Today is me working my brain.
Thought I needed another list post! Its been quite awhile- for me.
I am a lister!
I love writing these things.
So today's list-
my travel bucket list.
These are not in any particular order
(Can you tell I wish I didn't have to go to work and that I could take a trip right now in May. I haven't taken a trip in May since 1985 when I was shortly out of college, not teaching for a year, and went to Sweden for 3 weeks to visit and meet some of my slightly distant relatives.
My first trip to Europe.
OK
Get me back on track.
Here's my list. I want to ...
1-go to Newfoundland and see puffins and icebergs and the Viking settlement ruins
2-go to Montreal-oui Go someplace to practice my terrible French. It won't get better if I don't practice though.
3-Take a Slovenia and Croatia road trip
4-see Venice before it sinks.
5- go to the Greek Islands and watch the sun rise or set on a blue ocean against the white cliffs and buildings
6-walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain
(and take in Madrid and Seville while I am at it)
7-see the lavender blooming in southern France
8-drive the Ring Road in Iceland

29- Rent a house with a pool and lounge for a week in Palm Springs.
30- go to New York City at Christmas time and window shop-the window displays are suppose to be magnificent.
31-Go on an art retreat.
32-Take a literary trip. Visit Emily Dickinson's home in Amherst, Massachusetts. Mark Twain's home in Hartford, CT. Or I could make it an arty trip and visit homes of artists.
33-go on adventures, big and small-boy isn't that a broad answer, but when I write these bucket lists it only makes me think of about 100 places and thing I want to go to and try. And then there are all the things I haven't thought of or even knew existed.
Life is a grand journey, isn't it?
