I wanna go where it's warm!

Our challenge this week comes from A.S. Fenichel - "It's cold in most places. What's your favorite vacation spot? This can be someplace you've been or someplace you dream of going. If you have a book with a terrific vacation spot, work it in, too. :)"


Welcome to visitors from Jamie Denise's blog. She is awesome and I am sure you enjoyed her answers. If you missed her, hop back!
First, I am a parrothead. That means I am someone who's laid back, comfortable with like-minded folks. It also means I want to be somewhere it's warm. Like Jimmy Buffett says in his song "Boat Drinks", I got cabin fever and I wanna go where it's warm. Snow's great for a while, cold weather makes for great snuggling but enough is enough!

I'm sitting here, next to a crackling fire, making contingency plans for power outages, and thanking the good Lord that the girls' school division had the unusual good sense to call off school for tomorrow. I am more than happy to share with you my top five vacation spots.
Picture
!. Australia- This is such a fabulous country. First, Australians are wonderful, friendly, hospitable people.  Accommodations on the Gold Coast are amazing and a great launching point for a trip to dive the Great Barrier Reef. A must visit is Uluru (or Ayer's Rock). The last time I visited I only got three days. Not nearly long enough as it was so spiritually uplifting.

Picture
2. The OuterBanks of North Carolina- Mid-summer, October or winter, I adore this oversized sandbar. It is easily accessible from where I live and I used to rent a colleague's beach cottage on the off-season. Rain, sleet or balmy weather, life is truly better on the beach!

Picture
3. I saved the best for last. If I won several million dollars, I would high-tail it to the Florida Keys. No matter which key is this long archipelago you choose, you'll find an eclectic collection of folks who have escaped the lunacy of the world to reside in paradise. Others might prefer the culture and glitz of Miami (which is great to visit) but give me tank tops and flip flops any day.

Coincidentally, I have a story set in Marathon but it's not complete. More women's fiction as it's a group of four women who find way more than they expected during their summer break.

So which are your favorite vacation spots? Tell me, I'm dying to add to my to-visit list! After you share, head over to Victoria Barbour's blog to discover her favorite escape!

Fellow parrothead Carolyn! Oh, how I love thee. He puts on the best concerts. I mean parties. ;) Never been to Australia but it's on the bucket list and couldn't agree more with OBX and the Keys! LOVED!

Australia was amazing to be sure. Can't say enough about it and would totally go back!

My husband is a huge Parrothead. We've been to several JB concerts - such fun! I love the Outerbanks and the Keys as well - great spots to spend some quality vaca time.

Having kids has restricted my JB concert attendance to just once in ten years. I must get to another soon!

The Keys are magical. I have to check out those Outer Bank beaches and (sigh) Australia. Yes. One day.

Right now, I'd love to be in the Keys, sipping a margarita on the rocks, peeling steamed shrimp. Oh, yeah. at sunset!

I would LOVE to visit Australia. I actually work for an Aussie company, and I just keep crossing my fingers they'll call me over for a "Mandatory" meeting. You know?

Parrothead, lol. Australia would be wonderful...if everything there wasn't out to kill you. ;) New Zealand would be lovely as well. =)

Yes, I'd love to go there, too! Such a long list....

Australia always sounds so inviting, until I remember the spiders! :D

Strangely in three weeks there, I only saw one snake (in the wild) and it was moving slowly as it was winter. The cassowary was scarier.
