Yesterday while browsing the isles of Barnes and Noble, I visited one of my favorite sections…travel. The first book that caught my eye was “1,000 places to visit before you die”.
I quickly flipped through the pages maybe too quickly because at first glance I hadn’t been anywhere and how am I going to get to 1,000 places before I die….???? So I slowly started again and thank god I started to see places that I’ve been. Before I closed the book I think I’d reached 10 of the 1,000 places. Now I really don’t think I’m going to make it to all of these places I’m not too excited about visiting Ballybunion golf club (not even sure where that is) or The covered souks of Aleppo, but there were many beaches, museums, monuments, islands, inns, restaurants, mountains that I would love to visit.
When I was married my husband brought a book for me “Atlas of dream Places”. I remember us looking through the book and deciding which places we would visit…unfortunately we never did visit any of those dream places….
The Atlas of dream Places is still one of my favorite books on a Sunday afternoon in bed surrounded by pillows and dreaming of all the possibilities….
Hopefully during the next half of my life I will get to increase my 10 of the 1,000 place to at least 100.
I think I’ve found a new list for my marble notebook…The 100 places I will visit before I die!
