Yesterday we reviewed 2018 with the list of 12 amazing places I saw in 2018, and asked you to share your best 2018 trips. Today, as we continue closing out 2018, it’s time to look ahead to 2019

I actually only have one trip (mostly) booked, and that’s a trip early in 2019 to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios Orlando

Other than that, the 2019 travel calendar has only a few basic ideas with no concrete plans yet. Here’s what we’re looking at

  • My son picked his long-distance date and wants to go to Morocco. The plan is to use Citi ThankYou points to transfer to Etihad to book business class on Royal Air Maroc (JFK-CMN)
  • Another of my sons was looking at a trip to Vermont (one of the last few states he hasn’t been to)
  • My daughter wants to go with mom to New York City
  • I’d like to take a trip with my wife (perhaps over spring break) to Tokyo to do the “Mario Kart” on-street go-kart racing before Nintendo sues them out of business 🙂
  • This summer, we’re planning on taking the 8 of us on a ~3 week trip to Europe, most likely focusing in Madrid / Barcelona
  • After hearing about our all-inclusive trip to Jamaica, my daughter wants to try out an all-inclusive relaxing vacation
  • And we’ll probably have a few other family trips sprinkled around in 2019.

What about you? Where is 2019 taking you? Leave your trips and dreams in the comments!
