planning a grand trip

It is January and I am already dreaming of vacation. Maybe because it is January, I am dreaming of vacation. 

Here is what I am wishing for/ dreaming of: a great niece and nephew tour.

The way I feel about my nieces and nephews is fairly well documented.

I don't see any of them nearly enough. 

Some of them I don't see even remotely enough, due to the distance which separates them from me.

On vacation this year, I would like to remedy that.

I would like to take a trip and plan the stops according to the locations of my grand nieces and nephews.

I have the route in mind.

I would like, even, on the return trip, to swing by and see certain friends I don't see nearly enough of.

But that trip is for another blog post...
