anything but this (ten on tuesday!)

I love Ten on Tuesdays.

Just thought I'd share that tidbit!

Link up over at Roots and Rings! (with Chelsea. And everyone else =)


1. What is your dream vacation?


EVERYWHERE.
But no, seriously. I want to go everywhere. Right now, I'm really dreaming about Egypt and Australia, though.
2. What has been your favorite trip so far in your life?

I have really enjoyed many trips I've taken. My graduation (from high school) trip to Ireland is one of my faves, but I also really liked the trip Nate and I took to Aruba when we first started dating. Oh yeah, and the 5-month road trip I took a year ago!

Aruba!

3. If you and one of your best friends could go anywhere in the world for one week, where would it be and why?

I'm going to not answer this like it's Nate, and choose one of my other BFFs. Like...Jess. We'd probably go to Japan. (Ok, Nate, you can come, too.)


4. Have you ever booked a trip using an online deal? How did it go?

Mmm..if you count getting "discounts" on hotels and airfare because you buy it off Expedia/Orbitz/etc. then yes? But I haven't specifically gone to a place because of the vacation package. We did come pretty close to doing an Alaska cruise because of that, though...
5. What’s your favorite thing to do while you’re on vacation?

I love just about anything: eating, tours, listening to local music, just walking around and taking pictures. I think being in new places is so much fun. I guess that's why I move around so much.
6. Have you ever missed an opportunity to take a trip that you regret?

Mmmm...no? Not yet, anyway.
7. You travel far away from home and get stranded with no way to buy anything, what’s the one thing you can’t live without?

Literally? Sunscreen. Otherwise I might very well die from sun poisoning...or have to sit inside all day. And that's no fun. (I'm assuming basic needs are available at this mystery destination...)

8. What’s one of your favorite traveling memories?

Hiking The Wave in Arizona. Ok, maybe not the actual hiking part, but actually walking into the formation after walking across three miles of desert is pretty. freakin. cool.

Also (just because I can't choose one,) getting to hold birds of prey while getting a falconry demonstration at Ashford Castle in Ireland. I think that's one of my dream jobs, working with raptors.
9. All included resort or backpacking? Why?

All inclusive. Let's drink, y'all!
10. Are you more of a lie on the beach kind of person on vacation, or do you prefer to see the sights?
 
I prefer a little of both, but mostly see the sights. Unless I'm sunburned from already seeing the sights. Then all I want to do is sleep. (I get sunburned often, can you tell?)
