I'm a travel-ing man, done a lot of traveling.... all over the world

I love to travel... even if it puts me in debt :-) Well, maybe not that much.

We're taking the kids to Newfoundland in September for two weeks. I've never been before, but my wife's cousin is getting married so we thought it would be a good excuse to go out there.

We also have some good friends who moved out there last year that we're dying to see, so it should be lots of fun.

And we're already planning for a January trip to the Bahamas.

Other than the Bahamas, I'm trying to plan to visit places I've never been before. In 2010, we're hoping to go out west to Calgary, Banff and out to Vancouver.

So what is your next dream trip? Do you like to travel?

I love to travel too. Usually I work seeing places in with going to Caps road games during hockey season. We saw Boston in March. I guess our next big trip will be our honeymoon in May. I don't know where yet though.
Jason was in Banff in May and he really liked it. He took some gorgeous pictures.

I love to travel. Love it. The places I've been are a big part of who I am.

My next dream trip is a relax-a-thon, but I don't imagine that it will be happening any time soon.

I love going places I've never been, but I'm always torn because I also love to take people to my favorite places. Mr. Fro hadn't traveled as extensively as I have before we got married, so many of our trips together have been places that I've already been. Still, we try to include places I haven't been along with places I have when we travel. For example when we went down-under we went to Sydney and Brisbane (which I've done before) but also to Auckland (where I'd previously only spent a few hours in an airport and bought a pair of socks.)

I always think of you as a travel-lover. It's part of your exotic Canadian appeal. :-)

I love to travel to new places. I like the comfortable feeling of returning to favorite spots, but there's SOOOO much I haven't seen of this world that I hate purposely going to the same place twice.

My wife loves Cuba (we went twice -- once for our honeymoon, and then again about 5 years ago when she won a trip on a radio contest). She would prefer to go there every year.

Like Kim, I just think there's so much of the world out there to see that I want to take every opportunity to soak in a different place..

I loooove stepping outside my comfort zone. Even though Hawaii so far is my favorite I really love Europe. I love the feel. The town centers, the lifestyle, the cultures.

I really enjoyed Moracco too. Something very cool about seeing words in Arabic everywhere. It's not like Germany or Spain where the signs are in the alphabet we are used to. Just very exotic.

My favorite thing about traveling? 2 things...how the word "sundries" comes up. Such a vacationy sound! I also love the night before you go. Such anticipation and rushing around!

I never like coming home. Never did. I crave change. I wish we had enough money to take big vacations a year. I would do one vacation somewhere I've never been, one to return to a favorite spot.

Some hopeful trips in the near future...rent RV and cross country, any Europe trip-Ireland, Italy, Scotland or France, hopefully some tropical trip. All with kids.

Smart man to go to Newfoundland in September and not for your January trip.

I'd like to go to Greece, the Galapagos Islands, and back to Israel. Mr. Puffy hasn't seen much of Europe so we want to go to Europe, too.

I always wanted to go to Newfoundland when I lived in Canada but we never made it.

Tom and I planned a trip to Costa Rica in 2002 but then never took it. I still really want to do that.

I love Banff! Tom and I used to go early every June when it was warm enough to enjoy camping & hiking but the Canadian schools hadn't let out yet so the best place weren't shoulder-to-shoulder yet - which can happen in both Banff and Lake Louise. I always like the illusion that I'm in a sparsely populated wilderness, not the Great Canadian Camp-Out Zone.

I think our next planned trip will be to drive down to Tucson in early February. (We plan to do some driving vacations while gas is still cheap, lol.)

Zombs? Hawaii is my favorite place too. I could go there twice a year and never get tired of it.
