Top 5 places I want to visit

Instead of counting down to my # 1 destination to visit I decided to let my practical side come out to play. I listed these 5 destinations by likelihood of visiting given restraints from job, distance and not wanting to leave Fred too long. 

Japan

Where do I begin?! I want to experience the hustle and bustle of Tokyo! I want to find serenity in the temples and gardens. I'm dying to find fun and wild outfits while shopping in Harajuku. I would like to think I will be fit enough and ready to hike up to the top of Mt Fuji. It seems like I could never be bored in Japan!

In addition to all of that I would also love day trips to Hakone, Kamakura and Kyoto. Greg's addition would probably be Sumo wrestling, visit a Samurai museums, and explore the millions dining out options.   

Norway

By train, boat, or hiking I am dying to explore the gorgeous scenery of the Norwegian Fjords. I would love to start in Oslo with their museums and parks. Make our way past Heddal Stave Church and on to Bergen. In Bergen I would love to see Mt Floyen, art museums, and the many unique architectural sights.  

From Bergen I would head north to the many small and beautiful towns within the Fjords. Hopefully we could hike, see the northern lights, and relax in nature. 

Patagonia

When I think of Patagonia I get excited to see glaciers, waterfalls, ice caves, and the incredible sights of nature. Naturally I am dying to see Perito Moreno Glacier, hike in Torres del Paine National Park, and hopefully see Penguins even from a distance. 

I would love to challenge myself to hike more, get out of my comfort zone, and spend time gazing at the stars.

African Safari

An African safari is probably as out of my comfort zone as possible. I'm afraid of bugs, of poachers, and lions following me in the night. Don't get me wrong lol I totally get that some of those are ridiculous of me!

All that being said I would love to be in a safari tent at night, a jeep during the day, and surrounded by nature and animals that I adore so much!

Australia

I need a lot of time to visit Australia. Naturally I want to go from the Great Barrier Reef (I'll let Greg do the snorkeling though), see the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, drive the great ocean road near Melbourne, and of course head  into the Outback. 

I want to see cities, waters, animals, nature, and so much more. It's so hard to think about visiting Australia because of our limitations. Hopefully one day we'll get there but for now I'll keep researching and creating bookmarks!
