Homepage | Where
I've Been | Some of My Favorite Photos
My Tours | 1,000
Places | Email Me
During my travels and meeting new
friends, and when the conversation turns to travel, I am regularly asked what
my favorite country is. My response is
always the same - the next one. (I stole
this line from an 80-year-old owner of a family vineyard who was asked what her
favorite glass of wine was; her response was perfect - “the next one”)
However, I do have special memories of a
number of places I have visited and events that I experienced. Although my list is not as comprehensive as
Patricia Schultz’s 1,000 Places to
See Before You Die (which I use to get ideas of what to see and do when
I travel) the listed places, in no particular order, bring a smile to my heart
when I think about them. This list will
also never be completed. Some special
places are buried deep in my subconscious.
I should have started this list 30 years ago. I will add to the list as I go through boxes
of memories, photos and T-shirts. And of
course, there are always new places to visit and experiences to live.
