WQW #44: Memorable Trips

Writer’s Quotes Wednesdays

“Laughter is an instant vacation.”

Milton Berle

For More Memorable Trips Visit These Blogs

Good morning friends. I am sitting in our former rental condo using my phone. The Internet will get hooked up tomorrow. I’m not great at using my phone to publish. LOL

As you all know, in September I flew to Portland, Oregon to meet blogger friends. From there Terri Webster Schrandt and I drove to the Spokane area to visit her new home.

Little Spokane River

Tell me about your memorable trip using at least one quote and link to this post. I will publish your links from this week and last week in next week’s WQW.

I’ll be back next week. I will visit you between now and then.

Lots of love and have a wonderful week before Thanksgiving.

Hi, I’m Marsha Ingrao, a retired educator and wife of a retired realtor. My all-consuming hobby is blogging and it has changed my life. My friends live all over the world. In November 2020, we sold everything and retired to the mile-high desert of Prescott, AZ. We live less than five miles from the Granite Dells, four lakes, and hundreds of trails with our dog, Kalev, and two cats, Moji and Nutter Butter. Vince’s sister came with us and lives close by. Every day is a new adventure.

    yes, indeed, laughter is an instant vacation. And the sound of flowing rivers? mesmerizing, isn’t it?

      I love rivers of all sizes and shapes. The noisy ones are more fun than the quiet ones, but I love them all.

    Hi Marsha! Saw your subject on Terri’s post today and had to link mine which features several trips to our national parks, among my very favorite ever. Absolutely loved your image of Little Spokane! https://travelsandtrifles.wordpress.com/2022/11/26/lens-artists-challenge-227-home-sweet-home/

      Thanks, Tina. I saw that when I read Donna’s post that we had the same subject. Great minds run along the same paths. LOL

            Sounds good! Due to 2 upcoming trips, we’ll need to look at late January. It’s a warm winter so far, so I don’t think snow is gonna be an issue. 🌞

      Cindy’s condo. She never got internet. It was a 1031 exchange – a legal way to buy and sell rental property without having to pay the taxes. You can’t live in the property for two years, then you can move in. If you live in it for two more years you don’t pay taxes if you sell at least federal taxes. If you don’t sell, you don’t have to pay the taxes on the increase- which is substantial if you have had rental property for a long time. That’s a long answer for a short question.

      That’s a great one, Frank. Lots of great reasons to travel, and an honest eval of comfort. Generally the best stories come from all the travel mishaps. Then as time passes they blend into the bigger picture kind of like footprints in the sand.
