The Cozy Corner

So shifting gears, I was thinking about this question as I was contemplating my next vacation / trip.

Does everyone have a "bucket list" / dream location that you would like to go to?
Have you been there already? If so, did it meet your expectations?

My bucket list was the Crocodile Hunters zoo. Traveled there in 2019/2020 before Covid hit. Loved it! Wished I could have seen his family, but they were busy saving animals from the wildfire.

Biggest full bucket list item is to visit every National Park

But for a single trip? I want to take a cruise to Hawaii - easiest way to see both National Parks there

I was, and Carmen disappointed me I must say. I was not anticipating a benevolent Carmen to allow him to eat his lunch.

I think it was the undercurrent of revenge is best served cold vibe that allowed the lunch be consumed......why is it I hear Carly Simon singing Anticipation in the background?

I want to go to the UK some day. It's been first on my list for a very very long time.

Dream location would be New Zealand.

I, however, don't even have a passport.

NZ is lovely, highly recommend!

I love ancient history...
Lucky enough living in Europe that Italy, Greece, Turkey etc are just a few hours away by plane so seen quite a few sites that are on my bucket list.

Always wanted to go to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat and lived that dream in my 20s.

Next up would be Peru... Machu Picchu, Cusco etc. Hopefully a long holiday and visit Bolivia too as want to see the Salt Flats.

Also Tulum in Mexico.

Would love to visit China to see the Great Wall and Terracotta Army. Also Persepolis and Samarkand. But wouldn't want to visit these countries atm and / or as a solo female traveller.

 

[SirCorneliusWankumbush]

I have never shanked anyone.

You haven't actually shanked ANYONE, maybe WANTED to shank me.... but I digress.

 

[metrifonate]

Pay no attention to me. I'm nuts.

Any nut allergy folks about

Oh, did you see the hot air balloons in Turkey? Istanbul is a frequent layover for us, so in a few years I want to spend a week there to break up the trip.

Tulum is absolutely breathtaking! You can feel the energy and the history! Highly recommend!

Tulum is an amazing setting but Uxmal is amazing.

That is a great list!

Having been to Tulum, it may not be a popular opinion, but I would suggest you can skip that. Machu Picchu is more impressive imo. Tulum has great views of the ocean, but the spectacle of Machu Picchu was so much better for me.

Me! I'm allergic to all of them. How am I still alive?

Currently working on taking the kids to all 50 states before they graduate high school. 14 year old has been to about 40 states. The 6 year old has been to 30ish states already. Hawaii is high school graduation present in 4 years. National Parks are part of our trips each time.

Long term bucket list is to explore Europe and as much of the world as possible once I’m retired.

Shanking is personal. Done right, it's not as messy as you'd think. It's all about technique and the tool.

Don't ask me how I know.

You think you're safe being on military base, but I have access! Was born on one. You will never be safe from me!!! Muuuuuuwaaaaahahahahaha!

I wanna spend a couple weeks roaming Ireland and Scotland , in fall and summer

I want to go to the UK some day. It's been first on my list for a very very long time.

You still don't know WHICH base.... and every base has lots of employees..... I like my odds of survival.

Nobody has mentioned Liverpool yet. I'm sure it's just an oversight

I didn't... I only managed a 2 day trip when I was on holiday in Rhodes.

I would love to see it!
