One of my favorites is camping, because it has the relaxing component built in when you sit around the campfire, enjoying a glass of wine, good talks or reading... A few years ago we traveled Alaska this way and it was exactly the right mix!Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-61175038373795992742011-03-07T22:02:26.608-08:002011-03-07T22:02:26.608-08:00I would have to say we vacation...

I tend to suffer what I like to call "traveller's melancholy" (coined by Frances Mayes) for short periods when I'm in a foreign country experiencing all there is to experience. When we slooowwwww the pace for a few days, snooze in the sun, stare into space, I recover fully.mosey (kim)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14990626697257089908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-36100098484240037812011-03-07T18:20:12.345-08:002011-03-07T18:20:12.345-08:00We tend to vacation.

We rent a house on the coast 2-3 times a year to just veg for a week or two. It's familiar, beautiful, and very relaxing. After our big last trip (to Italy) we were thinking that we had covered too much territory, and would have liked to stay in one place longer. Slow travel sounds good.<br /><br />Welcome back, Kat! Can't wait to see some of your pictures.ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748316725457763377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-84907190719822890402011-03-07T07:03:43.578-08:002011-03-07T07:03:43.578-08:00Absolutely beautiful.

This is beautiful though and I would love to vacation there. My inlaws just mentioned again that we needed to "take them" to NYC. I don't know - that sounds like work to me.Ashley Siskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964259733610203026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-63517654761236030872011-03-07T06:55:00.280-08:002011-03-07T06:55:00.280-08:00Is there a way to do both??

We've promised ourselves that next year we'll plan another one. It's been too long.<br /><br />You've had such marvelous opportunities these past two years and I'm glad you've found a way to balance the two---slow travel, interesting idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-9133030290217954032011-03-07T01:32:22.814-08:002011-03-07T01:32:22.814-08:00We so vacation:) My main point in vacation is to s...We so vacation:) My main point in vacation is to stop use my brains!! I don't even want to know if something really bad happens back home because I really can't do anything about that before I came back so NO phones and NO news..total block.<br />I have been near Taormina Naxos in my childhood for twice. I got to know local children and make friends with them even we speak only little english then. I never forget my two wonderful summers in Sicily.<br />I'm coming to Chianti Tuscany end of April for photographing course, I so wait that:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870853365740708949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-19352820910211817042011-03-07T00:05:41.346-08:002011-03-07T00:05:41.346-08:00Hi Kat,

When we travel in our old camper-van we stay put for a few days and walk everywhere instead of driving, we really get to know the area this way. <br /><br />You are right those lingering moments are pure bliss and fixed in the memory forever!<br /><br />Enjoy your remaining time in Italy<br /><br />Sue xfoxysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620248626509576905noreply@blogger.com
