Travel Plans

When I was young, I dreamed of traveling the world each summer on my break from teaching. Needless to say, that has not happened. I had two children and my direction in life took a turn. We usually vacationed at the Jersey shore each summer except for one summer when we went to New York state and toured the entire state. My favorite part was Niagara Falls. We were together for two weeks and we still talk about this vacation. Another favorite was when we went to Cape May together. It's my favorite vacation spot in New Jersey. I love the victorian houses, the shops, and the beach. You can see the sunrise and sunset there because it is a peninsula and surrounded by water.

Before we had children, my husband and I vacationed in Hawaii for two weeks. My husband loved it so much that he wanted to move there. I had to convince him that our family was 8 hours away by plane and that we had jobs to go back to. Well we ended back in New Jersey. We moved 7 miles from our hometown five years ago, and I told him that I was not moving again until we retire.

We plan to travel in a couple of years when our children are out of college. We started a vacation fund and hopefully we will make it a reality. We want to go to Europe and see where our ancestors lived. Everyone has told us to go to Italy. I always wanted to go to England and Greece. I have time to research various countries and tours. I'm hoping that the economy will improve and we will be able to see it all.
