Winter fantasies...

[Pom]

Although our weather isn't remotely horrible like some of you have experienced, this is the time of year we start craving our summer vacation time Up North, chatting about purchases, future travel, etc...

What's on your fantasy list?

[gogreengowhite]

I've been fantasizing about feeling the warmth of sun in my face and sleeping with the windows open. It's sad but it's been so dark and blah here.

Sitting on the dock drinking gin and tonics as the sun goes down! Warm, but not hot and slightly breezy. And a good book and quiet!

Mine consist of getting together with all our friends and having a cook-out in our yard Up North, complete with late night campfire and cocktails. Walking down to the beach when the moon is out. Sleeping with the fan in the window and boating through the Inland Lakes, getting out on the sandbars to swim. Sigh, sadly it is 3 degrees there right now

Spring nights on the patio with wine or cocktails, with the fireplace roaring not because we need it but because it is pretty!

Just this afternoon, I started wondering about the price to rent an ocean city beach house/condo for a month so I could send every weekend at the beach.

A walk on the beach in SC without kids and a nice dinner in downtown Charleston.

We are trying to see if we can take 3-4 days in March/April to go to Florida or NOLA.

I'll be glad when we can sit on the deck in our yard and have drinks. And grill.

I want to start Couch to 5K, too. The cold isn't preventing me now so much as the icy sidewalks.

And now that I'm done shoveling snow and can check prices.... There goes my fantasy...

[babsbunny]

I'm dreaming of the light blue Caribbean waters so warm that I can walk right into the water without feeling the smallest bit of cold.

Last weekend, DH and I were in a whirlpool at a Vegas hotel where it was about 75 degrees outside and he made a point to remind me that our families were being buried in snow.

I may or may not spend my lunch breaks pricing out cruises. Disney cruise, NCL, all of them.

We will likely need to scale back travel plans this year. Hopefully we'll do a long weekend at Mackinac in July or August. Maybe somewhere for Thanksgiving - Seattle and New York are on my list of possibilities.

Who knows. We'll see I guess.

[LoveTrains]

Sun. A place where the temperature is above 35 degrees. A place with no snow. A place where I can see the ground and its not covered by snow.

I wish we were able to go to the Island this year.  I don't think time will allow

Have a great time!

Wanna go in on a vacation condo with me? Lol

~$6000 to rent for July
$130k to buy a one bedroom 1/2 block from beach. Said condo rents around $1200/week in July & August.

rubytue, seriously, only $130k!!?!?!?!?! I was definitely expecting more! Damn, this was NOT helpful information since I was expecting a much higher price!!!!

[rubytue]

Yes! I've been browsing all afternoon. Studios as low as $90k. 1 bedrooms $125-$150 (and up, of course). I just can't find condo fees to do a real calculations on it.
