It’s been a while since I have had travel on the mind, but a good friend is settling this weekend on her new beach house and it triggered a little pre-planning for the upcoming year.
We have decided to take an every other year approach to our foreign travel so for now we are focused on some local vacations. We’ll circle back around our 2021 thoughts shortly. I need to save up the travel funds again for that!
Obviously the beach house with our friends is on the list for this year. I am all up for some sand beneath my toes and seafood for days. I think this year we’d like to get in some deep sea fishing and some surf time. The kids have always wanted to try surfing.
But let’s talk about my latest intrigue and where I would love to get feedback from other travelers for a potential adult trip. The Yurt. What is a Yurt? I am going to let someone else’s fingers explain that first. What is a Yurt?
My coworker takes off to these every so often for some decompression time. I am sort of enticed at the thought of going off the grid in this mini hideaway for several days of silence and some outdoor adventure.
The question now becomes location. I have had the Pacific Crest Trail pop into mind several times. I had read Wild a few years back, and I just completed a documentary on the trail on amazon Prime Video last week. I don’t have the time nor the hips for a full trail hike, but I imagine it’s not hard to find some beautiful locations along the trail with some Yurts. I would be curious to get opinions on some of your favorite Yurts out there across the United States.
My other option, and maybe it’s the cold, is to just hop a plane to the Virgin Islands. Who knows, but it’s time to begin planning!
As for our next overseas trip, it’s been narrowed down to Italy, Iceland or Czech. I am sure those who know me well have a good idea on how this one will end. Planning for that trip will start middle of the year.
