Travel dreams

I decided to copy my sister Samantha and post a travel map of the United States on which the states I've visited are highlighted. Like my sister, I seem to have a bias against the south. However, I also seem to have a bias against the mideast, the northwest, the middle states, and New England. In reality, I don't have a bias against New England, as I would love to spend more time there. Same goes for the northwest, minus Idaho. What does one do in Idaho? As for the mideast, I think Michigan would be fun and maybe some places in Ohio.

The middle two states of Kansas and Oklahoma? I honestly have no desire to visit either place. However, OK does host the women's college softball world series every year - that's at least something! I would love to go to Utah for the national parks (certainly not the politics though - do they even let gay people in?). The south would be interesting for the Civil War history, but the south actually scares me a bit - the bible belt doesn't seem to love the gays either. And of course I want to go to Hawaii...who doesn't?

Basically, this map has reminded me that I have tons more traveling to do! And that's just in the US! I've also included my global map below, and then the travel choices/dreams become simply endless. Return to France (anywhere, as I loved that country),visit Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece...you name it and I'm game. I would say Germany and Switzerland are my top two for now though.

And then there is the rest of the world - Brazil, Australia, South Africa, Canada...yep, that's right, I've never been to Canada! I definitely need to get up there, as Banff and the Canadian Rockies have been calling my name. Plus, I hear Montreal is like Europe without the jet lag. Can't beat that!

Obviously, I love to travel. Unfortunately, my time and resources are limited, just like everyone else. I do hope to make it to Europe with B relatively soon, as she's never been, and I think that would be awesome to do together. Hopefully some day soon. For now, at least a girl can look at her maps and remember the great trips already taken and also dream of the fabulous places she might go!
