What is your dream destination? If money and time were of no issue, and you had a magic wand to send you anywhere in the world, where would you go? What would your Ideal Trip look like?

A Bite of the Big Apple

I just booked my next trip! I am off to New York City in the early fall. I am already looking forward to the week's activities in NYC. Researching a destination and the "best of" that destination are part of the fun for me, long before the trip begins. The list of must-see sites in New York is already long and growing daily. My first steps in planning the trip: 1. Set a reasonable itinerary (planning the major sights to see on specific days when lines are shorter and crowds are minimized); 2. Make reservations to maximize efficiency and ensure availability (booking Broadway theater tickets and Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty tour tickets in advance); and, 3. Collect all of the details into one helpful document (including flight information, hotel reservation, tour times, addresses, subway lines, etc.). Planning the details early helps me just relax and go with the flow once I get there. I am excited to return to New York City and plan to take a big bite out of the Big Apple while I am there.

Are you looking for travel ideas, something fun to do this weekend, a unique activity at your next destination, an easy way to meet locals in a particular city, or just want to find travel inspiration? Consider joining a Meetup group somewhere new at Meetup.com. There are more than 100,000 Meetup groups to choose from around the world.

What Travel Means to Me

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You
