Welcome to A2K mistyrain :-)
I hear ya! I feel the same way ;-)
mistyrain, WELCOME to A2K. Please share with us your "vacations at home." c.i.
I tell ya, I loved British Columbia! The entire trip North from Seattle was awsome. But, Vancouver knocked my sox off and the landscape continued to drop my jaw as far as we went (whistler). I took 'drivinbg' pix and hope they come out well enough to share. Anyway, this side of the country has snow capped mountains nearly abutting the Pacific ocean. There are clefts in the mountains that sink well into the sea. It's colder than a trip south but the traffic coming back to Portland was LIGHT!
new here from Shanghai China.
no doubt that my choice belongs to seaside.
oh it's my dreaming vacation place.
i was born in Shanghai which is a city of economics and trade,so i have little chance to see the mountain, the seaside.
but i think my dream will come true.
hi, koolplay ! came from the other side of the world (hamburg/germany) to the shores of lake ontario/canada 47 years ago. so i traded living next to the elbe-river and close to the north-sea for living close to lake ontario(5minute drive or 15 minute walk). not a bad trade i think. while we spend most of the summertime in our garden we love going down to the lakefront in the evening to catch the cool breeze, and if it's friday evening we can also listen to the COOL jazz of live big band jazz. now that's what i call living. welcome to able2know, koolplay; hope you'll enjoy the IDEA-EXCHANGE. hamburger
Hello, guys~~~
What you described is really beautiful, but not everyone could have that ease, you are lucky enough to have all these!
Though I am looking forward to visiting the forest, sitting at the lake and listening to jazz at night as well, yet I think I still belong to city, I can't get rid of the charm of city. I like the pace of living in metropolis and being busy.
It's so nice to meet you, hamburger~~!
both ivan and i are urban citizen.what encircles us is just the magnificent and majestic architecture such as the oriental TV tower,
the Jinmao mansion which represent the height of Shanghai city.
so what you have said is just in our dreams.so i am a guy of addicting daydreams.(kidding!)
but hamburger,i love your life style,life surroundings.let's share,ok?
I would prefer a tour packages that includes site view, beach travel and some historical visit all together in a same package. I think that will be a best option where you will not get bored of of seeing same thing all around your tour. There are some tour organizers like
http://www.holidayclick.co.uk/ that offers cheap tour packages for spain, egypt, cuba, turkey and many other destinations in the world.
Cities are the perfect cultural destinations. Those vacations have been my favorite.
