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.

ReplyDeleteHaha! You *are* The Queen :D
DeleteFrom your bucket list, I've only been to France and Italy, but I do like all of the other places you chose.
ReplyDeleteIrene
France AND Italy? Lucky! I always thought it would be fun to go to France with you (plus, your French is probably better than mine lol!)
Delete:) Dollface, I think going anywhere with friends that love to travel would be fun. I dunno about my French being better than yours. Only one way to find out.
DeleteHaha! I'm down for it :)
DeleteI would gladly go with you to Scotland, New Orleans, France, Italy, Thailand, any island just to lay on the beach, and drive to New York!! To do just the above would take us a year (at least) just so we take in sights and explore the places properly. :) Ya know?! -Leta <3
ReplyDeleteExactly! You can't check something off the list unless you've exhausted it. I think it would be great fun to exhaust things with you lolol! <3
DeleteJackson, Tennessee, is ground zero for lightning bugs. There are nights they are in my yard by the thousands.
ReplyDeleteI thought you had them there. I need to get myself to Tennessee...
DeleteYou put a great deal of effort into creating this post. I am impressed.
DeleteIf you're happy, then I'm happy :)
DeleteSounds like s blast!! I’ll help drive the bus. In the country areas. Cali doesn’t have fire flies??? They are all over Maine.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever see Busting Loose with Richard Pryor? He repeats one line throughout the movie: "I just drive the bus!" lol! I use that line a lot. And I don'think we have fireflies here, I've never seen them.
DeleteAnd be careful, I just might take you up on that offer ;)
Do NOLA in April. The flowers are out. The weather hasn't gotten hot yet and the bugs are manageable.
ReplyDeleteI've been working on a one lap of America trip for several years. Hopefully, I'll get it done before I get too old.
I bet April would be pretty. I'm good with heat, if it's a dry heat. But I have a feeling it get humid there.
DeleteIt IS the definition of humidity.
DeleteWanderlust at its best!!! And I can vouch that you are indeed the best travel buddy!!
ReplyDeleteMy yard is loaded with fireflies. I love road trips. I and my friends go on one every other year. In 2019 we are taking a steamboat down to the gulf of Mexico and then driving to Mobile Al. and then back to MI. I can't wait...Oh and I love traveling and would ove to take all your trips with you.
ReplyDeletea long list with some great adventures awaiting you. The cross country road trip sounds divine. although being an east coast boy I'd want to drive it from the east to the west
ReplyDeleteNo trip to Mars on your list, Commander K is crushed. 8 points earthling
ReplyDeleteMartien
I’d be up for most places! I can help with #5, we could drink wine at the winery in my backyard and watch fireflies by our firepit! Xoxo
