Good morning everyone, this post is in response to Shawn’s @ Miles to Memories post from yesterday. I recommend you read that post before reading my response. I think Shawn and I have very similar thoughts on the topic, namely, travel now when you are young/healthy, rather than waiting until retirement when you have “lots of money and time to travel.” I’m not a fan of the term bucket list either, since the goal is to cross off everything on your list before you pass away. Rather than doing things and going places to cross off bucket list items, I subscribe to the notion of creating a travel wish list in my head. The more often you travel, the longer your travel wish list becomes. Here are my top 5 travel wish list items:
- Australia / New Zealand (road trip around both countries)
- Canada (road trip from coast to coast)
- Machu Picchu (going there next April)
- All of Asia (might take me a while to complete this item)
- Egypt (Great Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza)
- and a hundred other places…
