I am linking up with Running on Happy & Fairytales and Fitness for the Friday Five 2.0 linkup!
Join in! Don’t forget to link back to your hostesses and visit some other bloggers.
This week, the theme is Dream Vacations or Winter Destinations
For a Winter Destination, of course, it would have to be someplace warm and a place that has a half marathon:
1. Key West, FL.
I have always wanted to go to Key West. (I mean, I am a Parrothead lol) and I’ve heard that this January Half has a beautiful course.
2. New Orleans, LA
I was in NOLA years ago for a conference and loved it – the food, the language, the atmosphere and it would be cool to go back and run this race. (I did sign up for this March race but just can’t afford it this year.)
3. Bermuda
Blue skies, blue water, white sands…ahhh!
4. San Diego, CA
I also visited San Diego for a conference and thought it was the perfect city to live.
5. Puerto Rico
Who doesn’t like an all women’s race where it is warm?
Now for Dream Vacations, that would involve more travel (and again, there would have to be a race involved):
1. Paris
This is my favorite city in the world and I haven’t been there in many years. I love everything about the French culture.
2. Alaska
I’d love to take a cruise there. I’ve heard wonderful things about Alaska.
3. Hawaii
Another place that seems so beautiful that I want to experience it in person.
4. African Safari
I love animals!!! Lions, Tigers, Giraffes….oh my!
5. Iceland or Vietnam
I’d love to visit either or both.
Iceland
Vietnam
I’m not sure I’ll get to any of these places but a girl can DREAM!
Happy Running! So where do you dream about going this winter or anytime?
My First 5K and More... 
Great list! A lot of these are on my list too 🙂 I’ve still never been to New Orleans and I’d love to change that with a racecation 🙂

I would love to run a race in NOLA! I did RnR San Diego last year and it was such an awesome expeirence.

Wow! You have quite a list. I have been to New Orleans several times but never to run. I would love to go back to run a race while I am there. That way I won’t feel so guilty indulging in all that delicious food the city has to offer.

Absolutely nothing wrong with dreaming, and if we are going to dream then dream big like this, right!
I hope you do make it to some of these places. A few on your list I have been to and ran races while there, and a few others like an African Safari would definitely be a dream trip for sure!!!

I love NOLA but I don’t think I want to run there. Bermuda would be pretty sweet, tho!

I’d like to do an Alaskan cruise as well! I have read and heard that it’s the best way to see Alaska!

I’d be up for any/all of your picks. Bermuda would be a little hot for me racing wise. So is Puerto Rico. But I could fun run. I’d go back to Alaska in a heartbeat.

When I did Ragnar Miami to Key West it was really fun! I haven’t ever run an entire race there, but this summer I may do a 5k there while my husband does his SUP race.
I’d love to race in San Diego! The weather is just always so perfect!!
