Vacation, what are your plans for your next one?

    In December I went to Vancouver to visit a friend. First time I've ever been there and it was beautiful!

    My next trip ..... I don't know. We just bought a house so I guess my trip will be moving in. Yippeeeee!

    Last time, weekend away in Regina, was about 17 or 18 years ago.

    No plans for a vacation.

    Last one was Niagara Falls 2 summers ago. Now not sure if we can get away because of my dad but we had planned to go to Ottawa for a few days this summer.

    We do a lot of mini trips - Went to Ottawa around Christmas, I'm going to Syracuse next week, Toronto & Northern Ontario last August.

    As for big trips - it's been awhile. I used to travel every year but just haven't been able to since we had kids. Our last big trip was to DisneyWorld when DD was 1 (4 years ago) we were in Florida for 8 days flew home for 1 day and then travelled on to Edmonton for a few months (for DH's work).

    We're planning our next big trip to Florida next year. DD will be 6, DS will be almost 4. Great ages PLUS I'm dying to see Hogwarts. Our loose goal after that is Ireland within the next 5-6 years. *fingers crossed*

    Our last (OK, really our only) big one was Disneyworld in October. We had a great time, and we're going to go again probably next year. I think we'll do a bit lighter on Disney, and go further south, maybe the Everglades.

    We'll be in Ottawa this year for a wedding, but that will just be a long weekend.

    Last trip was our 40th anniversary cruise: Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt (to my pyramids), back to Italy.
    April will be Disneyworld with our DD, her DH and our grandson at the Disney "CARS" resort...hubby and I have our own bedroom and ensuite, our DD has scheduled us within an inch of our lives, LOL...so we'll be hitting all the "hot spots" for adventure and dining! Now, to just get thru March!

    last 'vacation' was nearly 10 years ago. no comment on that..
    nothing planned so far.... if things turn around for us soon... that may change. probably something tropical.

    It's been too long since I last went somewhere. After RRSP, TFSA's and debt.....

    I heard some Holland customers can go by rail between Anchorage and Skagit. But can't find any details about it.

    Last vacation - Las Vegas Honeymoon in 2012
    Next vacation - Dominican Republic next week :D
    Then - Paris in 2016

    We try to go somewhere every second year or so, I have a automatic payroll deduction savings bond set up strictly for traveling. Small house + hand me down furniture = more travel money...

    Last vacation was October 2012 to Arizona for our anniversary and a mini vacay was in October 2013 to Whistler for Dh's work and we made an anniversary trip out of it.

    Not sure when or where but it has to be pet friendly since we can't leave our furbaby since I have to give him his shots daily.
