Jeremiah brought home a book from school yesterday, on loan from his teacher, his new favorite teacher ever because of her policy on re-taking tests. The book was called 1000 Places to see before you Die, the US and Canada version. I counted and I have been to 142 of them. I consider myself fairly well travelled in the US at least, and have been to Canada a couple times too. But that left 758 places left I've never seen that are recommended by...the authors of the book, I didn't get inquisitive enough to see who they are...and I don't think I'll make it to most of them in the years I have left. Before I Die...what a creepy title. I guess it's the whole Bucket List thing.
There are places I want to go before I kick the bugkit...
Italy
Barcelona
Greece
My Own Private Caribbean Island
On a date with a man again, just once, out to dinner...
See, I have a pretty reasonable, short list. Or short, anyway.
And...several places on the list of 142 where I've been I would like to revisit. Wrigley Field, of course. The Canadian Rockies. In fact, if I had lots of money I'd like to stay at the Lake Louise hotel. Instead of just sneaking into it and using their pool, hot tub, and lobby on a rainy day when I was camping nearby. Oh yes.
Well these are things I could do with time and money and some effort.
Here are somethings I'd like to see but can't control whether I will or not:
Cubs win a World Series.
Peace in Middle East (then I would add that area of the world to my travel list!)
What the heck...peace in the whole world
Which of those is more likely? Hmmmm.

When you have a lot of money and can pay for my ticket, I would like to go with you.
Once we are there, we can find a man. For you.
