Upcoming Travel Plans...

I've got a few things I'm working on at the moment. 

Firstly, my Mum and I are planning to take a cruise from Singapore/Thailand through Bali to Australia in the fall.  We have been waiting for the insurance payment to come through for the one we had to cancel last April, before we book this.  That may not have been the best plan, as the prices will probably just keep rising for that trip, and we know we'll be doing it regardless of the outcome of the insurance determination.

In the meantime, GT and I are planning to take advantage of the Free Dining offer and go to Walt Disney World mid-September through Southwest Vacations.  I'm comparing dates and costs for that.  We'd also like to take at least one quick trip to Ocean City, Maryland, if his schedule has an opening.  We missed out on both things last year.

And speaking of the fall, that reminds me I should start thinking about the Sherlock Holmes weekend in Cape May, NJ, that my Mum and I attend every year.  Last year we used a Restaurant.com certificate and ate out the first evening.  We definitely will want to do that again!

I love the planning and anticipating stage of travel.  These days, with the internet community and sites that are available to us, it is so much easier than in days past!

Welcome to the TWS blog!

I'm glad you stopped by!

I've never created a blog before, but I have always wanted to do so.  (I think the perfectionist in me kept putting it off until I knew I could do it just right.  Luckily, the realist in me prodded me into jumping in and learning on the go.)

I hope you'll find this blog to be a fresh take on travel and everything that happens to lead up to it and come from it.  A place for sharing the little tidbits we all have individually.
