Most recent trips
Glacier National Park
Plan A was England and Wales. COVID-19 scuttled that. Plan B was a trip to three national parks (Glacier National Park in the USA and Banff and Jasper National Parks in Canada) but the Canadian border was closed due to COVID-19. So Plan C ended up being a road trip to Glacier. Which was still great!
Fort Myers and the Blue Ridge
We were supposed to be in Spain, but the worldwide pandemic canceled that. So we went on a quick road trip to Florida instead, figuring that we could bail out and head home any time. And we were glad we did, because we ended up doing just that!
Belize
Three weeks of sun, sand, snorkeling, and relaxation at Tobacco Caye, Caye Caulker, and Placencia. With a little rainforest and a trip to the zoo mixed in.
Lake Michigan (Mostly)
We spent two weeks in September camping on the Lake Michigan coast, at four different Michigan state parks: Wilderness, Young (on Lake Charlevoix), Interlochen, and Ludington.
Australia and New Zealand
Australia has been on my bucket list forever. New Zealand was added after the Lord of the Rings movies. We combined two trips of a lifetime into a single seven-week adventure on the other side of the earth to Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Uluru, Cairns, and Auckland, Wellington, Nelson, Dunedin, Te Anau, and Queenstown.
