I have been working steadily for the last 3 or so years without a real break. The harsh Summer of 2011 was specially cruel to my home’s foundation. Even before the Summer began I knew what was coming and the high price I would have to pay. So the Winter of 2011/2012 was spent watching tunnels sprout under my home and watching my bank account take a sizable dent.
However I think (fingers crossed) that I am finally ready for a vacation this Fall. Most people would advise going now for a typical Summer vacation but I have never been a fan of hot weather vacations. My most favored vacations have always been to cooler climes so I think I am going North once again.
What is not on the agenda? Big cities and bright lights. Not a fan of them so no Big apple, or Vegas, or Hollywood hills or anything like that. I can go inside the loop if I want to see a big city. I would in the future like to tour New York but not this trip. I am also going to limit my driving. Normally I wouldn’t mind but this time I want more time to relax.
New England would be good but I’ve been there before. The Pacific Northwest is good but I’m not too well informed about it. Canada or Europe? Not this trip.
I have been seriously considering the Adirondack mountains in upstate New York. Close to what I know but still new. Some great resorts, some small bed and breakfast type places too.
In particular is the Sagamore resort on Lake George. A place that one can spend a day relaxing but also full of local hiking destinations.
Maybe a quick trip up to Niagara to check out the falls, search for Champ at Lake Champlain, and plenty of chances to check out the changing foliage in the cooling days of October.
Exciting to think of and plan for. Now I just need to make it happen and earn it.
Where would you go to vacation?
