30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 5

Day 5: List five places you want to visit.

I’m sure you guys can probably guess a few of these, but here we go anyway.

1. Ireland. I’ve long had a fascination with this country. I’m not sure when or why it started, but it’s one of the top places I want to visit someday.

2. Germany. My grandfather was born in Germany and emigrated to the US when he was a kid. In addition to at least some of my roots being tied to that country, there is so much to see and experience that it calls to me.

3. Romania. Although… it’s about as politically stable as the US is right now sooooo… I might just put this one off for a bit. But seriously, this is a place I’ve been obsessed with since a kid. It started with Dracula and has only spiraled outward from there.

4. Hawaii. My then-boyfriend-now-husband went when we were in high school and loved it. My mom has been twice and couldn’t get enough. Although I’ve never been much of a beach person, I think that Hawaii would be a wonderful experience.

5. Chicago. Despite having been born in rural Illinois, I’ve never been to Chicago. My dream is to see a daytime Cubs game and sit in the bleachers but that might just be nostalgia talking.

Of the five listed, Chicago might be the only one I ever manage. Although, if my kid sticks with her desire to visit Croatia, maybe I’ll get to Romania, too?

I'm with you on Ireland and Hawaii. My other three would be Scotland, Paris and Jamaica.

I'd go with you to any of those three as well. I JUST WANT OUT OF THE DARN STATE THANKS. :D

I can understand that.

Right? And I can't convince anyone to drive to the northern part of the state to visit the old cemeteries and ghost towns either. *sigh*

So many cool places! Well, obviously I've done Hawaii, and believe it or not, Chicago too, but not the others.  I hope you get to them one day!

Yes, I knew about Hawaii, but not Chicago! Thanks, I'll at least make it to the Windy City if nowhere else. :)

I like this list.

And I've got to tell you, if you can go with other couples/families, and rent a house, Hawaii is not as cost prohibitive as you might think!

THIS IS ATTAINABLE!!!

Thank you!

Oh, now that's an excellent idea! I'm sure my sister and her husband would be on board, for sure.

I WILL SOMEDAY GET OUT OF THIS STATE AGAIN! It's been like 3 years. Hahaha.
