We haven’t traveled yet in 2014 but I hope this will change
soon. My mind is always making plans for new destinations to visit and with the spring and summer
coming I hope my plans can come to realization. Here is what is next for us:
In April we are going to go on a one day trip to Skagit
Valley in Washington State. Skagit Valley is famous in the Pacific Northwest
for its blooming fields of tulips located throughout the valley. It is the
perfect trip for the season and I am excited to “swim” in the tulip fields.
In May, for Victoria Day long weekend, we are going to do a
mini road trip to Oregon. I was never too keen on visiting Oregon and specifically
the city of Portland, but some recent articles I read and our friend’s stories have
convinced me that maybe Oregon in worth visiting. It is close to Vancouver and
it will be a cost effective trip as we won’t be buying plane tickets and
renting a car, and we also won’t be using our vacation days. We will be
exploring mainly the nature and the beaches.
And there comes June! I wanted to take the first two weeks as
a vacation but my husband surprised me unpleasantly telling me that his accounting exams fall on the
second week of June. So I took week one and three. The first week I will be
flying to Europe and visiting my home country for a week. Yes, only for a week.
I know it is a very short time and by the time I get used to the time
difference of 10 hours, I would have to leave, but I wanted to visit another
exciting destination and I didn’t want to take three weeks of vacation. I will
be flying with my daughter and I have a lot of anxiety about the long flight
and the two connections. I have travelled several times with her, but we were
never by ourselves, and that is what is worrying me. She can be very self-willed
and stubborn sometimes.

After I come back from Bulgaria, we are going to Mexico in
the third week of June! I am very excited about that and I am looking forward
to it! This can’t be said for my husband – he didn’t want to go there at all
and he thinks it is dangerous. I finally convinced him that we should go and
enjoy the hot weather, the beaches and the Mayan Ruins. We will be staying in a
luxurious hotel in Zona Hotelera in Cancun and I hope the weather will be
decent. I did my research and I know that June is the start of the rainy
season, but I am hopeful it won’t be raining every day.
