flights of fancy

Just knowing that we don't have to travel this month is a comfort. 2006 has been quite a year for galavanting for this family!
-Early in the year, we attended a memorial service in New Hampshire.
-In March, Hubby & I traveled to sunny Spain. We covered Madrid, Toledo, Seville, Cordoba, Cadiz, Tarifa, Valencia, and Malaga. We also stayed in a 15th-century Parador (historical hotel) that we chanced upon somewhere south of Madrid.
-We spent an elegant (and expensive!) night in Gibraltar, too.
-Summer vacation took us to D.C., although we stayed in Virginia.
-Our rental car brought us to Colonial Williamsburg where we also traveled to another century.
-One night was spent on North Carolina's Outer Banks to visit my littlest brother and his wife. Although time was of the essence, we gazed momentarily upon their local lighthouse and dipped our toes in the Atlantic before departing.
-Hubby and the two little darlings flew to the Dominican Republic in September. I stayed home to babysit a pregnant mare and to can bushels and bushels of produce.
-The fam took a short trip to Ottawa to see Stomp.
-Thanksgiving Day was spent in Wisconsin. A day-trip into Chicago was squeezed in, for for good measure.
-Hubby flies to Colorado Springs this week.
For sake of space, I will omit detailing any in-state travel. (Trips to Albany, Windham, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, and who knows where else!)
That should wrap it up. Any other travel this year will have to be arm-chair travel.
