50. A little spendy

But the last "big" vacation my SO and I took. Amtrak's Empire Builder Milwaukee to Seattle. Got a sleeper room. This is a fantastic way to travel.

In Seattle, we rented a Mustang convertible for the week, toured the Cascades, parts of central Washington, then back for three days at Lake Crescent, time to tour Olympic NP:

This was 6 years ago, I grateful we're still together. A big part of life is creating good memories. This trip had so many good ones.

The lodge was great. Olympic NP has it all, fantastic ocean front, temperate rain forests, the Sequoias, mountains and glaciers. Wow.

Banff is cool and the setting is great. Don't forget about Lake Louise, which is not far away. Jasper is a little more rustic, which we prefer. If you are going to one, you might as well give yourselves time to see Jasper as well. The drive between the two is spectacular. B-)

I had a dream once that I moved to that area. A very real seeming dream.

Sometimes I have dreams like that and it seems odd. I've never been to Banff, but I've seen pics.

I dreamed in such detail about the area with few pics really to have that kind of detail.

65. I Would Love To

and maybe that will be on my list for this next year

One other place that was really strange that I dreamed about once:

I dreamed I was riding in the back of a realtor's car in Wilmington, Massacheussetts.

Now, I'd never heard of that town, nor do I live anywhere near there (Arkansas) and really doubted there was a place until I picked up a map and found it. Tiny little berg that is just outside of Boston.

That one freaked me out.

I'd say that you have conflicting past lives duking it out, but I really don't believe in that stuff. I do believe that dreams can be kind of an internal Greek Chorus that provides some self-commentary and insight into your life.

67. Yes, I'm A Believer That Dreams Are

a connection to the unconscious mind, which is able to transcend the reality that we see, think and feel with our conscious mind. I mean that it is aware of any number of things simultaneously and is able to be aware of things that may not even be in this particular plane of existence

so, that being said, I have no idea about that dream. It was about 12 years ago and I've never been to Wilmington Massachusetts although at one point I worked for a company that had a program they operated very close to there in a suburb of Boston.
