Yeah, most of them are because I have friends who have been abroad in those places and they've been amazing and now I want to go have the same adventures! Also I've already been to the south of france, but it's easily my favorite place I've ever been, it was just so incredibly beautiful. Nice especially. I would almost be ready to sell all the stuff I made/bought for my little next semester to go back (well, almost)!

AlphaFrog, where is this?

You're making me jealous that we didn't get to the Isle of Skye.

San Andres-Tuxtla, Veracruz, Mexico - this is the Salto de Eyipantla. It's about an hour north of the in-laws. They live on the side of a mountain in a quiet little village and it is BEAUTIFUL. It was the most stress-free ten days of my adult life - and it was the first time I met my in-laws. If it weren't for the crappy school system, I'd move there in a heartbeat.

The Isle of Skye is gorgeous, I've been there. You have to catch it on a (rare!) sunny day though. If it rains, it really rains. Gets very misty too.


Bavaria is also very beautiful, easy to travel as well. Great public transport and the roads are good. Great for traveling with kids.



One thing I forgot on my to do list:
me and my BF are planning a roadtrip through the Southern/Western States (from Key West, via Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas , New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada to LA) Probably going to be summer of 2014

I'm studying abroad in Prague next summer, and am really looking forward to that. I've wanted to go for years!

I'd like to visit Israel again, Birthright was so much fun when I went along with making so many memories. I hope to be able to travel there for a month or so after I finish Grad School.

Yah, I know, I have a thing for countries with M's.

Dad wants to a father-daughter bonding trip to India so I will go there.

I've been to Puerto Rico quite a bit (estimating around 15 times). I have family there and back in '07 my parents bought a home there, so I'm quite familiar. If anyone is interested in traveling there, I HIGHLY recommend venturing outside of San Juan. San Juan is just another big city. My family & parents home is on the west side of the island. Lots of really pretty beaches over there! Of course there's also the big rain forest El Yunque (I've only been there once, I was little), awesome surfing in Rincon and I believe I have heard the beaches in Vieques are stunning. There's also really cool caves to explore in different parts of the island. Just go beyond San Juan!!

As far as I want to go, I'd love to go to the following:

England (my husband makes fun of me, but honestly my biggest reason is I want to see a bunch of Beatles stuff. So sue me.)
Brazil
Germany, preferably if we could catch some of Oktoberfest
Spain
Italy

Here's my current bucket list
1-Machu Picchu (along with Galapagos where I am looking forward to snorkeling)
2-Rome
3-Croatia
4-safari
5-India safari
6-Norwegian Fjords
7-Alaska cruise-tour
8-Kauai and Oahu
9-Tahiti, probably via cruise on Paul Gauguin
10-river cruise through Germany, Austria and Hungary

Except for Machu Picchu being at the top of my bucket list, the rest are inter-changeable as far as where they fall. One of my clients just picked up her documents for her trip to Costa Rica and Peru and I'm SOOOOO jealous. 2 weeks, everything top of the line. Perfect.

I would love to visit the Brazilian Rainforest, too. I mean, it's just that there are so many bugs, spiders, reptiles, etc. there that I would never be able to see here in the states. Not even a zoo could contain all that is there.

Adding to my list, I've been on a Med cruise, but I really want to go on Celebrity Reflection, and the Reflection Suite in particular. The shower is cantilevered out over open air and then the sea! Cool.
