Friday Five for 6-9-06
Ok, so I'm a little late. I haven't had time and I barely have time now to do these.
This week's set for thefridayfive were suggested by dailycoffeejolt.
1. What is (or would be) your dream vacation?
Around the world. Everywhere there is to see. England, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Israel, India, South Africa, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Egypt, New Zeland, Australia, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, you name it, I wanna see it.
2. What's one thing no vacation can do without?
Fun. Culture. Experience. Trying new things. All of the above. There's no point to a vacation if you're just going to sit around and do the same things you'd do if you were at home. I wouldn't want to go to Austria just to sit on a computer all day and play KoL.
3. What has been the best trip of your life so far?
It's a toss up between Toronto and my first trip to Oregon. Toronto was my first time out of the US and that alone is pretty cool. It was first for a lot of things that weekend. The CN tower, Canadian football game (go Argos!) and even my first trip to Medieval Times (even though there's one about 45 minutes from my house!) But Oregon rocked too because I saw a lot of things you can't see in the Midwest. So many mountains. Plus it was my first time hiking for real, riding a horse and taking a plane. Plus I think it was my first real long distance trip alone too. If I had to pick, I'd pick Oregon for all the experiences.
4. Who was with you on that trip and what is the role of that person in your life?
No one. I went to Oregon alone. Flew by myself. I did stay with my aunt and she's the one who planned all those cool things. Everything I did was with my aunt and two cousins (who were too little to be left alone when not in school.) She doesn't play a huge role in my life but she's my aunt and I love her. I'll see her next time I'm in Oregon, hopefully.
5. What's the worst thing that can happen during a vacation?
Running out of money, getting robbed, getting too sick to get out of bed, getting arrested, major injury/accident. Pretty much anything that keeps you from doing the things you went their to do. No one wants to be broke on vacation. No one wants to catch "teh death" and not be able to do anything. No one wants to break a leg or fall into a coma. I had a friend who was robbed while he was in Amsterdam. It killed his trip and opinion of the country. I've been fortunate enough to not have any of that happen. I'll get sick on trips, especially if I'm changing climates, but not too sick I can't do anything. I've been lucky. *knocks on wood*
