It's My Blog Birthday!

Wednesday, August 15, 2018 18:18

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Whoa! You guys! I’ve been blogging here for EIGHT years (on Monday)! What the what? That seems crazy, right? I’ve loved bringing you guys all my best travel tips and photos from my travels. Well, it’s not going to stop, and my next book is in the works. I’m hoping to have it available before Thanksgiving.

Usually I try to bring you some awesomeness from the year, which I will, but I’d also like to do a bit of a wish list for my travels. Since I’ve just turned 8, I’m going to do a list of 8 places. If you’ve been reading for a while, you know I’ll be headed to Philly later this year, I’m probably in LA right now, and I’m planning a trip to Scotland/London next year for my husband’s cousin’s wedding. Here are 8 other wishlist destinations, in no particular order.

1. San Antonio

We just reconnected with some long-time friends that I’ve known for practically my whole life. I’ve been very lucky to count a handful of people among my chosen family. Some of them live in San Antonio, so my mom and I are planning a side trip from Las Vegas to spend a few days in Texas to sightsee and spend some quality time with our chosen family.

2. IcelandI’ve had Iceland on my list for a long time. I’m shooting for 2021, because why not? I know several people who’ve gone and their pictures look amazing and I just can’t even wait. Can I even tell you how much I want to sit in a geothermal spring and eat cod that was cooked by the same thing that heated the water? Why does that sound so intriguing to me? I don’t know, but the fact that the people of Iceland also believe in elves and I can see the Northern Lights there, I’m willing to try to figure out how to pronounce some of their gigantic words and also eat some gross fish dishes at unreasonable prices.

3. Toronto

I have been dying to go to Toronto. Is that weird? I blame Barenaked Ladies, but that’s okay. I’m okay with being weird. I don’t know that much about it, but they have something like a Space Needle and different foods and they have a Harry Potter-ish themed bar called The Lockhart. That’s not my main draw, because I rarely drink, but I wouldn’t be opposed to checking it out. Anyone been to Toronto? I need tips.

4. Orlando My BFF’s daughter is going to graduate in 2020 and her pick for her graduation present trip was Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. They asked if we would come along. Heck yeah! There’s not much that can keep me from Diagon Alley…plus there’ll be a new ride (or rides and/or food) and I need a new wand and a reason to run around in a Quidditch costume. I mean, really, who doesn’t need that with a side of Butterbeer?

5. Tokyo Disneyland

Ah yes, Tokyo itself sounds really amazing, and I’m going to make it there one day, but one of the attractions I am dying to see is the Japanese version of my favorite theme park. It’s so different, yet I know it will probably still feel like home, but probably with more politeness. How can this not be on my list? Also, is it weird that I kind of want to spend a night in a capsule hotel? Yes? Okay then.

6. TurkeyThis is the ultimate budget travel destination on my list. Once you fly there, everything is quite affordable, plus it’s not like your typical European destination. I want to visit Cappadocia and sleep in a cave hotel and go on a hot air balloon ride and take a ride on a yacht. I mean, don’t all those things sound just the coolest? Everywhere else this would cost a fortune, but not in Turkey!

7. Greece & MaltaIf you’ve ever seen a picture of the gorgeous Greek seaside, you won’t wonder why this is on my list, or really anyone’s list. Between the Mediterranean, the food and the people, this is really quite high up on my Life List. And since Malta is, literally, right there, there’s no reason to skip it. I blame old World’s Strongest Man competitions for making me drool over this destination. It’s small, it’s beautiful and it invokes a little bit of Greek heaven. I guess I better get to work on the elliptical, so my legs can handle the millions of steps I’ll have to climb on my trip.

8. Spain

How am I ever going to test out my Spanish if I don’t go anywhere that speaks it? That can’t be the only excuse to visit Spain though. The buildings, the history, the landscape. I just want to wander the villages and eat tapas my whole vacation.
