Country Mama
Retirement is not too far away. Googling Adventure on off-the-beaten vacation and places to go to is part of the picture in our plan we’d love to do. Can you recommend any holiday travel plans?
Husband’s fly fishing with our sons when they were younger, and when his enthusiasm was on top of the earth for him— those days of fishing expeditions would probably be last in his list. But we’d enjoy walking by the creek, lakes and taking photos of people on their boats fishing in the river.
A husband and wife get-away in a beach house and build sand castles, reminisce our honeymoon 34 years ago would be real nice. Bush walks with nature. See some flea markets. Eat out. Camp out by the fire.
Photos are my husband’s Flickr photostream.

Wow sounds like you are getting ready to have loads of fun. I love beaches and walks under the moonlight in tropical destinations.
Thank you. Looking forward to a deserved holiday. It’s one of the privileges I’m very grateful for. But first, I must save up for it first.
I do, too. My husband loves photography and I love being with him taking them. 😀
Wonderful pictures. All suggestions are unique but I would opt for the beach and sunset.
Good suggestions received. I love the quiet walk at the beach, sunrise and sunset. While my hubby takes photos, in between holding hands with him. 🙂
so it depends where you are, personally I find places I want to visit and then visit the website of the actual town.
Roanoke Virginia is an interesting place and their web site is cool.
Oak Island North Carolina is also very interesting.
Or, recently we wandered to Maine.
depends on what you really want to end up doing. restaurants always for us!
Thank you for suggestions of tour and adventure. We’ve always loved outdoors, nature, street photogarphy, beaches, country side sunsets, mountaineering, lakes, waterfalls.
i don’t know where you are but this is my favorite beach/fun destination.
you get to see wild horses!

I had a look at the website on ranches of horses. We’d love that kind of trip and walk around small country towns.
Thanks, Doc!
that is one we are doing this year! we’ve been talking about it for nearly 5 years now!
I worked for an enterprise that sells Fly Fishing adventures in the Pyrenees, in the north of Aragón, Spain. I had to contact American customers, Fly-Fishing enthusiasts and American magazines. It was a great job but to say the truth I never visited the mountains with them.
It must be an exciting job to show tourists adventurers, and fly fishing enthusiasts around, wasn’t it?
Yes, I had to contact magazines and people all around the world. It was good.
No doubt great suggestions.
We opted for package tours where we found a lot of what we were looking for.
Wonderful. We’ll look into package tours. We’ve been dreaming of visiting and touring Israel first and foremost. But that will be in a while yet to come for us. Thank you.
Wonderful photos and wonderful suggestions to spend your free time.
Thanks. There’s a lot more from where my photography are coming from. Thanks to my brilliant husband! I often suggest different angles.
These all sound like a great way to spend your time. Whatever you enjoy, do more of that!
They are, indeed. Whle writing this travel article, I was feeling nostalgic— reminiscent of our younger days. We would love to do do it again.
Absolutely, I had many good vibes as I read. Inspiring, thank you!
These are all great ways to spend your time even when you are not on vacation. I try not to miss a single sunset these days. Gorgeous photos!
We just did yesterday. In a tourist town along the Great Ocean Road. Our three children had a great relaxing, playful time at the beach!
Sounds like time well spent!
We left home at about 5 AM. The thunderstorm forecasted did not deter us from going. Even the family had warned us.Then, at about 2:30, when the signs of a thunderstorm coming (strong wind), we started unpitching our beach tent.
It was very lovely time relaxing.
Great travel guide. I love the B&W banner shot of you among the boulders.
Haha! 😀 That was really nice compliment— my husband’s skillful photography. 😀
Every year I afford 3 weeks offshore and do exactly the same things as you described, I just don’t buy diamond rings and have never
Haha! That was an expensive joke, wasn’t it? :-D.
