Upcoming Trips
This page highlights the destinations on our travel calendar and where our next adventures will take us. Along the way, we’ll include links to campgrounds, attractions, restaurants, and other places we think you might enjoy. We receive no compensation, discounts, or incentives for mentioning any of the places or businesses featured here. If that ever changes, we’ll clearly disclose it. As we plan new adventures, this page will be updated throughout the year. Once a trip is complete, you can find our travel stories, campground reviews, photos, and tips on the corresponding trip page under the Our Trips menu.
Burlington Bay Campground, Two Harbors, MN
If you’ve followed this site for any length of time, you already know how much Pat and I enjoy Burlington Bay Campground in Two Harbors. We have one more trip planned there this fall. It’s one of those places that lets us slow down, enjoy the beauty of the North Shore, and recharge without having to spend days on the road. Click here to check out their website.
Marco Island, FL
Pat’s brother and his wife own a beautiful townhome on Marco Island, Florida. They purchased it as their future retirement home, and while they work toward that goal, they rent it to seasonal visitors. It’s been a great investment for them and has allowed others to enjoy this wonderful area of southwest Florida.
We were fortunate enough to spend some time there again this November. They had graciously invited us the previous year as well, and we enjoyed it so much that we happily accepted another invitation.
Marco Island is a beautiful destination, offering gorgeous beaches, spectacular sunsets, excellent restaurants, and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to slow down for a while and recharge before another Minnesota winter arrives.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already looking forward to our next visit.
Atlanta and Fort Myers Beach, FL
Pat and I have been traveling to Fort Myers Beach for more than 15 years. We’ve skipped a year here and there, but it remains one of our favorite destinations. We truly feel at home there. Over the years, we’ve met some wonderful people and made more memories than we could possibly count.
Since we aren’t snowbirding anywhere this winter, we already know that by the middle of a long Minnesota winter we’re going to be ready for a break from the cold.
So, we’re planning a winter getaway. We’ll start with a few days in Atlanta visiting our daughter and her family, including four of our grandkids. From there, we’ll head south to Fort Myers Beach for nine days.
We’re looking forward to returning to a place that has meant so much to us over the years. Our plans aren’t complicated: walk the beach, soak up some Florida sunshine, spend time at some of our favorite places, and enjoy those incredible Fort Myers Beach sunsets.
Sometimes you don’t need a new destination. Sometimes it’s just nice to go back to a place that feels like home.
