RAK Destash #7 - August

I haven't gone on vacation for quite a long time and I have no plans to. I do remember as a child and teenager I used to go on vacation every year with my parents to Cape Cod, Mass. I loved it there. So calm, peaceful and family oriented. I loved the National Seashore where they had tide pools where I collected shells and hermit crabs. I loved the fresh seafood especially lobster. I loved the walks we took at night and especially enjoyed when we got ice cream. I thought I would share a little bit about my past since I no longer take vacations.

I haven't gone on vacation and don't plan to

I was very lucky to be able to go in June to meet up with a friend in another state Had a great time

No vacation here, either. Maybe in the Fall.

No vacation, but every day is a staycation in my weird world :). I would love to go to Florida to see my parents but that is not going to happen for a dozen or so reasons... :( Thanks for the swap!

no due to the pandemic, but I am now fully vaccinated. my 93 year old dear friend moved to Idaho, I should say her son moved her, and I was heart broken, she was like my second mother. I have plans to visit her in September and can't wait. will surprise her with her favorite cookies, OATMEAL CRANBERRY WALNUT.

I did go on vacation in May of this year. I was able to get a great rate to Sacramento... so I saw my son 😃 I hadn't seen him for 3 years, and our plans to have me and his grandma move there were blown to bits. I was able to meet his gf, and her parents. We all spent a lot of time together... it was wonderful!! He and his gf are now residing in NY. At least we are on the same coast now 😂! Lol

For the record Yvonne401, I grew up in MA with an aunt at the Cape... I wouldn't mind going back someday!! Nothing better than a fresh lobster roll.... I totally agree.

My mom took me, my husband and out two boys to Disneyland in June. We went before the state opened up so only California residents could go and it was only at half capacity. So that was pretty cool. But they were very strict on mask wearing, which was ok with us.

So sorry @craftqueen ! Thanks @RiverTopanga !

Haven’t gone on physical vacation this year, although I’d love to get away, anywhere scenic! I haven’t been on many vacations in life, in general, especially as an adult. Probably how I learned to spirit-travel, which is how I go these days! No jabs or passports needed! As a child, I used to spend summers with my grandparents, in their RV, at the coast. I miss the physical feeling of the ocean and the fresh ocean spray air! I’d love to walk on the beach again, or visit some National parks, or even just revisit Gruene, TX and go white water rapiding with my son again.

No vacation this year 🙃... Instead, we had a staycation while I'm recovering from major foot 👣 reconstruction surgery. Still on the mend! We plan to go to the Texas coast next summer. Thanks for asking and being so generous.🤗

I've done more traveling in the past year than I have in the last 15 years combined lol. Miami, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Dallas, Louisville, Nashville, Minnesota.... figure I'd better see what's left of the cities on my bucket list while there is still something left to see.

@DragonflyDreamer ~ that sounds like a good plan!

I didn't go on an ACTUAL vacation this year, however; in June, I did co-drive a bus with 13 rescue dogs from the Houston area to several stops in the Pacific Northwest states. We were in TX, NM, AZ, CA, OR & WA. I had never been to any of those states besides TX- so that was the fun part. The whole trip: there and back was only 6 days- but 5,632 miles! Exhausting!

I haven't yet, but I hope to get away for a night or two to the beach somewhere in CA before the summer is over.

I have gone camping several weekends, so mini vacations.😁

Well this was the year I was supposed to go to Tuscany and cannot now because of the pandemic . I put that money in a seperate savings account so it would be there when I wanted to go . But sadly now cant maybe next year .

I have gone on vacation to LA and San Diego. I had a blast hanging out at the beach and seeing family, hopefully it won't be the last for this year!

No vacation this year 😢. I don't have any plans to either this year. Hopefully next year will be better.

Yes. I went to Glacier National Park with my family. It was crowded but still beautiful.

@sleepykitty is our winner. Congrats!

Thank you so much, @yvonne401
