Choose a special gatlinburg tennessee lodging place you’ve always wanted to go for a weekend getaway. We did this at the Crowne Plaza in Terrigal , a favourite gatlinburg tennessee lodging place of ours to hang out as a young adult. We loved being able to stay the night.
gatlinburg tennessee lodging At the moment I m living in Sydney, but won t be here forever so am trying to really make the most of it while I m here. My favourite thing is to go on a random drive or ferry ride to somewhere new then go for a walk. Sydney is great for walking because there are so many beautiful views and pockets of nature where it s hard to believe you re in a city of 4 million! Not to mention all the cafes, bars, restaurants, shops and unique inner city suburbs to explore!
Well said. We live in Melbourne and we normally go away for a weekend or a day trip before my second was born. We haven t been doing it for almost 2 years. We recently travel in our backyard again and this time we are having camping instead staying in B B or apartment or house. The kids having so much fun. We walked to the beach, bush, nearby town, boat rowing, star gaze etc. One thing that we didn t do is taking family photo. we have lots of photos that kids playing and with one of us. I shall remember to do it next time.
Well Melbourne gatlinburg tennessee lodging is another backyard I would be happy to play in for a long time. Such a great city and endless neighbourhoods to explore. You would never run out of places to eat and drink. And with nearby destinations like Philip Island, Mornington Peninsula, Marysville and Wilsons Promontary you are spoilt for choice
Thanks for the amazing tips… my fiancé and me hardly had the time to plan out, coz we used to associate “Travel” with going on long trips days together, but then one weekend out of a spur we just took our SUV and spun a ride, that was possibly one of the best weekends we’ve ever had!! We never discovered we had so many lovely places to visit in our own backyard! We tried new cuisines! Jet skiing! Hitch-hiking and almost anything gatlinburg tennessee lodging we could give a shot at! It was a wonderful experience which refreshed us and our relationship! It was a perfectly-unplanned trip with no burnouts!! Just some change, a big bottle of water, some sunscreen, a local map and a ride did the trick! Wherever you are there is still so many things you haven’t explored! I for two would recommend traveling in your own backyard to anyone! Happy traveling…
Couldn t agree more! Travelling in my own backyard is my goal for the next year. I ve lived in the same area nearly all my life, and think it is so silly that there are still so many things I haven t seen or done, yet I ll spend thousands travelling to the other side of the world to do them!
I don t do this nearly enough, and my excuse is that from Perth there aren t that many options (all of down south of course well, a bit of it, most of it is 3 to 5 hours drive which is a bit much for an overnighter with small kids) but my real reason is I get lazy and feel like travel gatlinburg tennessee lodging is only real when it involves an aeroplane! So this post is a good reminder to get back out there and enjoy my own backyard in between bigger trips thank you!
Hi Amanda, I m also from Perth, so I know what you mean!! Day trips to the wheat belt don t tend to be the most exciting It s a shame that Rottnest is so expensive and Margaret River just a bit too far for a day trip.
But even in Perth it s easy to take for granted the good things that travellers notice. For instance, for over 20 years of my life I lived 10 minutes walk from Kings Park, but it was only after talking to travellers and reading travel blogs that I realised it was something special! gatlinburg tennessee lodging Also living away from Perth I really miss the hot dry summer and being able to zip down to an uncrowded beach for a 10 minute swim after work without worrying about traffic or paying for parking.
I live in Perth as well so many great options for day trips here. Don t get bogged down with you have to go down south. There are wineries and other fun activities in the Swan Valley, we have some of the best beaches in the world or you can go bush walking and a picnic in the hills. The maze has just opened a water park or go to the city and cycle the river, visit the various playgrounds in Kings Park.
Yeah, Perth and surrounds is a tough one. I guess if you seek out free things to do like new beaches, new walks, new parks, markets etc and trying different cafes or even just going for random drives is always “something” good as well.
These are all great ideas. I love to discover new places and things to do in my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I like the idea of doing something gatlinburg tennessee lodging new every month and I m adding it to my goals for 2014!
I would also recommend reading your local paper or checking out meetup.com to discover events happening in your area. For example, I recently went to an open house at a glass blowing gatlinburg tennessee lodging shop and got to make a glass pumpkin. It was a fun day out and I discovered something new that I normally wouldn t do at home!
Fantastic post! There are definitely different means of travel and exploring the area we live in more often is one of my favorites. Having lived in a few different states gatlinburg tennessee lodging in the US, it wasn t until I left that I realized gatlinburg tennessee lodging how much I hadn t seen. I m trying to travel more locally to make sure I ve seen as much as I can in my backyard!
One of the great things about local travel is it can be so spur of the moment. You don t have to spend months or even weeks planning. You can just wake up and decide to go. Plus there are so many websites to help you book your last minute accommodation.
Thank you for this! My husband s daughters live in another state (we live in California USA) and we are about to embark upon a road trip up to the California Coast, through Southern Oregon and back down to San Diego on an interior road. Very true to travel and explore gatlinburg tennessee lodging right where you live! So much I ve seen, but so much new that I haven t. Appreciate the resources. Great blog! Look forward to following your family s adventures!
