Travel Life
I know someone who converted a 2 car garage into a little one bedroom place for vacations in Brookings. It’s a lovely town.
Road tripping to Brooking, Oregon to look at a cabin for purchase as a vacation home and rental when not using it.
Travel safely Cindy ✈️💛

Interesting and unfortunate feedback about Stingray City in Grand Cayman. We have been there twice - 1st time was about 17 years ago. We had a pretty small group with a private/local tour guide. I’m not sure how we booked it but we had a great time. Saw tons of stingrays, held one, fed them and pet several of them. I think it has a lot to do with the guide you have because the 2nd time we went the experience was much different. We didn’t get very intament with the rays and we were around a few large groups. Our group was also larger than the first time. We have had much different experiences when we book the same excursion twice in the past. Unfortunately, a lot comes down to luck.
my ultimate road trip is driving the original Route 66. Santa Monica to Chicago
Love it!!!! Have fun
That sounds like a fun trip
just got prices on a New England/Canada cruise for October 2027. looks very interesting
I love Joshua tree but it might be a bit toasty in June
Anyone in here spend any time at Joshua Tree? I’ve been once but just for one day. I’m heading there for a bachelorette party in June!!
@Elizabeth, sorry your trip got cancelled! 😞
O well. I got to work on the yard Instead
Aw darn!
Phooey. No trip. My brother got sick. Maybe in june
Traveling to capitola tomorrow!! Santa cruz here we come!
This past week I was in Miami Beach for the first time for work. My hotel was a block from the beach and spent each morning and night just watching and listening to the waves. I think I found my new Zen.
Cruise to Belize!
Just got back from a cruise to Grand Cayman and Belize. Tip of the day, if you go to Grand Cayman, do not fall for the hype of going to Stingray City. It is crowded with boats and tons of people, and not as many stingray as you see in Google photos. The water was pretty choppy the day we were there, so maybe that had something to do with the lack of stingray, but it was highly disappointing.
Cruise to Belize. I didn't take a lot of pics, not sure why... but we had a great time! The Fabulous Thunderbirds (Google them, kids!) were one part of our entertainment onboard!!
Please stay safe everyone and check before you leave on any trips to Mexico. 🙏 I hope everyone in Mexico is okay.
I’m in Auburn. Yeah probably the Bahamas would be closest. Any favorite islands?
Love the bahamas. Been there 4 times
Where is home base for you Sandy? The only tropical places I have been are the two you mentioned, plus Fiji but that’s a very long flight. Is Bahamas too far from you? I’ve always heard wonderful things!
Hi everyone. What would be your recommendations for a tropical island not Hawaii or Mexico keeping in mind not a terribly long flight, natural beauty, and safety? Thanks 😊
Hey Scottie! This group is for those who love to travel & share where they’ve been! Traveling to the coast or to another country, there’s no rules on how far from home :)
How far from home is travel?
????? Can someone define what is technically travel for this group?
Not sure Julie. Have you tried the Group Search Engine?
Is there an Airport Lounge subchat or main chat?
Perfect shot with the “Sunset Over Dogs” 🩵
A couple of my favorites from last weekends trip to Dumont Sand Dunes.
@Julie, thanks for the tip!
For those with an Alaskan cruise on your bucket list: Make sure you book one with glaciers. “The Inside Passage” is not a glacier. We thought our cruise included some but found out the hard way. We ended up taking a tour to a glacier because “the inside passage” isn’t one.
I would have to say it is a tie between a trip to New Zealand to visit my aunt and uncle. I spent 3 weeks there (before the earth quakes) and about 2.5 weeks in Sydney on the way back. This was in 2001. The other was a 14 day cruise that included going through both sets of locs of Panama Canal. I’ve been on several Alaskan Cruises and the Panama Canal cruise is a step above. It is amazing on another level. Maybe the fact that they were man made. Humans came up with the idea and executed it, without the “do it for you” technology we have today. I’ll admit, I am kind of a geek about that type of stuff😆 We also had some amazing excursions on that trip.
My husband's big vacation wish is also an Alaskan cruise. The people I know who have gone always bring back the most amazing pictures.
Love that. Great memories
The biggest trip I went on was with my recently departed wife, before we were married, in 1982. We took a trip around the country to decide where we were going to live. So many memories! We started out from St. Pete, FL and went up the eastern seaboard to New York (Upstate, not THE City), then across the northern route to the west coast, down through CA, then back to FL across the southern route. I could easily write a book on the memories of that trip alone. It took us about a month and a half, so it was more of a leisurely, exploratory trip. If we saw something that piqued our interest we detoured to check it out. By the end, we narrowed it down to three places, but that’s a story for another day. 🩵 This country we live in is absolutely filled with amazing places and people and history! While I’ve seen a LOT of this country, there’s still many states I have not yet visited. I plan to change that. And include many other countries as well. Have fun traveling 🩵
I hope to go on an Alaska cruise soon. Finally got my passport, so I’m looking forward to some traveling.
It was truly amazing. And then to watch bald eagles.
One day I will go! I like the beautiful scenery.
