It's Only the Beginning

A wise person once said that you can't end one vacation without beginning to plan the next one.

Now, I didn't have the honor of attending the Virginia Beach trips, but I could see the substantial impact vacationing had on my friends, and I wanted to be a part of it. After going through the rigors of organizing the first trip to OBX and seeing our plans come to fruition, I was immediately hooked.

Since then, vacationing has become a kind of drug. Its high lasting a week and then plummeting into 51 weeks of withdrawal (though we might take some shorter trips to tide us over). The planning and scoping out of new places to stay only teases us, but in the same breath gives us hope for what the future may bring.

We're still working out the kinks in our trip planning system and trying to find ways to resolve the problems we seem to face each year(i.e. reliable people to join us and Hurricane Season) but we're still going to try new things and broaden our locations target because there is just so much to see. At the current point in our lives we can only afford to take one really nice vacation a year (maybe throw in a long weekend trip or two), but we're working on fixing that (come on Power Ball). Nonetheless, we're still going to try to see as much as we can, as often as we can because sometimes the short trips can be just as rewarding as the longer ones.

So, as we continue to look towards the future and new places to go, and reminisce of trips past, hopefully you will be inspired to begin your own travels, or, if you're cool enough, join us in ours.
