My List

So I've mentioned that I have a "list" of places I want to visit, well here it is. Keep in mind that I have had this list since I was a kid.

1. Kodiak Island, AK, USA
2. Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare, Ireland
3. Stonehenge, Wiltshire Co., UK
4. Machu Picchu, Peru
5. Northern Territory, Australia

6. Glasgow, Scotland, UK
7. Denali National Park, AK, USA
8. Bavaria, Germany
9. The Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
10. Yellow Stone National Park, Wyoming, USA

So there you have it. The first five are the ones from when I was a kid. I tried to be exact as possible but I would be more than happy to just visit some of the countries of the places I have listed. There are about five more places but that's for another time.

So maybe you are asking yourself why these places? Here is a brief explanation.

1. Ever since I was a little kid Alaska has always intrigued me. I also have a soft and special spot for bears (ask my buddy Jon about the spirit of the bear, funny story). My Great Grandpa used to give me National Geographic mags to look at as a kid and I've been hooked from the first time I saw pictures of the bears in the river. So that tops the list.

2. Part of my family came from County Clare in Ireland in the late 19th century. I used to hear stories of the beauty of the cliffs and country side. Oh, and I love the accent.

3. Are you kidding? Who wouldn't want to see this thing. So much we don't know. Have I mentioned I love Archaeology? You do the math.

4. C'mon, this place screams beauty, ancient history, mystery! The location alone amazes me!

5. It's Australia. I've always had a thing for the place ever since I saw the Dundee movies!
