As the big 4-0 looms over me like a freight train (6 months and 19 days), I’ve been thinking a lot about what I haven’t done yet in my life. It’s a big list, believe it or not. There are a lot of places I want to visit but haven’t had the opportunity, the time, or the money.
Here’s my list of dream places to travel to:
- Australia - yes, my Aussie mates, I want to come visit you. You have such a beautiful country.
- Egypt - The pyramids have always fascinated me, and I love books and movies set there. I adored The Mummy movies.
- Italy - My favorite art work is in Italy, not to mention the history. My absolute number 1 statue is La Pieta by Michelangelo and who wouldn’t want to see the Cistine chapel?
- Greece - Are we seeing a trend here? Yes, places rich in history fascinate me.
- Holland - Not just because I’m part Dutch (as is DH), but because it’s beautiful and also has a rich history.
- Scotland - Always been intrigued by Scottish history, highlanders, lowlanders, and so on. In pictures, it’s breathtaking.
Those are my top six places to visit, how about y’all?
Beth,
I vote we get rich and we can travel to all those places together. Only problem, you’ll have to hold my hand on the flight but other than that…I’m ready to see the world.

by beth March 20th, 2007 at 2:42 pmI want to go to England. As a Regency writer, I really want to see the places I keep researching. I’ve been close, but never there.

by janet March 20th, 2007 at 10:10 pmSo what part of you is Dutch? Do you stop and try to drain mud puddles? I am of Dutch ancestry and hubby was born in Holland. I love to study my heritage and would like to go to the towns where my Mother and Grandparents came from. (Daddy was born in Alberta.)
by Dianna Poke March 20th, 2007 at 10:37 pmI would like to discover my own country as well, my son is going to PEI next month and I am so jealous, I never get to go anywhere.
England. I have wanted to go there since i was a kid, I had a serious thing for Robin Hood. Since then I have added Ireland and Italy. Then i figured since I had England and Ireland then I should hop on over to Scotland while i was i nthe area ;)
