Travel Your Passion

I see a lot of people  who have  travel
as a passion and hobby. It is a good
thing though can be expensive  if you
go too far.

One way to save on travel  expenses
is to visit  family or friends in another
area or even country.  I  know a woman 
I grew up with  who has a cousin living
in London  England.  She visits  her 
cousin  once or twice a year. Of course
this means they are close.

Besides the UK she visits other European 
countries. The time I visited England I
took a ferry  ride to Belgium and then 
a train to Germany.  I  was able to visit
my brother  in Frankfurt as well  as  
visiting  other German  cities like Berlin. 

On this trip I  met some college  girls
from California. They had just finished 
college  and doing this trip before going
home. They rode the train to every stop
and slept on the train at night while visiting 
each city during the day. I  figured that is 
a good idea.

If you enjoy writing  you can journal and
take photos. You can create your own
travel blog and take what you wrote in
your journal  along with the photos. 
This can be a way to make money  and
travel  more.

Another way to help in your travel  bug 
is to visit  places in your area on the 
weekends. A holiday weekend would
be good. All depends  whether  you 
want to go for a day or longer. This
can be good for blogging as well. 

When I  visit a social  media  site like
Instagram I am able to see others who
are visiting in my own state that I never
heard of before. A great way to keep
the cost down too. Great travel wherever
you go. Until next  time.

Welcome To November

Here we are into November I am sure
there are those who have traveled  in
October possibly  to a warmer spot.

My cousin  Christy and her husband 
David who I  visited  early September  
in British  Columbia are now at their 
home in Arizona. They will be in Arizona 
until mid December  when they return 
back to British  Columbia  for the holidays. 

They do it a bit different than many 
who go to be warmer climate in
winter time.  They want to spend a 
little  time in the cold weather  of 
British Columbia. The main reason 
to spend it with their children and
grandchildren.  

Christy and David have two sons
in Edmonton  Alberta and a third
son who recently returned  to take
a job in Vancouver after being in
eastern Canada. I  am  sure  Christy
and David enjoyed  traveling to visit
however now in British Columbia 
more often.

Christy  and  David  enjoy the  hot
weather of Arizona  now where
she continues with doing pottery.
David spent some of October going
to some of the baseball games in
the Arizona  league to watch the 
prospects  who are making their
way to the majors.

I know for Americans  November is
where will visit family for Thanksgiving 
or go to a favorite  spot for vacation 
or both. Right now this begins the
holiday  season for us all.

In Washington  State a popular  spot
to visit is Leavenworth.  It is located
in central part of the Cascade Mountains.
Leavenworth  looks like it should be
located in Germany. This is good time
to visit. December  a larger group of 
people travel for the snow and at the
 beginning of the month  there are 
parades. You can visit  and see people 
from different places. Oh yes you can
find restaurants  that serve German 
food. For those in the local area enjoy
that. I  know I  did when I  visited.

Have a wonderful  holiday whether
you stay or travel.  

In Ottawa Area

 I am in Gatineau Quebec Canada for the holidays. I am at my sister's and I will see her sons on Monday as well as Tuesday and Christmas...
