I’ve been daydreaming about vacations I want to take. The impossible sort of vacations that I’ll probably never be able to take. Sort of once in a lifetime trips.
Bora Bora, you say? Fiji, perhaps?
No. Not even close.
I mean, if someone wanted to pay for me to go to one of those places, I sure as hell wouldn’t turn it down. But on my own dime? No way.
What I really want to do, really really want to do, is go visit the polar bears at the Hudson Bay. (And I wanted to do this even before the Olympics did a feature on it). The problem is, the package I want to do costs $10,000.
Per person.
That’s the 5 day ‘enthusiast’ package. The other options are $5k and $3k. Per person. So yeah….that’s probably not going to happen. But boy, do I love polar bears.Sigh.
The other vacation I really want to take is go to a dude ranch in Montana, or Wyoming. Just you and the cowboys, in the wild west, some horses, some cattle. Very City Slickers.
I found a really cool package at a ranch for…..$4,000 for two people, 6 nights. You get to ride horses every day and herd the cattle, and there is a spa, I think. As Aaron says, ‘We have to pay them to go do their work for them??’
I found a cowgirl camp that is women only for about $1500 per person. But what are the odds I’m going to find a few friends who want to do it with me and can take the time off work all at the same time?
Oh well. A girl can dream…
