I'm a 30 something who loves to travel.  I have a full time job and enjoy writing (or blogging) about my travels.  I've traveled through several countries in Europe as well as Russia and Egypt.  I also enjoy domestic travel in the United States, including Disney.  My long term travel goal is to do a round the world trip.

More Vacation Plans

I am excited to announce my next tour this summer - Contiki's Northern Adventure

After much deliberation over whether to go to South America, Europe or to stay close to home, I decided to stay close to home and see the National Parks out west.

I surprised myself with this a bit.  But I decided South America fit into my long term travel plans better.  And the flights to Europe this summer were going to be expensive.  Everyone I asked, and I mean everyone, thought I should do this tour.

So I'll be starting in Chicago and ending in Los Angeles.  Now that the tour is booked, I just need airfare. And to pack and research some of these places.  If you have any tips, feel free to share, I've only been to Las Vegas, LA and Grand Canyon (via helicopter).

I've looked at some Contikis in the US but I've never been able to bring myself to book one because they're so go-go-go :-/ From the one you're planning, I've been to Chicago (twice), Jackson Hole WY, the Grand Canyon (by car), and Vegas (err...seven times) :) What kind of stuff do you like to do? Jackson Hole is kind of small but it's beautiful. What time of year will you be going? Anyway feel free to email me (taralynne1213[at]gmail[dot]com if you have questions about any of those places :)
