Vacation Bug

If you happen to read my blog, then you probably know that I LOVE vacations.  I would be a professional vacationer if that were an option.  Maybe I could scope out all the good vacation spots and then tell other people about them.  That's a real career option, right?

I haven't really been anywhere exciting since last fall, and I don't have anything planned in the near future.  So I am starting to get anxious for the next vacation adventure.  This is what I have on my list right now:
  • Alaska cruise (These seem to be so darn expensive! I'm on the lookout for good deals.)  
  • Colorado trip to visit Denver / Boulder / Colorado Springs, in order to scope out possible grad school options and maybe even future living options?
  • Seattle / Portland. I did this two years ago but this time I would get to visit one of my best friends!  I think I will opt for flying next time, though. That was an awfully long drive.
  • Tahoe... um, this is an hour away.  Will somebody please go snowboarding with me?!
  • Australia!  This is a little further away, and is probably contingent upon a friend moving there later this year so I have a built-in tour guide. But definitely a future must-see destination!
I should point out that I am extremely lucky to live in one of the best places in the world - California.  If I ever get off my lazy behind (thanks, job) then I know there is so much to do in this state without having to go too far.  I am grateful just about every day to live somewhere so pretty and exciting in itself.  

On a completely unrelated note, I have started going to Zumba classes when I can.  It's kind of fun and awesome, even if I do look ridiculous sometimes.  My classmates mostly consist of old ladies, so at least the intimidation factor is low.
