I have been blessed to traveled a lot in my life. My parents loved to see new places and they made a distinct effort to travel with me whenever we had the chance while I was growing up. In college and after I traveled all over Europe. Prior to moving to the US I frequently traveled for my work. So, needless to say, traveling has developed into a passion of mine, and I get a thrill visiting and exploring new places. Here is where I went in 2013 and I'm so happy to accomplish it!
I'm working now on my new traveling plans. This year I would like to travel more locally ... I intend to stay in the US and maybe explore both coasts. Or perhaps take a nice drive along the Pacific ..... by RV might be a fun choice.....We'll see... so far Las Vegas, Napa Valley, and the Caribbean are all on my list .... and of course my favorite winter destination is Miami Beach and St. Petersburg, Russia for summer :)
Well, I'm dreaming big....and I want to make memories all over the world! Woohoo!!!!

Have you turned any dreams into plans? How did it work out?
I would love to know....please share it with me,

New York is on the top of my list! Closer to home are Stockholm, Vienna and Helsinki.
ReplyDeleteI like to visit NY again .... nothing better to spend a day in Central Park ( in summer) and visiting museums there. I saw a fashion exhibition of Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty in Metropolitan - it was spectacular!!!!!
DeleteAlso, Vienna in my priority list as well!
I simply LOVE your artwork! So refreshing!
ReplyDeleteParis is top of the list and it just might happen this year :)
I really hope it will happen for you my dear Duni! Thank you for you lovely comments!
DeleteWhat fun to see so many beautiful places!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see all those places and I hope to see even more in the future! Thanks for stoping in Kathleen!
DeleteLots of great destinations in 2013! I hope you get to do just as much traveling in 2014 as well. I'd love to do Route 66 some day!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think I may have to slow down this year and more concentrate on the local life.... but one opportunity strikes again, I have my suitcase ready to go! I would like to do Route 66 as well... perhaps in some day!
DeleteWow you visited to a lot of dreamy places! I haven't had a chance to travel much, and now with a child it is harder, but I would love to see Italy someday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz! When my kids was a little I was travel even more then now (due to work schedule). I think it just got in to my genes somehow ... and never dissolved :)
DeleteI think you should explore California! My mom's side of the family still lives out there, and it's just gorgeous. It's amazing how many different kinds of geography are all in one state.
ReplyDeleteI know Paige....Totally agree with you! I visited California many... many times - Sun Diego, LA, Hollywood, Carmel, Sun Francisco, and St. Barbara ... and now mention more others places there --- my Favorite is Hearst Castle! That place is so magnificent took my breath out! Literally!
DeleteTotally jealous that you've been traveling so much. I love exploring new places, but I didn't get to go to many places last year. I live close to New York, so I frequent that city a lot. The only other place I went in 2013 was Las Vegas. It's amazing, you'll love it. There's so much to do and see there. It takes a few days to walk through the entire Strip and see all the hotels. I recommend staying at the Quad. Great hotel, very cheap and it's in the middle of the strip, so it's easy to walk from one hotel to the next.

Thank you girl for all your input on the trip to Vegas. I never stayed in Quad and I don't even know where it located. But we booked in Venetian Piazza Hotel again and I like a lot to stay there. ( it is my third time) Previously I stayed in Paris, which is affordable and have a nice distinctive quality as well. I'm glad you had a great time!
DeleteHow exciting to visit all those wonderful places! I don't even have a passport, but I'd like to visit Denmark some day -- sort of a "roots" tour. My travel destinations are tied to kids and grandkids -- New Hampshire, DC, New York, Colorado and Arizona. Would love to travel to see all of them this year, but that probably won't be possible unless I win the lottery.
ReplyDeleteMy fingers cross for your "lottery big winning"! I visited DC in 2012 and it was totally memorable experience! Heat of 100F made it so difficult to see and appreciate all those stunning monuments and places....I really would like to go again in the better weather condition! I think it is a best place for visiting and learning about history of US!
Deleteas a fellow lover of travel I am already anxious to get travelling this year.

bestest Daisy j
you so welcome! I miss my mom (she lives in Russia) so much and anything about mother/doughtier relationship - especially the story you put for your mom, so touching and endearing...I could not to passed by:)
DeleteBest wishes for you and your mama!
Beautiful illustrations, Lana! In fact, making and selling my own art is a dream I've made come true! It was born out of accident really. I thought, why not put together a little etsy shop and see if anyone likes my work? Turns out some do, and I feel lucky every day to be able to do what I do, AND be here for my two young children!
ReplyDeleteHappy Trails to You!
Melissa, I'm so glad it works for you as well! I wish you many more happy sales and also a lot of great inspiration for years to come!!!! xx,
DeleteYou're so lucky to have been able to travel to so many places! I traveled when I was younger, but not so much since beginning a family. I'd love to take the kids somewhere fun, though. =0)
ReplyDeleteDisney is a best place with a kids in my opinion....but you have to be ready...it is a really "line and wait" consuming:) I hope, Kim, you will able to take them this year some place fun!
ReplyDeleteI have the travel bug, too!
ReplyDeleteI like your list. What a fun way to keep track.
I have been to Europe twice, long ago, and only briefly.
I've been to Canada and the Caribbean.
I grew up on the east coast outside of Washington, DC. I've been to every state but about 5.
I love the whole Western US coast. beautiful!
Happy Travels!
Sweet! Thank you for your wishes and Happy Traveling!
DeleteI only visited Washington couple years ago in summer.... it was so hot ...my skin was on fire almost:) I think it was a record of heat like 110... or feels like:)
