1. Where did you travel on your last vacation or other big trip?
My last vacation was to the greater Cleveland area, in October 2019, to see alifijim and his concert band. The last big trip was to greater Pittsburgh to participate in Coasting for Kids for GKTW in September 2019.

2. What was the best trip you ever took? Where did you go, and with whom, and what made it so good?
I have "two" best trips. The first was going to California, with Mum, in summer 1996. It was my graduation present, and our first time to ever go to Disneyland. We flew out, stayed at the Disneyland Hotel in an upgraded room (free snacking all day, great view), and really had the most amazing time at the park. We also went to Knotts Berry Farm, which was cool to see!

The second best trip was last year, when Bruce and I drove to Virginia for Nat's wedding and to go to the Williamsburg/Jamestown area. It was my first, big solo trip in my new life. It was a great drive, nice hotels, awesome to be with my "chosen family", and amazing to finally see the historic sights that I'd long wanted to see.

3. Where do you dream of traveling on your next vacation when it's safe to travel again?
Erie, assuming that baseball is still there come 2021.

Just this week, I was talking to Natacha about the timeline of when she would defend her dissertation (she just submitted her draft to her committee this week!). She said it's looking like February or March of 2021. I asked if she'd want her "chosen family" there to support her, since dissertations are public, and she said she'd love that. I mentioned that to dalethria and she was all excited too. So, we might have a plan for that, if it's safe to travel. That would mean a trip to Dallas, TX, and then I'd make a point to go to Memphis to see Graceland; we went there when I was 5 or 6 years old, but I only have very vague memories of it. I'd like to see it as an adult, as much of an Elvis fan as I've grown up to be.

4. Where are you likely to actually travel to on your next vacation when it's safe?
Well, Erie and Dallas would both be possible.

5. Do you prefer to vacation to new places each time or to familiar places -- or maybe you prefer to stay home?
Yes. ;)
