1. What was your favorite childhood vacation?
I have a horrible memory but I think I'd have to go with my trip with my Aunt and Grandma to Disney. It was just a "Girls Only" trip. I remember riding the "Tower of Terror" with my grandma because when your GRANDMA is okay with the scary ride, how can you not be?
I also remember a group of youths running through the park and bumping into my grandma, knocking her down. Disney scooped her up pretty quick and whisked her to their medical station, backstage. Her head was bleeding pretty bad and the doctor was telling her she needed stitches. My grandma grumbled about it and my Aunt said "I can see your skull! You want me to reach in there and knock on it!" and then she relented to a trip to the local hospital.
And then I was SWORN TO SECRECY when we called to check in with my parents and grandpa that night. Don't mention the stitches or they will freak out LOL. I'm sure they found out after we got back, though I don't remember the reveal.
2. What is your dream vacation?
Right now, at this moment, a trip to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. I watched all the coverage last week and I am dying to visit. I know I should wait though - only 1 of the 2 rides are even open! - but I can't wait to experience it. I feel like I will probably cry. I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan but that park was overwhelming in its awesomeness so I feel like with my Star Wars fandom level as high as it is, I might cry.
3. If you could take a trip around the world, what locations would you be sure to include?
JAPAN, then I want to go back to Australia, for sure. New Zealand for some Lord of the Rings sightseeing, I'd take Tim back to Alaska because he spent his younger years there, I'd love to visit Spain and France, Italy, and it might be cool to pop in to Ireland and Lithuania for family roots reasons. If Russia wasn't such a mess, I would go there. I'm pretty open to going places, if it is safe. That is the biggest thing for me. I'd feel weird going to countries where people's lives are in turmoil and showing up as a tourist.
4. Do you prefer vacations to new destinations, to familiar destinations, or a mix?
A mix. I like to go exploring and I don't mind going to someplace I have been before but have not full explored. Or someplace like Universal or Disney parks because the magic just takes me over.
5. What activities would you plan for a two week staycation?
Mostly probably video games. LOL. I don't think I could do a two week staycation, that's a LONG TIME to stay at home. Maybe 1 week of being a homebody and then a week of daily excursions to local attractions like state and national parks. That is one of the things I love about Maryland - there's parks and historical sites just lying around.
