Well, well well......the dust has finally settled and....
(from my ABD's Spirit of America Adventure; Sept 2009)
It has been quite a challenge for me to find a vacation to would peak my interest......
For example, I have been wanting to experience a Disney park overseas but I am finding out that they are if you will, "Owned and Operated" and not "franchised" so that's out......
I have looked at http://www.gocollette.com/Cowboy Country........
Nope --- not yet aleast.
I have looked at http://www.gocollette.com/American Music Cities...
NO -
From my earlier trip report, you can see starting around page 3 or 5 that I have been running through Travel Agent after travel agent who from some silly reason, don't know what they are doing........
and that had me shall we say quite ticked and not too happy as I really have a strong desire to see a DISney park overseas....
Then, just by accident, I chanced across https://www.trafalgar.com/ and here is where something caught my eye....
Yes, I have been to Washington DC, Colonial Philly, etc before But through this Vendor, there are some additional things I haven't seen before - such as.....
SIGHTSEEING HIGHLIGHTS
....such as Gettyburg, National Military Park, Jamestown, Monticello and I plan on having a pre day in Washington D.C. so look out for Yours Truely to do experience some more on my Pre-day (am thinking of an evening river cruise and then on my day of arrival, head out on an Viator.com activity that will take me out all day .....
** this is what I am thinking of doing via Viator.com**
,,,,,just to arrive back in time for the Welcome tour group Dinner) -
And with that,
I took the plunge on this very easy, "click of the mouse, pay and that's it" vacation adventure that will be started in September.
Activities before that that I will be posting on this TR will be from my days at Scarborough Faire (Waxahachie, Tx)
in April followed by a celebrations of sorts down at the Great Wolfe Lodge (May).....details forthcoming I promise.
Speaking of partying.....
I have taken off 2/5 inches off my waistline SO FAR in preperation for my upcoming Nawlins adventure that's now beginning to creep up on me.
WHATS THAT?
What about my DISneyland Paris adventure??
Well....
I have decided to put it off my a while......and pick it back up again in about 2 or 3 years (good to hear DISneyland Paris is now being bought by the DISney Corp)
SO with that, let me hop back on over to my New Orleans trip report......
follow me if ya want on my weigh loss adventures -
Both Ladybug and I will be stepping on the scales for the first time Friday.....
