With the arrival of autumn just around the bend, the summer holidays have seen their end. Most people take their holidays during the long summer break in order to spend time with their school kids. I have not particularly liked going out in the summertime. One reason, the weather. Heat bothers me a lot. It irritates me. Not fun for me at all. Another reason is that most spots from national parks to theme parks, from beaches to local fishing holes are jampacked. And I hate crowded places that’s why I seldom go to the malls.
When the crowds had thinned out and the days had gone cooler, I go. My favorite time to go away is just after the New Year. Most places offer discounted rates for off season travels. Cruises have good deals at this time. But since there is nothing in the near horizon for me to look forward to and I sit here working my butt off (how could that be if I’m blogging), I’d give in to the call of daydreaming. And because I have not done a six pack post in a long while, I would like to list my desired destinations. Here they are in no particular order:
2. Banff
3. Galapagos Island
4. Arches National Park
5. Denali
6. Yellowstone National Park
What about you? Do you have a dream destination? I love the outdoors, nature, and photography. I think all these destinations suit me just fine.

Lovely places. I’d love to visit Arches National Park someday.
But my dream destination remains the beaches in our country. Let me qualify that by saying the beaches that are clean and not crowded. I hate the heat and the crowds too like you. Thus, I avoid places that are crowded during the season. It is hardly my idea of a relaxing break.

Would love to go to Galapagos, too! That would be a dream.

Beautiful photos. Machu Pichu looks like an incredible place worth exploring. I would love to go to Venice. I have always pictured it as a romantic place.
