Lately, Me and my children try to travel in and out of the country. Last month, was my first out of the country. We just went to Singapore. Just last week, we went to the beach in a far away town. We even traveled for around 12 hours in the car just to get back home. It's really nice feeling to spend vacation with your family. My children try to entertain me as I have just lost my husband last January and they don't want to see me sad all the time. My children always want to cheer me up so even though we are on a tight budget, they try their best to pay my travel expenses.
As I am thinking of our next travel vacation, I would also like to know where's your next travel destination? Where do you want to go if you have all the money, with no budget constraint? Where do you want to spend your next travel vacation?
I hope our next travel destination would be out of the country again. I just hope my kids have already save some money for our travels. Hehehe.

I already went there and it's really a nice place to visit. My children and I went on a tour there. We went to Victoria Peak, Disney Land and Ocean's Park. We spent 3 days there and one day in Shenzen, China. It's really cheap to shop in China than in Hongkong. Nevertheless, I also enjoyed my shopping in Hongkong. I shopped for a few souvenir items like ref magnets and t-shirts. I got to shop a lot of my clothes and bags in China.

i always wanted to go to Disneyland but since i can't yet, i am still saving for it. i have been dreaming about going there with my boyfriend that is why i have been trying a lot of ways to earn and save for our trip. i wanted to surprise him. but lately all we do is just argue and argue and fight and fight 
so i dunno where this leads us
i am sorry to hear about that. it really is hard lose someone we really love. try to focus more on your children, soon enough they'll be able to bring you to anywhere you wanna go. you still have them and you are family. i wish you happiness and love in your family. take care

I already went to Disneyland, Hongkong and it's really a nice place. I really enjoyed the fireworks at the end of the day. It's really amazing, don't miss it when you go there. In what specific country do you want to visit? There's also disneyland in Japan and in Florida. I hope you and your boyfriend would stop arguing. It's really a bad sign in a relationship if you both always argue. My advise is to compromise. When one is angry, don't let it flare up. Try to settle things as soon as possible.
Thank you for your condolences. True, it's really hard to lose someone that you plan to spend the rest of your life with. I'm really blessed with my children that they really support me when I'm down and I feel alone. Thank you and I also wish you all the happiness in your relationship. Take care.

I also want to go to europe one day. I know it's really expensive but all we really need is to save up. We need to stick with our budget so that we could reach our goal and go to europe one day. If ever I have the money, I would like to go their with my kids. Well, I hope the best for the both of us and hope we could pursue our dream vacation.

My next travel destination will be the same as my last one. I treated myself to a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida to celebrate my college graduation. Never did I imagine what that trip would set in store for me and the rest of my life. I enjoyed every moment of my week there and my friend and I immediately started discussing a return trip. After 6 months being home, starting a new job...I found that all I could think about was Florida and how beautiful and warm it was there. In November, during a rather nasty snow storm I decided thats it. I am moving to Florida...so that will be my next travel destination...and from there my roomie and I hope to hop on a cruise to the bahamas...After that? Who knows?

Wow! I already went to Disney Land in Hong Kong and I really enjoyed it there. It's my dream to go to Disney World, Florida because they say it's really nice to go there. It's better than any other disneyland in the world. I believe that you really enjoyed your stay in Disney World that you really want to go there again. I hope I can visit that too in the future. And after that a cruise to Bahamas, that's too expensive. I hope you have already save some money for your vacations.

Hi Luz..Sad to hear about your husband's demise. Lucky you since you have such amazing kids who take care of you. Me and my hubby have been planning a lot about vacation recently. He has been so busy with his work and me with my studies that it gets tough at times to manage a quality time for each other. We won't be going to any destination sometimes soon though. We are planning of taking two months break in November and go to New Zealand, Bangkok and then to India. Currently, we are tight on our budget too because we are buying a car soon, so there is very less hope that we will be travelling soon.
I really wanted to go for a Europe tour this June but the tickets are way too expensive at this time. We will be travelling within Australia but any international trip will have to wait. But yes, I'm very excited to visit the places we've planned for November.
I hope you have a good time during your next vacation!

Thanks for your sincere condolences. I'm really blessed to have them as my children. They are really taking care good of me and they try their best to cheer me up when I'm down. Wow, two months vacation would be really good to the both of you. It will liven up your marriage life. I heard that Bangkok is really nice place to go on shopping as clothes there are very cheap. Try to save first so that when you have your vacation, you won't be constraint with buying and spending.
My dream vacation is also to go on European tour. As you also said, it's really expensive and I really need to save a huge amount of money. Maybe 2 or 3 years from now, I hope to go there if I have already save up.
You live in Australia. I heard it's really a nice place to visit. I hope to also go there as I have relatives there. Take care and I also hope you enjoy your next vacation.

Maryland in June, if we make it. My daughter has been ill and in pain since the beginning of the year. We've gone to the same location every year in June since she was five.

