My Travel Bucket List

Ok, so I gave a suggestion to a friend last week, and this got me really thinking...

A friend of mine on Facebook asked everyone for a suggestion for her 25th birthday. She wanted to do something unique, not the usual parties, etc. I told her to create a bucket list, and be sure to cross one item off her list on her birthday. At first I thought she would think it was kind of corny, but she actually got excited and started working on her list!

So now that we are at the close of 2010, I realized that I needed to write my own bucket list- my list of things I want to do (in terms of travel) before I leave this Earth. So here's my list. I'm going to cross out the things I've already done as I go. I thank God for the experiences He has given me so far and pray I can complete most of these in my lifetime. I hope you'll take the time to create your own, and share with me some of the things you want to do. They might make my list too!
