My Dream Vacation

Europe ....My Dream Vacation....never been....really want to go......

           

I would love to go on a long European Vacation. I would like to visit Ireland and Scotland. Then travel to England, Germany, Italy, France and Spain.

My concern this day and time is with all the Wars and bad news you hear. I wonder how safe it really would be to travel to all of these places. How safe would public transportation be around these countries?

I would love to see:                     

                       

                       


I really want to see everything, but I know money would be an issue. I also have no idea how long we would need to stay to see as much as possible. I guess if we ever do take this trip it will depend on how much money we can afford to spend. Money will be the driving issue as to where we go, what we see and how long we stay.

We are considering going to at least Ireland and Germany when our youngest son graduates high school.
I have dreamed of this vacation since I was in high school.

Crystal Coast, NC



        

Crystal Coast, North Carolina

This is an area on the coast at the southern tip of the Outer Banks. It is a beautiful area with miles of beach and many small towns to explore. On 4th of July every town or community has a fireworks display. We wpent our honeymoon here many years ago. Easter we will be going back to this area. My husband loves to go out deep sea fishing here. I love to eat the fish he catches.

You can see wild Spanish horses on Shackleford Banks. The area is rich in history. It is a scuba divers paradise. Cape Lookout lighthouse is a big attraction, as is also Fort Macon and NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.

One place to eat that is a must is Bushwackers Restaurant. They have the most delicious alligator bites. Get a table by the window so you can look out over the beach while you dine. 4th of July you can dine and watch fireworks at the same time.

You can visit  sighs where Blackbeard hung out to avoid capture.
