We attempted some minor pre-planning of a vacation yesterday. The pre-planning was yesterday, not the vacation. The thought is to take off right after Chris finishes her cardiac rehab and physical therapy and completes her next visits with the cardiologist and her PCP. That should get her covered with everything that needs checking up on. Kind of like a pre-road trip check-up for your car.
Right
now we are toying with the idea of leaving in early May for parts unknown (at
least unknown to us). We would
return sometime towards the end of that month if all goes as planned. Destination choices have been all over the
place. Literally … all over the place. Hawaii is pretty much off the table for right
now, although as soon as they fully open up the state, we plan to be all over
that one. We are also looking at a bit
of a Western excursion. Not too far
west, though. No California in our
sights. But the Grand
Canyon/Arizona/Utah area does loom large in our sights. The opposite direction has also been
garnering our interest, though. We have
never been down to the tip of Florida to the national park at the outermost
Florida Keys. On the plus side for both
of these areas is the fact that they seem to be opening up to tourists
again. Especially the Florida
connection. Then in the back of our
minds – way back right now because of Covid restrictions – is a trip north to
North Dakota (no particular reason … we’ve just never been) and then
over to Pennsylvania and north again to Vermont (again … never been to
Vermont). And we always keep another
trip to Alaska in our back pocket, just in case.
So
… where to go in May. Hmmm …
Psalms
27:4 says, “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell
in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the
Lord and to seek him in his temple.”
Father,
thank you for the chances we have had to travel. We would sure like to get back at it. Amen.
