When I was in public school, the french club went on a trip to Quebec where they stayed in a Montreal hotel and did fun things like visit a rotating restaurant (a novelty at the time). I wasn’t in french club, so going on the trip wasn’t an option for me, but I was a little jealous of my friends who did go. When I was 16 years old I had my first real taste of travel when I visited Washington DC and Orlando, Florida with my parents. It was a great trip and I loved seeing the tourist sites. I was officially bitten by the travel bug!
I entered motherhood a little younger than most, so I didn’t get to do a lot of traveling, but I never stopped wanting to go to new places and I wanted my son to experience travel too. He finally got his chance when he was in high school. He had the chance to go on a cruise to the Bahamas with the school band, and he jumped on it. He had a fabulous time and he was ready for more travels. A couple of years later, he flew off to Europe with a Youth Choir where he fell in love with the Czech Republic. I lived vicariously through his pictures!

I still have not been overseas, but I have had the chance to visit many places in the United States. I want to go so many places, that I decided to make my travel bucket list. I’m sure I will add to it over time, and I included some of the places that I have already been. It’s a mix of countries, cities, attractions and events.
