Dayle in Guatemala Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I would go on a literary tour of the British Isles!

Jenny in Atl Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 A beach somewhere warm with great food and drink for at least a few weeks. Then I would be ready for some real traveling. Do I have to pick just one place? If so most likely Italy. If I can go else where, I would start at one end of the Globe and work my way around. Then, I would be ready to come back home. Most likely to a pile of wash that blocks out the sun. :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMindy Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 they only live 3 miles away, but I love being there. They have a pool and a beautiful backyard and I'm crazy about my parents. I love being at there house....and if I were running away, I'd want all the priviledges of being an adult and yet by living at my parents I'd have none of the responsibilties. I could just be the daughter. :-) Or, a trip around the world would be great too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleWI Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Are we running away because things are hectic or running away for fun? Running away because things are hectic ... down to the corner coffee shop with a Sudoku book, notebook and my Autobiography of Benjamin Rush and *no* cell phone! Running away for fun ... a cabin in the Northwoods right here in Wisconsin. A lake and indoor potty are required. I'd take the whole family, though. And lots of books and games. We'd disappear for a week. My husband is a retail cellular store manager so he is called constantly with little problems that employees can handle on their own. Our phones would be set to "no ringer" so we would never know anyone called unless we wanted to check. I'd love to do exactly this, but it will have to wait for Fall. Baby is due too soon for us to squeeze a trip in before his arrival because it will still be too cold. After his arrival, the mosquitoes will be on the attack. Fall will be perfect. Aaaahhhh ... ...

Doran Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 (...and we know how dangerous thinking is...) ...I'd stop in at Mindy's parents' house, figuring they'd fix me a nice, warm meal while Min and I smoked little green rep squares together. Then, she and I would pop over to Colleen's for a Mik..er..I mean, for some raw milk. After that, the three of us would stop in to see Rose and Jennifer in B.C., maybe slip over and check out Karenciavo's place (wait...where is that exactly? Oh well, who cares, we'll find it). We could hit the Oprah store (another thread, sorry), and then, let's see, then we'd have to stop down to Quiver's. Cinnamon rolls would hit the spot about now. Jenny, we could join you on the beach for a few days. Then, we could all hook up with Kelli. Shoot, we'd have to stay there for about a week while Amy, GothicGyrl...shoot, why don't all you east coast girls come join us? Then, with so many of us traveling, we'd need to pick up the flaming sword -- you know, for protection. Except, when we got there, we'd find that Pam and Bridgett had already gone off with their snacks, rotten things. So, then we'd have to stop in at Peek's, for a Coke and a private jet ride to the Greece. Mamagistra could come, too, since she's right there. There's a lot of room on those fancy schmancy jets Peek-a-Daddy flies, right? 'Cause I have a feeling there are going to be whole passle of gals from Texas getting on board with the rest of us. Sounds like once we get to Greece, the rest of the WTM crew will already be there, with pretty little beverages (and snacks) just waiting for us. Hehheheheh....

Amy loves Bud Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'd have a little beach shack that I would hang out in. There would be a farmer's market nearby where I would get lots of fresh tomatoes and cantaloupe. I would spend my mornings on the beach with some good books, then shower up in my outdoor garden shower, and then spend my afternoons doing some sort of crafting or sewing. Then I'd finish my day with a sunset walk on the beach and go to bed at dark. Anyone have a number for a travel agent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 We have had so much snow that I am just dreaming of being at the beach with lots of Coppertone (love that smell) and Hawaiian Tropic, a bikini, and a drink with a little umbrella in it. When it gets too hot, take a swim in the ocean (an ocean minus the sharks and jellyfish) and flop back down on the beach with a good book. That would be heaven to me right now, as the snow falls and the icicles get larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorna in the boonies Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'd pretend we were all going to the Outer Banks (dh's home turf -- if I were brave enough to post my last name, those of you familiar with the OBX would have no doubt as to his ancestry). I'd tell everyone I knew that we were going, I'd help load up the van . . . and then I'd scurry back into my own house and send my family on their way to visit dh's side of the family. I'd hole up, all alone and in my own house, for about two weeks. My phone would not ring. My door would not be knocked upon. It would just be me, the cat, and the dog. And then I would happily welcome my family back home. Well, that's *my* idea of running away. It couldn't possibly get any better than that. (Editing because that took forever to post due to computer issues. When I started, Kelli in TN had not yet posted. I didn't mean to steal her thunder and her idea!
