I prefer them so I am back in my bed that night. Hate hotels.

My FAVORITE day trip so far has been to Lexington, Virginia. One hour away from where I live in Cave Spring, Virgunia.

Hey there, Spring!

I'm hoping to travel to Panama within the next 5 or so months; have been checking into the culture, languages, lifestyle there, and pretty positive results.

Would so appreciate anyone currently there or with experience there offering their advise.

Thanks in advance, and happy travels!

My husband and I just finished a 3 month road trip. We pet sit around the USA and Europe. We started in our hometown of Asheville NC and drove to southern California and back and had pet sits along the way. It's a great way to travel and really cuts down on expenses. In 4 weeks we head to Austin TX for a 3 week pet sit. We love Austin!

(2/29/24) @BarbaraV0124 , what an AWESOME way to vacation!!!  💃💃💃

I am going to look into Pet Sitting..  😎

IIf you would like any further information from a pet sitter point of view, we have a website SitStayTrips.com. I set it up when we first started pet sitting. I just started a blog on how we became pet sitters after we retired. We are members of TrustedHousesitters.

Favorite location to pet sit? We have some favorite pet sits we like to go back to, this one in Austin is at the top of our list. We tend to head to the West and Southwest. We were in southern California for a great pet sit with an incredibly good dog and fell in love with the area. Seattle is somewhere we're always looking to get back to. Europe again is on our radar.

[SpringIsHereSoHappy]

(3/30/24) Yes @BarbaraV0124 , pet sitting. Europe sounds EXCITING!!!  👍

(4/7/24) After Austin, Texas @BarbaraV0124 , do you know where your NEXT destinaton is?  🤔

By the way, and you may have already mentioned - are you guys driving a camper?  🤔

[BarbaraV0124]

No destinations on the horizon. We like to spend summers at home in the mountains.

[SpringIsHereSoHappy]

Thank you SO MUCH for responding! 👵

No we have an SUV that we outfitted so we can car camp if we wish. In between sits we either use hotel points for a hotel or go to a campground. In some instances we've been known to use a rest area 😊
