Vacations - Vacation Planning - Discussion

This is it. I would love to pack up my little fur babies and live here in Italy! They would have a ball discovering all the new places on the property. Looking forward to seeing what everyone dreams about!

^^^If I could only visit one country in the world, it would have to be Italy. Venice, Rome, Florence, Tuscany, the Amalfi coast, the Italian Alps. And then there is the food. Yummy.

If you ever get that place, I hope you're ready for some visitors!

I would love to have a house or cottage with ocean view. Not necessarily beachfront, but ocean view

One of the nice parts of watching The Bachelor, for me, is the travel. I've always wanted to go to Italy, or since Ben F's season, Switzerland.

One of my bucket list things is seeing the Northern Lights. Lately I've taken up watching live eagle cams, or owl cams, etc. They are so interesting. In the process of that, I found a Northern Lights cam from Churchill, Manitoba Canada. It looks awesome, but then I saw the price for a week's stay. It would be so cool to observe the lights from a clear dome.

I love Italy and want to go back again in a couple of years. I'd live there if I could. My Dad (RIP) took me to his hometown when I was 9 yrs old. I have a lot of pictures from that trip. I went again at 18yrs old, don't remember much of that trip. Some 30 odd years later I went with my sister brother in law niece/nephew etc. I now have pics in the same spot when I was 9 yrs old and 50yrs old!

I really enjoy live cam's too. I've watched the bald eagles in Florida but the most memorable one was following Lily the black bear for several weeks awaiting the arrival of her cub. She gave birth to Hope, and I was lucky enough to be online when it all happened.

Have you ever seen the Brooks Falls bear cams? very interesting toward the end of June. I don't think they're running yet.

Yes, I think it was Brooks Falls, or at least some bear cam from Alaska. I think seeing something on the news about the Washington DC eagle cam got me to looking at that one, and then discovered all these others. I'm spending way too much time on them, but I love animals, so... It's all very interesting. I was especially excited to see the Northern Lights one since I want to see them so bad, and this way I can see them live even if it is on a computer.

My dream car: Ford Mustang Shelby GT500


However, as my son said: Mom, you might get in but you'll find it a struggle to get out.

Title topic changed to Vacation, Vacation Planning. Tell us where you've been on vacation, or what plans you may have, or questions regarding a vacation you are planning!

Thanks, GA!  

We're going on a New England/Eastern Canada cruise at the end of the month. We're hoping for some nice fall colors and weather. We leave from Quebec City and have an extra day there. Our other stops are Sydney, NS; Halifax, NS; Saint John, NB; Bar Harbor, ME; and end up in Boston. We're staying in Boston for 2 extra days. Our ship is the Norwegian Dawn and we're really looking forward to it.

Any suggestions for things to do? We have excursions booked but have more time in most places. We're renting a car in Saint John so are free to do whatever we want. I'm sure we'll take a look at the Reversing Falls.

When you are in N B. Try and go to St. Andrews. It is very picturesque. My son has a summer home there and paints many of the sites. There is a beautiful garden and a ferry that goes to
Grand Mannan Island, which is very rustique. Bay of Fundy has the highest tide in the world.

Thanks, Junequilts. It looks like something we should consider.
