Bucket List, Take One




While I could write a million poems inspired by Anais Nin quotes, my hometown doesn’t inspire me the same way.  Instead of poetry, I will share some of the places on my Bucket List that I would like to visit, in no particular order.
 

1.    Scotland, again - While pretty much exploring the entirety of Scotland is on this list, I dream of devoting an entire month to the Isle of Skye, preferably in a thatched roof cottage.  *sighs*  Who wants to join me in that dreamy local, exploring the Querying, Fairy Glen and the Fairy Pools?
 
 
 
 

 
 
2.   New Orleans (but not during Mardi Gras because that would be insane).  I imagine Bourbon Street would be a really fun mixture of great music and food.  Oh yeah, and booze :P
 
 

3.    Africa – An African safari would be a thrilling adventure, which must include a stay at Giraffe Manor.  This is definitely Top Three material.
 


 

4.    France – In particular, (a) Paris *le sigh* (b) The Louvre, and (c) Givenry, where I could spend an entire blissful day in Monet’s gardens.
 

 

5.    Some nonspecific place where I can see fireflies in person.  I think that would be spectacular.
 
 

6.    I’ve always wanted to drive cross-country to New York.  I kinda think that would be the ultimate road trip.
 
 
To quote one of my favorite bands:
“Take a road trip.  Go soul deep.”
 
 

7.    DeAnna and I have talked about walking the Camino de Santiago, so that would be cool (I still need to see that movie you told me about, but I don’t remember what it’s called).
 
 

8.    Italy – Also near the top of my Bucket List is a stay in Cinque Terre.  Even though Italian food is my least favorite - I don’t like marinara sauce and can’t stand cooked tomatoes *shudders*  I will even scrape the sauce off my pizza if I feel there’s too much on there.  But there’s always pesto, right?

 


9.     Thailand – because Thai food is the bomb!  Plus, I imagine it's breathtaking  there.
 
 

10.  This place:  
 
 
 
     I don’t know where this is, it could be anywhere.  Surprise me.  Just take me to a warm, tropical beach island.  You can even ‘forget’ to bring me home, and I wouldn’t mind at all.
