When Bill retires we are planning on traveling some I just hope the economy is stable by then which will be a year or two from now. I’m not going to hold my breath though, but I can hope. I feel very sorry for families with young children because there’s so much to worry about now a days, but families need time to have fun together even if it’s not a big vacation way from home.

I receive e-mail advertisements all the time for vacation specials because I signed up to receive special deals when they become available. Of course I get them from all over because I like to dream and plan. I often get the Disney packages, but it’s only Bill and myself and if we still had small children that would be ideal. For those families that are planning a get away it pays to check with a travel agent or find online specials.

Disney vacations are one of the top get aways for family fun and excitement. I will never forget the magic I felt as a little girl when we all went to California to visit family and we actually got to go to Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm. That’s one of the very few good childhood memories I have from the time I lived with my aunt. I got to see my older brother and he rode the rides with me, it was great. That was a great vacation and we were staying  near San Diego so Disney Land was over an hour away, but we had a ball and there is so much to do.

There are so many places I would love to travel to with Bill and I’m hoping the economy will improve and hopefully he will retire soon. Our vacations together have been few so I’m looking forward and planning just encase. Sometimes I get a little envious when I see some people in my family taking all these great vacations and I want to be able to travel like I did when I was younger, but I want to do it with Bill and of course I really don’t care that much about amusement parks and I don’t want to take my grandkids.

My sister Betty and grandkids go to Disney World in Florida every year and they love it. I have never been to Disney World even though I lived in Florida for awhile. Since Bill isn’t really into theme parks that’s probably one destination that we will miss out on, but I still like getting the special travel deals to see what’s available. Bill has bad memories of flying do to the war so we’ll probably get an RV and trailer for the bike, sounds like fun to me.