In January this year I took my disabled three year old son and my one year old daughter to Colombia. We went to Cartagena De Indias and Santa Marta. We came home in February. I have looked at train fares up to Yorkshire and wanted to go in July however prices started going up. So I booked for us to go in June. I have found a guest house that has a ground floor room. My son is in a wheelchair and so we can not manage any steps. My son will love The Deep which has sharks and the steam railway at Pickering. I am really looking forward to going to Scarborough, Whitby and Robin Hood Bay. I would like to go to York as well which I went to after a friends wedding last time. Next year I will have another trip overseas. Perhaps it will be the Philippines for some island hopping and snorkeling. In hope so and I wish you happy traveling. I have been to Singapore three times and really like it there.

Good thing you always make time with your children making sure you go on vacation. I'm from the Philippines and it's a great choice when it comes to overseas destination. If you love nature trips and going to the beach, for sure you'll enjoy the place. You could try to go to Boracay, Palawan or Caramoan, Bicol. We have beautiful white sands. You could also go to Bohol for some nature trips and to see chocolate hills.

No plans yet, but just like you, I prefer going on to an overseas destinations. I have been to a few , annual holidays, and very much enjoyed. They were all so scenic, beautiful, and relaxing. It is always very interesting mingle and make friends with people of different cultures too.

Yes it's really nice to make friends with other nations but usually I've been shy with them. Usually, locals to that place make the move when making friends with me. It's also nice to know the history and culture of the place when you have to visit them. When I go to overseas destination, I usually visit one museum. I would like to know their historical background and linking that to their current culture. If not visiting a museum, I'll try to ask a local or sometime I try to research it after my visit.

Thank you for your condolences. I really am blessed to have wonderful and caring children. Wow, Italy! I also want to go there? What did you do there? What places did you visit. I hope someday I can have a European tour with my tour but I know I need to save a lot for that. Switzerland is also a great place to have a vacation. What do you want to do there? Why is it your dream vacation? I have never been there but seeing in the pictures I believe it's really a nice place.

The last time that we went any where was for a short break away and that was only an hours drive away to a beach resort that also had entertainment for the children, as well as for the adults.It was a great break away and we hope to do it all again very very soon as a family again.

Hi Luz 
My boyfriends daughter comes to visit us from England each August, here in Illinois. We always take her to Arkansas for the entire month. We love to visit, and soon it will be my new home. (another store, lol)..
We love going there to visit because there is so much outdoor activities we do while there, especially for free. Although you ask about if we had all the money, I would still opt to vacationing there simply because of the endless water activities during the so hot summer. Best part too is that we have family gatherings daily. It is so much fun to prepare daily the gatherings with them and enjoy some real family togetherness.
Maybe because I don't really have family here outside of my own children. That I enjoy that mostly for vacation. Something for me that money cannot buy.

Hi hardworkinggurl,
Yes the simple joys in life, spending time with the family. What do you do there for free? Good thing there are many activities there in Arkansas. I'm not familiar with the place but reading what you have said, it feels like it's sunny there and there are many water sports you can do. I'm not that adventurous when it comes to water activities as i'm not good at swimming. I easily get tired. Maybe due to old age that's why i easily get tired or maybe lack of exercise.
You'll have a new house in Arkansas? You must really enjoy the place.

You have loving children Luz:) I have never been to Singapore I hope to visit it someday. But now I want to go to the Philippines and do some island hopping:) It has over 7000 islands. I am saving now. Hopefully I could save enough money to do that before the year ends:-)

I'm really blessed when it comes to my children. They are always there to support me. Try to visit Singapore someday. There are many things to visit there like Sentosa, where we visit Universal Studios Singapore. You could also go to Raffles Place and go shopping. You could go to their free botanical garden which is so beautiful. I really like to go their again. I'm from the Philippines and I can say to you that it's really nice here. Our beaches are very beautiful like in Boracay, Palawan and Caramoan islands. If you like nature trips, there are many places to visit here. I hope you could save some money by the end of the year so you could visit our place.

I'm planning to travel to the place I have always dreamed to go, Positano, Italy. I'm going with my mom and my sister, but we still planning things, and probably we could travel next year. Money is always the biggest problem, and as this place is very touristic, hotels are always full, so, a place to stay is another problem. We're planning to find a villa to stay, surely is a bit more expensive than a hotel room, but there is a really really gorgeous place we want to enjoy and a good view is really required. Hopefully, we're going to have the money needed for almost April of next year.

Googling the place and seeing the pictures, it feels like you would really enjoy the scenic view of the sea there. The place looks really Mediterranean. I would also like to go there if money is not a problem. I hope you and your mom could go there next year. Just stick to your budget and soon you'll be enjoying there. What are you planning to do there? Let me know so that if ever i'll try to go there, I know what to do. :)
