In all honesty, I haven’t been anywhere. The furthest away I have gone was to Puerto Rico, and that was not even out of the US. So I guess you could say that I really have not experienced any of our worlds amazing places. That is the downside, but the upside would be that you’ll never hear me say “Oh, I have already been there a bunch of times”. I guess, in the future, I’ll be able to look forward to visiting new places all the time, rather than be bored to tears with the old ones. Speaking of the future, there are plenty of places that I wish to travel to, and hopefully some of them will not be in the too distant future.
Okay, don’t laugh. I have never been to Disney World or for that matter, Florida itself. So of course, Disney would be on my list for places to visit. I guess the reason my family has never really considered Disney, is because my mom and I are not roller coaster fans. Both of us are horrible on roller coasters, so we just stay away from them. Of course, I know that there is more to Disney than its huge rides, such as Epcot or MG Studios. These are the places I really wish I could visit. I’m sure that Disney is a more memorable experience if you go as a little kid, when Goofy, Mickey, Minnie, and Donald Duck are huge idols to you. My age does not really matter to me; I would still want to go to Disney even if I was in my twenties. Disney sounds like an amazing place, so hopefully I will be able to go there soon.
Europe is also another place I hope to see very soon. Anywhere in Europe would be amazing. Italy, Spain, England, France, Greece and Ireland are my top places, mostly because a lot of my heritage comes from these places. Ireland has the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen. The mountains and coast line are absolutely remarkable and are completely breathtaking. Spain and Italy just sound like a bunch of fun. Spain with its food, entertainment, and history make it seem like such a wonderful place to visit. I just want to go to Italy to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. England and France have unbelievable sites and food as well. Paris and London are said to be two of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The Eiffel Tower is definitely a place I wish to visit. In London, all I need to do is ride on the top deck of a double Decker bus. I don’t know why, but that would be the highlight of my trip to England. Lastly, I want to go to Greece. After seeing both the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants one and two, I want so badly to take a vacation to Greece. It sounds like the most breathtaking place in the world, considering the bleach white houses against the crystal blue ocean. The weather and food is supposed to be absolutely remarkable. If there was only one place in Europe that I could visit, it would be Greece. I guess the next time my family or I need a vacation, Europe certainly holds plenty of options for a memorable experience.
Continuing even further away from Holliston, another place I wish to see is New Zealand. I’m not sure if anyone else watches this show, but The Bachelor just recently concluded its thirteenth season, and the last three episodes were in New Zealand. After seeing the landscape of this country pop up on the TV screen multiple times, New Zealand was added to the list of places to see in a heartbeat. The beaches and mountains looked so unbelievable and relaxing even on the TV. And while I am already there, I might as well take a side trip to Australia, and visit Sydney and the kangaroos. :)
One of the last places I want to go to would be the islands of Hawaii. I have been to Puerto Rico and the beaches and weather there were absolutely outstanding. Hawaii has its beaches and weather just like Puerto Rico, so it should be just as fun. Any tropical island is a great vacation spot, and Hawaii certainly fits that description. Maybe instead of going back to Puerto Rico for a family vacation, my parents could consider going to Hawaii for a change.
I know that I will not be able to visit all of these places while I am still a teenager and living with my parents. I’ll probably need to wait until I am done with college and have moved out of the house before even half of these places become an option to visit. Still, being able to travel to all of these remarkable places would be so much fun and wonderful learning experiences. Many of my friends have been to Europe and Hawaii and they have always needed to send me a postcard or tell me about it at school. Maybe in a few years though, I will be able to say “Oh yeah, I’ve been there”.

Camille,
ReplyDeleteIt was a good idea to write about the places that you want to go instead of places that you have gone. Your blog has made me want to travel to some of these places as well with your descriptions of why you want to go to each place. The only thing i would be careful of the way you word some of your sentences. In this sentenc: "After seeing both the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants one and two, I want so badly to take a vacation to Greece.", the I want so badly is kind of wordy and can probably be reworded to flow better.
New Zealand and Australia are my top dream spots, but since they are so far away, if my wife and I go we'd plan on taking a whole month to do so. With my summer break, that's easy for me, but not so for her. Maybe for our retirement trip...
