A Trip for the Generations
FORREST AND MEGHAN PLESKO
|
BARTON-UNDER-NEEDWOOD, ENGLAND
Forrest and Meghan Plesko have always enjoyed traveling the
world as a family, and their recent seven-day trip to Central
England was no exception. This vacation was an extra-special
event, as Forrest’s father joined the group for the first time
since his wife unexpectedly passed away three years earlier.
“It was an emotional experience,” recalls Forrest, “but we were
also grateful to be able to go.” Along with their 3-year-old son,
also named Forrest, the foursome got settled at their home
base at Wychnor Park Country Club in Barton-under-
Needwood, rented a minivan, and took off. “Besides visiting
tourist hotspots such as Stonehenge, Stratford-upon-Avon,
and Bath, we spent some time off the beaten path,” Forrest
says. Such sites included the historic town of Shrewsbury; the
sprawling medieval Worcester Cathedral; and what was per-
haps most enjoyed by the toddler in tow: An afternoon of play
at Thomas Land, a theme park based on the children’s show
Thomas and Friends
.
Paradise Found
KELLY AND DENNIS ANDERSON

GRENADA
Seeking a tropical escape, Kelly and Dennis Anderson traveled
to the Caribbean isle of Grenada for a two-week exchange at
the Blue Horizons Garden Resort. “I cannot begin to tell you how
beautiful Grenada is,” Kelly says. “The breathtaking scenery,
especially Grand Anse Beach, blew us away.” Beyond its beauty,
the Andersons also found Grenada to be exceptionally wallet-
friendly. “The exchange rate was great,” recalls Kelly. “We literally
only spent $600 … for two weeks’ stay [including] food, drink,
T-shirts, gas, etc. We did make all of our meals, so that made it
very affordable.” The couple’s favorite activity? Spending days
taking in the seemingly never-ending expanse of breathtaking
scenery, whether on Grand Anse Beach or in L’Anse Aux Epines,
a lush coastal community on the southern tip of the island. They
loved their experience so much, Kelly is daydreaming of a post-
retirement future living on Grenada half of the year.
