Dustin' off the old travel blog

I started this travel blog back when I still lived in Florida, but oddly enough, I knew I was planning to move back to Nebraska.  Mostly, I wanted this to be a place to showcase not only Orlando/Disney but where ever I traveled to.

I thumbed several computer and photo files to try to find a specific topic to blog about today. Lincoln is in the mist of yet another "snow day" which is fine but the snow stopped being fun last month.

Now that I'm a new travel planner for Mouse Tales Travel, I been thinking about what travel destinations are on my bucket list. In the near future, let's hope I can cross some of these places off my list.

1. An African Safari along with visits to the south eastern cities of Zanzibar or Mombasa. Ever since I've started taking a geography of Africa class, I want to see the "charismatic Megafauna" (i.e. Lions, Elephants, and gazelle) before they are all gone.  I'm excited that Adventures by Disney does sell an African adventure. That might have be an addition to the Kenyan and Botswana adventures I want

2. Fiji -- That's been on my bucket list for a long, long time. There's something about the beaches and water (or the pictures of the water and beaches) that I find enchanting.

3. Australia - I know I've been promising to go for 20 years.

4. Lucca, Italy. I have no idea why, but I had a dream about this place a few months ago and I want to know what it calling me there.

5. Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea -- I shouldn't need to explain why this is on my list.

6. Charleston, SC. This wraps up my "southern cities" trips must-see.

7.  Goa, India.  I blame Anthony Bourdain for this one.

8. Bahia Honda State Park, Florida.  I remember driving the 3-hours out to Key West and seeing the water at this state park out of the window and I put it on my list. Key West was "ok". I probably would have enjoyed this more.

9. Morocco.


I'm actually not picky about my travel. I'll go about anywhere just for the sake of going.

I've been to Dodge City, KS twice this year as testament to that fact.  See... I didn't actually go to Dodge City for the history but for the Casino. So, this is us out in the parking lot of the museum on a Sunday morning. The downtown area looks quaint too. Lots of old brick buildings.  Warm and cozy. No pictures of that because the lighting wasn't right.

I would love to hear where you've been lately or what destinations are on your bucket list. Leave me a comment!
