White is Bright

It's the end of March and I haven't done any planning whatsoever for my vacation (which I just put my PTO in for, for July)! Scotland got pushed back again a while ago in favor of going to Portugal with my family. But, the youngest person in the group after me will be in there 60's... not feelin' it, you know? I wanted to go with them because they're family and to go with people who speak the language... but I thought at least one of my cousins would go too. So I've scratched that off the list.

There are many places within reason I haven't seen such as Seattle, Portland, Yellowstone, etc. but I feel like I need to travel outside of the country. I've been wanting to see Canada for a long time because of it's beautiful wilderness. Many great things have been said about Vancouver and I think I'd enjoy seeing it. The city is clean and pretty; the forests and other natural beauties are just outside the city, too. I've made many dreams about travels to a lot of places but they never happen mostly because of my anxieties about trying to make my way and find things to do in a place completely unknown to me. Even when I live somewhere I'm not good at it! I have no idea what to do on the logistics side which scares me more than just finding something to do... that I think I would make happen if I was in the situation but it would be nice if I knew someone there that could give me some hints or show me around. But getting flights, cars, hotels, dealing with customs, etc... it seems so daunting to me, especially by myself. I guess I could fly to Seattle, see that place for a couple days or so, then drive up to Canada? Not sure that would be any easier though...

I need to figure it out soon.

travel, dreams
