The idea is to connect with other awesome bloggers so take a moment to post your own FMM post and comment on a couple of other posts. Now it’s time for this week’s topic!

FMM: Travel

1. Where did your most recent trip take you?  Last road trip was last September to the southern corner of my province. Last trip actually away from here was 2004/2005 when we went from here to Mexico, then Phoenix, then Texas…..they were moves but our last holiday before that was 7 years before, so they were kind of like move/trip rolled into one I guess lol.
2. Is there a place that you’d like to visit that you haven’t yet?  If so, where?  Oh gosh, so many! I would love to just travel all around Canada and the US. There’s places overseas I would like to visit(Scotland and Ireland, yes please!), but even if money weren’t an issue I’m a little scared to fly like that.
3. Do you travel lightly, or do you cram as much into your luggage as possible?  Well, I pack for 4 so not lightly, but at the same time I try not to take more than is needed.
4. Do your eating and exercise habits change when you travel? If so, how?  There has been a couple of times in the past that we’ve gone away and I’ve been on some sort of eating plan and it definitely never sticks while we are away. Restaurants up here especially just don’t cater to a lot of different eating lifestyles.
5. Tell us about a place you’ve been that you’d like to go back to.  Mazatlan, I absolutely adore that place and have been 4 times. With the instability in Mexico, combined with lack of money I’m sure it will be a very long time before I go there again. And my inlaws have been trying to sell their home there, which means no more free accommodation for us. And Phoenix, and Dallas-Fort Worth…..LOVE both those places too and miss them so much!
6. Do you prefer to travel at a certain time of year?  Not really, if driving of course winter is bad.
7. If you had to choose, would you go to the beach or the mountains?  I love the beauty and peacefulness of the mountains, but I LOVE the beach so it would be my pick!
8. Have you ever needed a passport to travel?  We got one for our second trip to Mexico 14 years ago, we were flying and were told if flying you were better off with one. Haven’t had one since though, which is why now we can’t even drive into the US unless we buy them(for the whole family that’s a LOT of money!)…..grrrr, so stupid that we need one just to drive across the border now!
9. Do you collect anything in your travels?  No, just pictures and memories. When I was a teenager I used to collect shotglasses wherever we went, still have them.
10. Where do you plan to go next?  We are going on another road trip here in our Province again in July and another in September…just a few nights each time….hotel rooms are expensive here!
