This week’s topic is favorite things to do on vacation. We have a vacation (to Singapore! ) coming up soon, so the timing is good for me! 
1. Umm … ask Craig about this one! 
2. Explore a new place – Craig & I both love to travel, and although we have some favorite places, we really like visiting places we’ve never been before. Like Singapore!
3. Absolutely nothing – we take two kinds of vacations: adventure trips (see #2 above) and relaxation trips; the crazier our life gets, the more I appreciate taking time to just chill and do nothing. I prefer a non-crowded beach or an isolated mountain cabin for this type of trip.
4. Try new foods – wherever we are, and why-ever we’re there, we love to sample good local cuisine. No chains allowed!
5. Help my kids learn about other cultures – now that they’re old enough to remember and understand travel, we take the kids with us whenever we can. We both really want them to grow up with high levels of openness and curiosity about and appreciation of other people and places.
6. Walk – Nashville isn’t a walking city, especially the ‘burbs where we are. Nothing gives you a better feel for a place than walking around and exploring on foot. I walk everywhere I can when we’re on vacation.
7. Take a break from work – spend as little time as possible on the computer!
8. Meet new people – humans are social animals, and for me places aren’t places without the people who live there. When I travel, I don’t like to just observe the sights, I like to interact with “real live locals”.
9. Get high – wherever we visit, I like to find the highest spot we can access, whether it’s an observation booth at the top og a very tall building or the view off a mountaintop, and get a bird’s eye view, helps keep perspective. Hah, that’s not what you thought I was going to say on this one, is it! 
10. Shop – what’s a great trip without souvenirs?!!
