I have always loved to traveling. My overall travel goal is to one day live in a RV and travel the United States. I love exploring places which works well with my husbands job in baseball. I love being able to explore wherever our new home may be and the areas around it. Not sure what this year is going to bring, but hopefully be able to explore new areas. Travel goals 2022 is to experience as much as possible.
In the past, I had tried to fit something into every minute of each day. Now we make a list of our top 2-3 things that we HAVE to do then spend the rest of the time exploring. This year is different because we recently moved from California to Illinois. So we have a whole new landscape of places to visit. We have a few trips planned, but I’m excited to see more of Illinois.
Solo Trip
Going on a solo trip is something that I have wanted to do for a while. I’m thinking that I will go somewhere during baseball season. I don’t have a place in mind yet, but it something that I want to do this year. For me a solo trip will probably be to an isolated placewhere I can focus on writing and reading. I tell Gary all the time I want to go to a place where I can just sit and read all day without distractions.
Girls Trip
I was actually thinking about this one while writing about the solo trip. I did a girls weekend getaway with other bloggers about 7 years ago. It was so much fun! I don’t remember the exact spot, but there was about 10 of us bloggers. I think it would be great to do something like this again. Maybe I can combine the girls trip with a place that we can all just write together. I’m thinking maybe a trip to Sedona, AZ because it has everything. Spa, beautiful hiking, secluded area to write and reconnect with friends.
Louisville, KY
Gary and I try to get away somewhere before the season and around our anniversary. (April 30 is our anniversary) It’s a time that we can hang out together to celebrate us obviously, but gives him a time to relax before the craziness of the season. This year we are going to Louisville. We have had this on our bucket list since we have lived in WV. I am so excited that we are finally going. We have so much already planned already – Louisville Slugger Museum, Churchill Downs, Maker’s Mark.
Texas
We are going with our family tripin September/October. The dates aren’t really finalized yet, but I am so excited to explore Texas. We don’t have all specific planned out, but it will be fun to go to a place we haven’t been before together. I do know we have plans to hit a lot of towns in Texas. Austin is on our list and I can’t wait to go to the Ice Cream Museum again. Gary is excited for the possibility of being able to go to a football game.
Upper Pennisula Michigan
I did a little bit of this last year. My mom wanted to walk across the Mackinaw Bridge then explore the island. We did a little bit of the UP before the bridge walk. My parents want to do it again this year. They have a timeshare that they are thinking about renting this year. I hope that I can go up and explore the UP and see the island again. I can’t wait because the UP is so gorgeous. I was completely in shocked of the everything.
Explore Peoria
Since we just moved to Peoria we need to explore Peoria. We got here in late September and immediately got to work. Both of our full time jobs demanded a lot at first, so weekends were mostly relaxing and recharging for the next week. There is so much to see in Peoria, and I can’t wait to explore Peoria and the surrounding areas.
Secret Trips
We have a few of these trips planned, but I can’t talk about them. There are some factors that aren’t public yet. But a few of these are going to be so awesome. It’s something that I never thought I would be able to do.
I am so excited to see what this year will offer and what we’ll be able to experience. I am so excited about each one for different reasons. This year is going to be a lot about experiences and being more present in the moment. Here’s to my travel goals in 2023. Where are you going this year?
