I'm trying to figure out some day trips I can take. I think that Fallingwater is within reasonable day trip distance, but that requires better weather than we're supposed to be having for the next few days.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Michigan's upper peninsula is both, Tom. There's miles of Lake Superior coastline (and a bit on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron), loads of woods, some minor mountains, and the occasional farm. You could go on a driving tour of the lighthouses, or hike to dozens of waterfalls. If I was spending money on vacations and keeping it domestic, that's probably where I'd go. [link]
The insect life can get a bit intense, but otherwise it's terrific.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Someplace rural and quiet.
Iceland??
-t, I am semi-seriously interested in going for the eclipse, so keep me posted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The next (after 2015) total solar eclipse I can reasonably get to will be over North America on August 21, 2017. I can wait, but why?!?
Yeah, I think that's the one I'm planning to see from exotic Salem, OR. Anyway, will notify y'all of what I find out when I look at Iceland trips again (I was okay with going alone, but with buffistas would be better!)

I want to take a trip where I don't have to worry about driving or car maintenance or things like that. Unfortunately, I would probably hate taking a tour group trip, much less couldn't afford it.

Our wings are not tired.
it is hard to distinguish an image search for hair that is pink, and hair worn by the singer Pink.
Though both fun to look at!
I need to figure out where to go on vacation. Someplace rural and quiet.
Otter Lake!! (I'm not there yet, but soon) Mountains, lakes, solitude or socializing. All good.
Eclipse in Iceland needs to be put on my list....

All summer. I expect to be leaving soon and staying at least until Labor Day. Might stay for some leaf color.
