Is it cheating to just say I want to be in New England?
Well, maybe not really. I want to be there only because the love of my life is there. Not for any burning desire to live in said part of the world. I'd rather he move here, but that's beside the point.
But let's pretend for a moment that there's no budget, or work or life schedule that I have to adhere to. The traveling I'd like to do most in the world is take the traditional "Grand Tour" of Europe like they used to do in the 1800's, you know, if you were wealthy and weren't forced to become a responsible, productive member of society.
I'd love to travel all over Europe. See the sights of London. Visit the French countryside. Kiss the Blarney Stone in Ireland. Listen to adorable Scottish brogues in Scotland. Drink German beer. Stay the night in some European castle. Hop over to Italy for some wine and take a ride in a gondola. Go to the Louvre and see the statue of Nike - the winged goddess of victory, not the shoe. Take a siesta in Spain. Lie on a beach in Greece. Buy clogs in Denmark. Visit Stonehenge and ponder whether aliens truly built the formation or not.
There's so much I could see or do if I were able to take a trip across Europe like this. Maybe I should actually play the lottery one day...
