It's not done yet, but... | Bison in the Tetons (September 08) |
Thanks to Chris's (travelinxs) example, I started a list of things that I've always wanted to accomplish. I started with some of his ideas - VTers are great thieves - and went on from there. |

31. Contribute to a travel magazine
32. See a moose in Alaska

37. Learn to Surf somewhere warm and beautiful
38. Attend the VT Euromeet!
39. Be in Cornwall for the Shakespearean Festival
40. Visit Yellowstone National Park in the Winter (DONE!) | | |
| Doge's Palace in Venice (June 08) |
| | 41. See Jovanotti in concert. (DONE Travelogue to follow.)
42. Speak fluent Italian.
The challenge? It's too easy for me to write in terms of destinations and not experiences. I'll keep working on it. The list is currently on my desktop and I open it every time something comes to mind.
Another challenge is that I look at my list and know that my experiences - compared to so many other people - are pretty limited. In many ways this list is no better than one out of a travel magazine. But, I hope that it becomes a little more personal trip by trip. |

Hey Carrie! Glad to hear Cinque Terra is as amazing as I imagine it! Our plans are on hold for awhile - pretty sure my job is toast - but will let you know when that trip is back on track again. Hope all's well! | travelinxs Tue Nov 10, 2009 20:02 UTC
Thanks for the b'day message Carrie. Had a fun day which I think involved some beer if I remember rightly. Hope alls well in Italia. Cheers. Chris. | Dabs Sun Oct 25, 2009 21:51 UTC
Hi Carrie, how's the new home in Trieste? I've never been to Trieste on purpose but I was there by accident when Ryan Air dumped us there at midnight!!! I am very familiar with the floor of the train station.... | Mikebond Sat Oct 17, 2009 10:44 UTC
Hi Carrie! I have spent more than six years in Trieste to attend university. Pity you have moved there now that I don't live there anymore. But I'll have to come again to Trieste before graduating in March... Have a nice week-end, Michele |
