Travel List Challenge

If you know anything about me at all, you know that I LOVE to travel. Seriously, I don’t care where I’m going or what for, I just love to travel. Thankfully for me, my Mikey loves to travel as much as I do. Together we’ve been to Costa Rica twice, on a cruise with the Martins to the Bahamas, walked from GA to NY together, climbed Mt. Katahdin with Loop at the end of the AT, been on a mission trip with Grace to Eluethra, and skied out in Crested Butte 3 times. It may not seem like much, but we’re working on our 3rd year of marriage, people! We’ve also been to the beach / coast of SC several times and while I count that as traveling [you do have to pack a bag!] I know most people probably wouldn’t count that. We’re currently working on an anniversary trip for our 3rd anniversary this year! We aren’t quite settled on where we’re going, but have a pretty good idea—more on that later! AND – I have a weekend trip coming up in May to visit my sweet friend Alexa in New York with my soon-to-be-married cousin, Amber! To say I’m excited for this getaway girl’s weekend is an understatement! (:
I found this Travel List Challenge and thought for sure I’d have been to more places than I have! There are a couple of places that I’ve been awfully close to, but not actually in – so I didn’t count those. This literally makes me want to pack my bag and buy an “around the world” plane ticket…do those even exist?! As soon as I checked through the list I told Mike that my passport was itchin' for another stamp, and soon! Check out the list … Where have you been that I haven’t and is it worth it!? Any recommendations from the list that are a “must see?”  (Or any that aren’t on the list?!)

this isn't the Portland Head Lighthouse [I went before I had a fancy camera, so those pictures are definitely not on my computer -- but it was close enough]

  1. Interestingly,a number of the sites are in the British Isles. Scotland and England can be traveled by motor car. London is basically just a big city, but the rest of England and Scotland have lots to offer. We would like to tour Ireland or Wales. Also, the people speak the same language, more or less! OD

  3. Have you heard of the Local Challenge? It creates a 50 list challenge of places in your local area. There is also a New York Challenge, a London Challenge and others. It's pretty awesome!
