Today it is hot...

And I wish I was here...

Where would you go?

As we were sitting around this weekend, dreaming of lottery wins, we discussed the question of what 3 vacations we would like to take if we had no shortage of time and money.

Jacob is perfectly happy at home so he doesn’t want to go anywhere, Steve came up with a couple of ideas and I had trouble narrowing it down to a list of three. If I had no shortage of time and money I like to think I would travel to many places.

If I have to narrow it down to three, here is what comes to mind.

One trip would be to see a new city, like Chicago.

Or New York

Another trip would be on a cruise to Alaska or the Panama Canal. I’ve never been on a cruise and who wouldn’t want to be as happy as this couple.

And I can’t have a top spots vacation list without some consideration to Disney. I’d love to spend a week at the Wilderness Lodge at Christmas. I miss this lobby and it would be beautifully decorated.

But if time and money is no object I should add a second week to my trip so I can stay at the Grand Floridian.

But we did enjoy our stay near Epcot, so perhaps I should add a third week at the Yacht Club.

And if I am spending my leisure time in Florida, I better make it a solid month so I can head down to Fort Myers with some friends and dip my toes in the ocean.

What 3 vacations would you take if time and money weren’t an issue?

Confessions of a Disney Addict

There are three sides to my personality. There is work Janet who tries to be professional in the corporate world; at home Janet who enjoys staying at home, being with friends and making things; and there is Disney Janet – the part that is obsessed with going on Disney vacations. I try to keep Disney Janet separate from the rest of my life, but in this case I will make an exception and show my blog readers the Disney side of my personality.

Over the years I have been to Walt Disney World six times. I love going to Disney because they have the best customer service. They make going on vacation as easy as possible and I find it is a great place to escape to.

As I plan my Disney vacations the most valuable resource I have found is the DisBoards. This is an online community where you can find answers to any Disney question you could dream up.


The people on the DisBoards know everything and I know we have saved thousands of dollars by following their advice. We have learned the best places to stay, the best prices to pay, and the best tips and tricks to maximize our fun and enjoyment. As a way of saying thanks to the DisBoards, and pay some good forward, I will be writing a trip report to share my experiences, tips and tricks with others on the boards.


If you wish to read my trip report you can follow along at http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2900213. Fair warning, I will be writing the report using DisBoard speak. There will be acronyms and other inside jokes that will be amusing to those that frequent the DisBoards, but will make me seem like a lunatic to those of you who don’t.


Unfortunately, writing a trip report can take a lot of time so there may be fewer or shorter posts on this blog while my trip report continues, but I will try to manage both and continue to give you updates to keep your interest here in the meantime.

Here is a picture of my waiting for our 2010 Disney trip to begin.
