I need vacation ideas for a short trip
Permalink  
 


So now that I have a lot of time off through January 6th I want to take a short trip.  Where do I go?  It would be by myself.

I could drive up to the mountains and stay a spa and go skiing

or

Pigeon Forge?

or

Outerbanks

Or St Pete's?

Pigeon Forge is fun.

Or Branson.

Vegas?

What about a short cruise?

I know. Pack a bag, fill the tank, and drive. Road trips can be very satisfying.

How about getting a travel book for more local sites and really take a look at what is nearby for day trips. Maybe some interesting sites, bed and breakfasts, etc. I always think we could do more locally.

 Well that is why I was thinking about the mountains,the coast is out due to high winds.  There are plenty of local sites within  hours I would love to go to.

Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge were very pretty last week, especially when it snowed. The mid-week rates were reasonable too.

 Thanks, looking at those places.  I just need to hang and drink coffee with a view of a mountain.

The blue ridge mountains of North Carolina is beautiful, Asheville is a cute artsy town, the Biltmore estate is gorgeous and it may still be decorated for Christmas.

 Rent a cabin with a hot tub. Just try to avoid Wears Valley. 

Or, the Mainstay in pigeon forge is a great place.

It's in the middle of town, but three blocks back from the strip. 

I love it.

Decide international vs domestic. Go to the airport and see where the soonest flight is going. Get on it.

I would say come stay with me, but there is no where to put you.

The house, camper, and dog houses are full.

 I need a private hot tub though.  Not doing the communal ones anymore, those are bacteria ridden ones.

 My coworker had a hot tub at an air bnb with 2 other couples. Three of them ended up needing meds due to a bad skin condition. They contacted the owner and they swore the hot tub was drained and cleaned between guests. I told him that was highly unlikely.

 Most rentals have private ones.

confuseSo we are doing Germany in August, a bit of a twist to annual expenses. I still may drive to the mountains but also paint my living room for the 4th time during my time off.

 You will LOVE Germany! Well worth the travel expense. So much to see and do! The history is overwhelming. Oh gosh, wish I was going with you for sure now.

DGD is going to Scotland, England and France in the summer of 2021 on a 10 day science/medical school educational trip. I am so excited for her!

I'm so happy for you!

 I've been to Germany / Brussels are few time with work.  This trip will be centered in Frankfort.  It is a relatively short drive to two concentration camps, plus on the Rhine river so plan to do a cruise on that.  more details to work out.

We're going to England next summer. We were going to France as well, but it's hot & smelly during the summer, so we'll stick to England. There is so much I want to see there that I missed the last time I went to visit a boyfriend back in 2000.
