Rainy Spain
Travellin'
We just got back from London not long ago and we're already planning our next trip for this summer. Two weeks with my parents in Northern Italy, Austria, Germany and Switzerland. If you haven't noticed we love to travel.
We're spontaneous when it comes to most things. Sometimes our friends get frustrated with us when they ask us our plans for the weekend or the next day and our answer is always...We don't know. Our brains don't work that far ahead! I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing.
For now, we have no need to save money for the future. We probably should, but I guess everyone always has to learn the hard way. We live month to month. Our way of looking at it is...we have money left over this month?...we have a three day weekend?...let's spend it and go somewhere! We don't travel in luxury by any means. There's just something about eating a ham sandwich with a can of Coke in the dirt, and sleeping in a musty, mildewy hostal that I love. Call me crazy.
I know this post sounds like we go somewhere every weekend, but we don't...our wallets aren't big enough. We're lucky if we can take two trips a year. Travelling is just a priority right now. We want to see all that we can while we can.
This past summer we planned a cross country camping trip of Spain at 12 midnight the night before we left. Our trip to London was planned 2 days before we left. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bragging about our impulsive actions at all. Most of the time I think we have a few screws loose! We're just not keen on planning in advance. Or maybe we're procrastinators...I don't know. It works for us, though. However, when we travel with my parents (no need to mention ages :))we can't be quite as risky as we normally are. So we've started planning now...3 months in advance.
I'll let you know how this one goes.

nothin beats travellin. and judgin by your mom's post here, it seems that you're tight with your family as well. you're extremely lucky!
Sounds great! I simply love travelling and I'm totally down that there's not time this summer to go on a holiday trip. But then again I'll be on Sicily for a few weeks and in Scotland, both during my summer break - only it will be for working. But does that matter? Not really, both are still new destinations for me and I bet there's a lot to see :)
