I have always had a deep love to Travel, maybe it
stems from our family always taking summer vacations. We almost always went to California to visit
and stay with family during our summer breaks and with each vacation there was always some new and
exciting adventures to add to my sweet traveling memories as a child. I think it was the point of leaving home,
where you're most comfortable, making new friends and getting to experience
different places that “home” didn’t have. I can recall once I was lucky to be old enough
to travel back to California with family visiting our home in Idaho. That was the best staying with my favorite
cousin & her brothers without the worries of having my parents or siblings
there to pester me. I found that after a
few days I started to realize just how much I missed them being around. So my love of Travel began and what a big
world it is out there with so many places & adventures that await my
longing to fall in love with it.
So here it goes………….My Bucket List of Travel Must See’s &
Do’s
Paris - Eiffel Tower
A place I have a current obsession about because of its allure
and romantic past. I remember my mom telling
me all about her senior trip to Europe and her getting to see the Eiffel Tower in
person. I thought she was the coolest
mom!! I loved holding, when she would
let me, her little Eiffel Tower she brought from Paris…..still do!! ;)
Castles of Europe
Something truly fascinating about any castle in Europe…..what
little girl didn't dream of living in a faraway land as a princess in her own
castle!! This one is my favorite....Neuschwanstein Castle, SW Bavaria, Germany!! <3 Many many of my younger years
& hours were spent pretending to be that princess. How incredible would that be to have that
come true even if for just a day! <3
Denmark
My lovely great grandparents, my mom’s father, my grandpa William and both his parents, Claus & Katie, were Danish. Oh to see where
they came from....would be inspiring. Secretly as a little
girl I dreamed that one day I would find out I was a Danish Princess. (Something not shared with many until now!)
Italy
Yes the whole country from Marsala to Rome, Tuscany region
to Milian. Oh must not forget Venice.
Australia & New
Zealand
While working as a travel agent I was once told by a client
who had been to both countries, if you were going to travel to Australia make sure
and visit there first because once you go to New Zealand you will just want to
return to visit there. Maybe I'll just plan to visit New Zealand since its been recommended over Australia!!
Caribbean Islands
My first time going on a cruise and it was a Southern
Caribbean one…….Amazing!! I would go
back in a heartbeat to explore these beautiful & exotic places. Each island proves to be both culturally different &
unique. "A dream is a wish your heart makes" This is me riding a horse on the beach in Aruba!! I always told myself that was a dream of mine...I was finally giving the opportunity to make that wish come true!!

Lake Retba
Other
names, Senegal or as the French refer to it Lac Rose. Just to be surrounded in lovely pink
water! .......Sigh
Since there are just too many lovely places to mention perhaps
I will turn this post into a series so bonjour for now .
