Through my 53 years of life I have always fancied myself as a bit of an adventurer. Generally my adventures involved Disney, but every so often my family and I would explore other parts of the country and sometimes the world. I have seen whales in Maine, viewed an avalanche above a mountain lake in Montana, and of course discovered my love for Haiti. And I'm not stopping there! I see even more adventures on the horizon, five of which I will share in just a moment.
So where did my thirst for adventure begin? Possibly it began when I was very young and living with my Mom and Dad. Because my Mom never could settle down on a place I had been moved over thirty times all across the country. Some of my favourite states we stayed in were Colorado, Florida, and Virginia. (Which is a good thing because I'll be in Virginia for the next 15 years!) When I got out of college I continued the trend of moving around until I met my Prince and well, you basically know the story from there. The longest we ever stayed in one place was eight years, but I guess I'll be breaking that record soon!
My love for adventure was inherited by my three sleeping beauties (some more extreme than others) and they continued the trend of traveling. My middle child has even just returned from a ten month trip to Great Britain where she had the chance to go to Macedonia, Bosnia, Spain, Wales, Turkey, Scotland, etc.!
And now for the list of the top five places I would like to visit!
1. Australia--This has always been a dream for me ever since I was little. However, this particular adventure has been on the horizon for years and as of right now it's going to stay there for a while still.
2. Norway--My desire to visit this country is fairly recent. I know what you're thinking. That it was inspired by the movie Frozen, but I had it a little before then. Frozen just helped to strengthen this wish for adventure.
3. New Zealand--New Zealand for me goes hand in hand with Australia. The sprawling mountains, the lush, green fields, and the scenic, ocean views...all of which have inspired fantastical stories! Who wouldn't want to go see that?
4. Hawaii--Surfing, volcanoes, and gorgeous island locations. Need I say more?
5. Japan--Tokyo Disney...I'm sure there's more to it like Mt. Fuji, but I'm still stuck on Tokyo Disney here!
Well that's a wrap on this post. Now it's time to embark on my adventure. I'll miss posting in the next couple of weeks, but maybe I'll have stories to tell when things are less busy. Until then...
Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy
