Where to go

Every year in January I print out a 12 month calendar and start plotting my travel plans for the upcoming year.  I am trying to figure out what my BIG trip this year will be.  I have lots of travel plans already, things I will talk about as they happen this year.  I am going through a list of places from  Northern Arizona to Europe. I have to elicit the help of my potential travel buddies and see what they are up for.  I'm booked up until end of summer, so I guess it's a fall adventure and maybe something for winter. For the first time I am considering going away over the Christmas Holidays. My children are all over the country, we were all together in 2016, so that won't happen again for 2017; too many miles between us.   One year we were all together in Germany for Christmas!  What an amazing time and place to be for Christmas. I won't ever forget it. Many countries actually still observe the Holiday the way it was meant to be. Businesses are closed Christmas eve, Christmas Day and many even the day after. I remember walking around the town where my daughter lived in a new fallen snow, and it being so peaceful and quiet. Serenity, I like to find that when I travel.  Hmm so many things to think about.
