Upcoming Travels August - November

Well the plans have been made and now I'm searching for the best prices!  We are almost half way through August and while I thought we were having a "down time" for August, September, and October, we are actually only having "mini" vacations instead of big ones.  :)

At the end of this month, we have a four day weekend.  We are learning very quickly that we need to take advantage of them and not waste them since the work weeks are usually filled with very late hours and hardly seeing each other at all.  Sometimes not at all since Jack travels a lot.  He is heading out again today for Turkey and has plans to go back for two more weeks soon and Poland at some point very soon as well.

So, our next four day will be done in Bled, Slovania; Glamping!  We are going with four other couples and it should be super fun.  I think we will be staying in tree houses!  :)  I'm waiting for an email with prices.

Bled, Slovania

I am super excited about this one...who am I kidding?  I'm always excited to travel!

September begins the month for being ready for Oktoberfest in Munich!  We already have our tickets for a place in a tent.  We will have four hours in the tent with a "Mas" beer which is just German for stinkin HUGE beer, half a chicken, and tons of potatoes!  We already have our Dirndl (dress) and Lederhosen (leather pants) ready to go.  We will be going with many of the same people.  :)  Gotta love our adventurous friends!

October is back to Nove, Italy for me!  I have money put aside already for the trip.  I keep dreaming about Nove and all those lovely ceramics.  I can't wait to see Emily and her beautiful baby girl too.  Emily was so much fun this last time and allowed us to stay at her super cute house in Italy which saved us tons of money!  She is such a wonderful hostess!

My friend Sabrina, her daughter TyBrea, and I will be going to see Frankensteins castle in Germany as well but we haven't figured out all the details yet!

November is marathon month.  Jack has decided to run his last marathon in Athens, the original marathon location!  His last two marathons have been completed in four hours with no training.  He says he is going to train for this one.  I am just terribly excited to go to Greece!  :)  I think most of our friends are going to make this trip as well.  Not everyone will be running.  I think I might do the 5k...because I am no where near marathon shape!

We haven't figured out our December trip but I think it will be Spain so we can get out of the cold for a little bit by that point.  Looks like a fun filled couple of months coming up!
