Thanks to Chrissy for the map idea and Rachelle for getting me thinking about bucket lists. This got me thinking about all the places I've been and where I still would like to go. Here is my TRAVEL bucket list (so far):

Tahiti - This is my DREAM vacation. Specifically the islands of Moorea and Bora Bora. I want to stay in a nice resort on both islands at least a few nights on one of the islands in an over water bungalow at a high end resort. I want to cruise around and explore Moorea on mopeds (just like in the movie "Love Story"-- cheesy I know, but I gotta do it) and I gotta go scuba diving on both islands. I also want to get a couples massage on the beach in a cabana with my husband. Jake, stop rolling your eyes!!

New York City - I went once when I was a kid but didn't get to see much. I think this would make a great long "girls weekend" and I hope to go with my mom sometime in the next few years. I would love to go see a Broadway Musical, go check out the observation deck of the Empire States Bldg, stroll through Central Park, check out a ton of unique local NYC restaurants, go have a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity's, visit ground zero, go see the statue of liberty, check out times square, go to the metropolitan museum of art, see the Brooklyn bridge, go watch a TV show taped, and SHOP!!

St. Johns - I have heard from alot of people that this Caribbean island is amazing. I would love to check it out and spend a week on the beach at an amazing resort. I am sold on the Caribbean in general now. I have had a few great trips there. The food is great, the music is great, the beaches and water are beautiful, the people are friendly, AND the best part is that it doesn't take forever to get there from Texas. I would definantly love to check out some high end all inclusives with Jake on some of the other islands in the Caribbean.

Belize, Honduras, and Bon Aire - strictly for scuba diving. I've heard from lots of people who have been that it is incredible diving!!

Alaska - I would love to go on an Alaskan cruise and check out the glaciers and wildlife.

Also on the list: Maui (gotta dive!), Rome (tons of sightseeing and great food and shopping!), Florence - shopping and the David statue, Pisa - gotta see the leaning tower, Vatican City - Sistine Chapel, and MORE Greek Isles!! Jake and I went on a Greek Isles Cruise back in 2007 and I LOVED Greece. I would definantly love to go back and spend more time on some other islands and soak up the sun, swim, shop, and eat more Greek food! I loved the people there.

When Lusia is older I want to take her to England with me to see where my side of the family comes from and let her see the places that her ancestors are from and stand where they have stood. I have been over twice now and it is an amazing feeling walking the streets that your ancestors have walked.

I also want Lusia to see Paris and eat amazing french food, see the eiffel tower, Notre Dame, and see the amazing art in the Orsay and the Louvre. I went a five years ago with my Dad to Paris and really enjoyed it minus the scary hotel in a scary neighborhood, the taxi cab driver who stole from me, and the plane that had to divert back to France after we were at least an hour into the Atlantic for someone on board who had a medical emergency. Oh and did I mention the Porn salesman who sat next to me on the last leg of my flight in the US and had to be removed before take off?! The part I spent with my Dad on that trip riding over on the chunnel and eating dinner in Paris by the Opera House was amazing but I would like to go and create some new memories minus all the other DRAMA this time.

I got the travel bug from my Mom. We love to see the world! I can't wait to see more.
