    My number one destination? Iceland. 100%.

    It’s beautiful, it’s full of nature, it’s not disgusting over populated and the best part? It’s not hot there. The weather is absolutely ideal for me. I love rain, and I love snow, and it’s never warm there. I prefer cool weather. I would thrive there. The only downside is it’s apparently very expensive there, but then again, I live in Canada and a lot of things are very expensive here as well.

    Idk man I just really want to go around Iceland and camp everywhere. I’d want to go for at least 2 weeks, probably 3. That way I could really take my time and explore and appreciate the landscape

    Pompeii isn't my cup of tea. I'd see Mt. Vesuvius before that, but at this point it's not something I'd seek out. I'd like to see more lava from a safe distance, which isn't something that can easily be guaranteed!

    Oh, yeah, that's fair. I am very much like that in real life, I hang on to everything just in case and I overpack for every single front-country trip I go on, and also was like that in camping to a lesser extent. I used to always bring lots of notebooks and a camera and an extra stash of tea and hot sauce and stuff like that.

    I've only ever gone on trips through programs where I've had really guided packing instructions, plus whatever tweaks I've learned work for me. Like the stuff I mentioned above, but also stuff like I would always bring at least one extra pair of socks in addition to my sacred socks that live in my sleeping bag, but with backpacking I was always taught "ounces lead to pounds, pounds lead to pain". I also know that on most major trails (mainly the Triple Crown ones, but probably anything longer than a couple weeks) tend to collect a lot of extra supplies in those early trail boxes from people shedding stuff they don't actually need. I never tried lightweight camping, but it seems like it would be an interesting challenge, although half of it seems to be just getting the expensive gear that weighs less than it is to actually bring less. Also much easier to bring less in warm weather than when you need a dozen layers.

    Our next trip will likely be a road trip.

    Our goal is to visit all 50 states in the US I think we have 7 checked off now.

    We have a short goal of buying a 2nd home and moving in the next 2-3 years.

    I'm not a huge fan of my job and there is talk it could be closing its doors in the next 3-5 years.

    The goal is to leave the state if that happens or before that happens so we don't have a budget for traveling the next year or two.

    The wife and I are planning for our last big vacation for a while, just us two, when the oldest kid is like 7. We're planning to go to Japan. I got a airline credit card so we could build miles and do business class the whole way. It's hard to get away so we have to plan something like this YEARS ahead of time and have my parents watch the kids. Maybe sometime before that we'll go to Argentina to see her family over there, we both really want to see the penguins at the tip of the country. We could do that with the kids though, I'm sure they'd love it.

    There's a specific museum I know is the real reason why you wanna go
    Iceland is beautiful. I'd love to make it out there one day, too.

    It's almost as if the stars are slowly aligning to help push you towards that 2nd home goal. I'm sorry to hear about your job. When do you think you'll head to your next state & where will that be?

    How old is the eldest now? How many miles are you away from your goal of business class? It sounds like a great goal to start building up for. Depending on who your card is with, there may be ways of accumulating miles faster, especially if you're willing to swap out cards (or even split your credit limit to 2 cards) during a promotion where they give bonus miles for new activations! It's not a tactic for everyone, though.. especially for those who aren't great at managing debt but it's definitely a way to fly **pinkies out**

    I also want to go to Iceland - I was there once for about 20 minutes on a layover during another flight, but my family is Icelandic and I would love to go visit!!

    So, like, when backpacking it's good to have a couple/few (depending on how long the trip is) pairs of socks to wear in rotation because if they get soaked during a river crossing or anything like that continuing to wear them can lead to all sorts of unpleasant things (think trenchfoot). But, it's good practice to always always always have a pair of socks you keep in your sleeping bag, that never leave your sleeping bag, that are waiting for you every night to keep your toes/feet warm. (Normally I cannot stand wearing socks to sleep, but camping is the exception). Even if in the morning all your other socks are damp, don't sacrifice the sacred socks. But then on the last day you can use them and it's such a nice treat.

    This is a great idea. Definitely was not thinking anywhere ball park near that. I thought they were some random pair of like whimsical pastel socks with something cute like a ramen bowl or a unicorn on it lol
    Can you tell I'm an expert camper

    omg that's so cute, though
    I was gonna say that smartwool should make cuter hiking socks but then I remembered it's been over a decade since I've had reason to buy new ones and the cycling/running socks I've bought since then had some pretty pastel stuff, so I decided to take a gander, and dang stuff really is much cuter than it was prior to 2011.
