A perk of my job is that I get the opportunity to go places I may never get to go on my own, and on someone else’s dime. Unfortunately for my job I often have to go to places I would never go on my own (Hartford). I really have not traveled for pleasure but there are several places I have always wanted to go before I get too old to enjoy them. I can think of probably 10 or more but I will narrow to five for the sake of the reader.
Hawaii– Now I know this is cliche’ and everyone wants to go to Hawaii but I can’t pass up the opportunity to see a place in America that is that beautiful. I also think the underwater opportunities there are amazing. They have little submarines you can go in to see all the sea life and whatnot. I am a sucker for fish and creatures that call the ocean home. I would also like to clarify for Kyle that a sea urchin is different from an urn. It can get confusing when words start with the same letter Kyle, don’t feel bad.
London– There is so much history in England and London especially. I would really like to see where Austin Powers was filmed and maybe check out Buckingham Palace. The royalty thing is very interesting and seeing as though I have never been out of the country I would like to see things in countries that aren’t America but still speak American. Also I plan to spend an entire day driving in circles saying, “Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament.”
Alaska– What a place to investigate the wild and wilderness of the great white north. I think a summer trip to the other random American state would be pretty exciting. I would like to cruise this area and bring a few memory cards for my camera. Polar bears would be numerous with penguins and seals torpedoing through the waters like, well, torpedos. The cool temps would be quite exhilerating and I could wear sleeves so I wouldn’t have to change my style.
Ireland– I have long wanted to see castles and very old structures that were built long before America was even concieved. I think the highlight for me would be that everyone would come to me and tell me that I look really tan. You know I might actually move to Ireland and become a pinup model. Remind me to look into that. Also I would like to visit the Lucky Charms factory. I know leprachauns aren’t real but I would like a picture of the marshmallow tree. I might even pick a few fresh off the branch if I can get away with it.
Australia– This would be the ultimate. It seems so amazing when I see pictures of all the natural wonders this country has to offer. From coral reefs to animals who carry other animals in pouches, Australia has it all in a travel destination. I would imagine there are many friendly people there and dingos which enjoy eating babies. These are things that are necessary when one vacations.
There you have it. Five spots I would like to go someday. Only thing I need is a travel partner… and money… and free time. Once I get all that, consider me gone.
