1. How old were you when you first travelled by yourself?
18
2. Where's the furthest place you've travelled to?
Okinawa (not by myself), TX (by myself). I wasn't sure which one you were asking for :)
3. Do you usually take one annual BIG vacation, or several short ones?
One or two short inexpensive ones.
4. Any travel plans coming up soon?
July we are going to the beach in FL
5. What's going on this weekend?
Friday evening DD has a birthday party to go to (I go with her) , Saturday I'll be grocery shopping (it's an all day event..I have to go to a few different places), and Sunday is a full day at church because we have our "new member" class to go to as well as the regular services. I would *rather* run off somewhere peaceful with DH for a mini vacation! LOL

1. How old were you when you first travelled by yourself? I was in seventh grade when I went to camp for the first time, about 13yo I guess. I was 18 when I first traveled by air home from college for Christmas break.
2. Where's the furthest place you've travelled to? I think it would be Toronto.
3. Do you usually take one annual BIG vacation, or several short ones? SO and I take a night away trips sometimes, but I take a week off once a year too.
4. Any travel plans coming up soon? Our annual family camping trip is coming up in August. I start getting excited about it as soon as I make the reservations. I absolutely love that time in up north in the woods and on one of the Great Lakes every year. We may be taking a day trip to Frankenmuth ( a German style "village" with shopping and these great, all you can eat family style chicken dinners) next weekend.
5. What's going on this weekend? Hopefully some peace and quiet. I have had two stressful job interviews in the last two days, a typing/grammar/spelling test, and I had to go for a drug test too-so I hope that means I'll get the job. But I just plan to go to HKD tonight then out to a quiet dinner with SO then HKD tomorrow afternoon and some cleaning around my place other than that. I think we're going to dinner with some friends from class after church on Sunday.
Have a good weekend everyone.

1. How old were you when you first travelled by yourself?
I think I was about 13 I took the train to Calgary (only 2 or 3 hours though!).

I've travelled to England and Hawaii as a child, and to Orlando and New Orleans as an adult.
3. Do you usually take one annual BIG vacation, or several short ones?
I get three weeks vacation, so usually I'll take one week in August, and one week in July and spread the other one out over the year.
4. Any travel plans coming up soon?
My parents bought a condo in Kimberly BC this year, so we will head out there in July, and I hope to get to the mountains for some hostelling again this year, but not until summer.
5. What's going on this weekend?
My mom and Aunt are in town for a political convention so I'm attending a couple of events Friday and Saturday night, my walking clinic on Saturday morning, and then Brunch on Sunday.
1. How old were you when you first travelled by yourself? 20, I had my 18 month old son but first time flying with a baby is almsot worse than being my yourself. lol
2. Where's the furthest place you've travelled to? I rode a bus from NY city to Lawton OK, something like 36 hours, 6 months pregnant with my in-laws. This is hell no one should have to go through!!

1. How old were you when you first travelled by yourself?
Around the age of 7, I went over to meet my friend and her family over in Spain, from Ireland.
2. Where's the furthest place you've travelled to?
While living in Ireland we took a vacation over to India when I was about 8, and California when I was about 9 or 10. Never made it all the way to Australia- some day!!
3. Do you usually take one annual BIG vacation, or several short ones?
Usually just one big one, but if for some reason there's no big trip planned I will try and get a few days here and there- here and there ;-)
4. Any travel plans coming up soon?
I'll be heading to the homeland in June :-)
Not only that though -while there myself and my folks will go to Spain, they have an apartment there that I have yet to see. Friends from here (Mom and daughter) may come to Ireland when I'm back from Spain, if they do we'll do some touring while there, and on the way back stop in New York for a few days. Gotta start watchin' that budget!!
5. What's going on this weekend?
Meeting Bunny this evening for a *FUN* night- we used to have these quite regularly, but haven't in a long time, so I'm looking forward to it. Plus I do hope to see the "24-year-old flu" LOL

~In the past it was a big vacation for dh and I and several short ones with the kids. Now that the kids are a bit older we are going to flip it. One big trip with the kids and a couple of smaller ones only dh and I. We plan on taking a couple of smaller ones with the kids too. Dh gets 8 weeks of paid vacation a year.
