My wife was out shopping at the time. So she comes home and the first thing out of her mouth is "Let's go somewhere next week." WTF? Hi psychic mind reading wife.
So anyway we start thinking of places we want to go and we can't narrow it down. I get the idea to write like 10-15 places down on scraps of paper and put them in a hat, and whichever one we pick we'll go to for a week. We start writing places down like New England, New York, Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, Vancouver, Seattle, and a few others. Then we look at our list and realize it's really freaking cold in almost all the cities we picked. So we scrapped that idea but I think we'll use it at some other point when it's warmer.
After discussing a bit we narrowed it down to San Diego and Napa. I wanted San Diego only because I haven't been there since college and we've already gone to Napa twice together. Obviously she wanted Napa. But then I gave in because I realized I really like the idea of drinking wine for a week again.
We decided to just wing it on everything except the plane tickets and see how that goes. It shouldn't be difficult to find a motel there in February. We've never really gone on a trip before without having most things planned ahead of time, but we're going to Europe for a month in April and want to try to do that without much of a plan, so this should be good practice. Last year in Europe we felt a little bogged down by having all of our hotels and transportation booked ahead of time because we wanted to spend longer in some places and less time in others, and it's hard to know this until you get to the places.
Sorry about the rambling!
