Need to get away for a while

by

I would love nothing more than to get away for a while. I’ve been under quite a bit of stress in the last few months and I think I need to just take a few weeks to myself if I can.


Lucky for me I’ve had a few invites from people for places to stay for a while if I want to get away. Two of my brothers have offered their homes up to me and a friend in Florida just offered to let me stay with her for a while too.

I have to say the Florida getaway sounds like it would be the most fun. Especially since my friend and I talked about looking into staying at one of the Disney World hotels for a few days as well during my visit. Of course that getaway would be the most expensive for me and the situation I’m in doesn’t leave me with much money it seems – so staying with one of my brothers if I need to get away is probably what I’ll end up doing.





What’s with everyone going on vacation this week?

by

A few people I know are on vacation this week. My brother is in Mexico and and so is another girlfriend of mine and another friend took a trip to Florida. It figures … just when it starts to get cold and rainy here in Toronto several people I know head off to warm places. Sigh!

Actually … one of my friends is on a scuba diving trip and she sent an email the other day with a few pictures that she took underwater. I’m a photographer as well so loved seeing the images she sent.

In her email she also told me about a new toy that she was going to try on her next dive – they’re liquid image summit series goggles and they’re basically diving goggles that allow you to film your dive. Pretty cool! I’m waiting to hear back from her so I can find out how it worked.

Have you gone on a vacation recently or are you going on a vacation? I won’t be going on one anytime soon even though I’d love to!

Get away for the long weekend?

by

It seems like almost everyone in my family is getting away this weekend or next week. Except me and my oldest brother.

I’d love to get away if I could. It’s a long weekend here since it’s Thanksgiving and for once it seems we don’t have plans with my husbands family for the holiday. Obviously we don’t have plans with my family either … so … I wonder if it’s too late to find a place to go for the weekend .. even if it’s just overnight one night?

Maybe a quick trip to Niagara Falls or a cabin with rustic barnwood furniture or something? Since it’s a long weekend it might be hard to get a booking and it might be more expense, but you never know. Hmmm .. my husband is out right now, but when he gets in I’m going to see what he thinks of the idea.

Dreaming of a warm vacation

by

I was just saying how cold it’s been here in Toronto this winter. We certainly aren’t used to it being this cold. We’ve had it lucky the last few years as it’s actually been quite a bit warmer than usual the last few years during the winter … I guess we’re out of luck this year.

Well .. considering how cold it is this year it’s making me yearn to go on a holiday. On a whim I went looking at Hawaii cruise deals and flights to the Caribbean. We can’t afford a tropical holiday this year … but I can dream … especially on the days when the wind is blowing so very cold outside my door.

I’d love to have a vacation property

by

I was talking to one of my neighbors the other day and he was telling me that he’s looking into buying a vacation property.

That’s something that my husband and I have always wanted! A cottage by the lake or a beach house somewhere. Oh wouldn’t that be nice?

It seems the dream might come true for our neighbor. He’s leaving sometime this week to take a look at Outer banks foreclosures and he hopes to get a deal on a property. I’ve heard the Outer Banks are lovely so I imagine that he’ll fall in love with one of the sites that he sees.

Do any of you have a second property that you use for vacations or weekends?
