Wanderin’ heart
Posted on Monday, August 15th, 2011 at 9:19 pmI recently returned from almost 2 weeks in Russia. It was amazing; I had such an incredible time. I loved seeing all of these places I’ve read about. It was fabulous cruising down the rivers and lakes and seeing the towns and the churches with onion domes. And I can’t describe what it was like to stand in Red Square and take a tour of the Kremlin.
It was hard to come back. I appreciated being home, of course, but it really just made me want to travel. I was surrounded by retirees who spend their time traveling; now that’s all I want to be doing. So now I’m spending my time figuring out where to go next:
Philadelphia
Charleston
Chicago
Cooperstown
London
Oxford
Ireland
Kyrgyzstan
Spring training
The only problem is that even the mini-breaks have the potential the become weeklong. Screw it–I just need a trip to somewhere for a weekend to lay by a pool and read.
I’m thinking it’s time to start another SmartyPig account.
How does Philadelphia even make that list? (Also, it’s not like you can’t take a day/weekend trip to Philadelphia anytime you like, thanks to Amtrak…)
Kyrgyzstan! Kyrgyzstan! Kyrgyzstan! (you can also add Kazakhstan to the list, because that’s where you’ll probably fly to!)
