travel | All Things Fabulous

I only returned from my last holiday a few weeks ago, but I’m already planning my next adventure. For some unknown reason, I have always wanted to visit San Francisco. I really don’t know why this passion is so strong, but every time anyone mentions this city something calls to me and reignites my longing to visit this beautiful place.

So, why have I not ventured here on holiday you ask? Good question! I have been fortunate to visit some amazing places in my time, and there are still so many more I would love to see. There’s just not enough time or money to be able to do it all 🙂 but I have convinced my husband that our next excursion will be to the sunny coast of California, where I will finally get to visit the elegant SF.

With our Trailfinders brochures ordered, we’ve now set upon the task of deciding where we will go. The only problem is trying to pick our route, with so many to choose from it’s going to be difficult. From the stunning Yosemite National Park and the glitz of LA and Hollywood to laid back resort of San Diego and the city that never sleeps, Las Vegas (OK, so I know technically this isn’t in California but you couldn’t fly all this way and not spend a little time in one of the world’s most opulent cities!!).

We’ve agreed the best way to get around will be motorhome style, our time is our own and we can decide when and where we want to stay. If we like somewhere we can hang around a few days, and if we’re not loving somewhere else we can hop straight back on the road to our next destination.

Being as impatient as I am, I would love to travel this year. Unfortunately we’re not super rich, so we’re planning for next year. All I can say is roll on 2014 and the feel of the Californian sun on my face and wind through my hair.

I’m going to enjoy planning this trip very much 🙂

I was doing my daily Facebook check and got a little distracted by some photos taken during a trip to Canada with my husband, back in 2009. And it got me thinking what an amazing and beautiful place it is.

If you’ve not had the pleasure or privilege of visiting this wonderful country, I seriously recommend it. You won’t be disappointed.

My husband and I decided to take a two week road trip in a camper van around The Rockies. Arriving in Calgary we stayed here for two days, before making our way to the mountains. With the stretch of days ahead of us and no fixed plans, the road really could take us anywhere.

We made many stops along the way, if something caught our eye whilst on the road then we would simply stop, and go for a wander. I love these types of holidays, where you’re not fixed to any schedule, you’re not rushing to leave to make the next bus / train / boat. It really is a perfect way to travel.

It was the holiday of a lifetime and features way up on my list of favourite experiences. So I thought I would share some of our photos with you, so at least you can witness the charming and elegant scenery. Simply breathtaking.

Enjoy!! xx
