My Most Favorite Vacation

How do you choose a favorite vacation?  For me, it's not so easy.  Every trip I go on is my favorite, whether it be a family vacation, getaway with my hubbie, a girl friend's getaway, mission trip, or what I call a "work trip".  I love them ALL, for different reasons.

I would rather travel than anything else.  I'm not crazy about accumulating more "stuff".  While having a bigger house would have it's advantages, I don't really NEED that.  A car is just a necessity to me, I don't have to have the newest, best one out there.  I would rather come to the end of my life and have created incredible memories with my family and friends as opposed to having a bunch of stuff that has to be divvied out to my kids.  I would rather enrich my kids' lives by providing them with the opportunity to see more than what lies between Gatlinburg, TN and Gulf Shores, AL, which is all that many children their age have seen.

So... what are my most favorite trips???  Every single one I've been on.  Although some trips may have had some mishaps, I've NEVER had a bad one!!!  And it's not always the destination, the ship, or the resort that makes the vacation so wonderful.  It's spending time with the people I care about, getting to know new friends, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.  "Stuff" doesn't last a lifetime.
