Bon voyage Ma!
Mom's off to Australia today... for a ten week jaunt around Australia and New Zealand with a side trip to Tahiti. She's definitely enjoying her retirement. Good for her. Here's wishing her a safe and fun trip. Buy lots of presents for me, Ma! (JK, sorta)
She and I are both avid travellers. She's been able to do more in the past few years than I because of law school (for me) v. retirement (for her). I do try to take at least one international trip a year. It would have been Trinidad this year but for the bar...
And she and I also sorta compete to see who gets around the most. She's made it to a bunch of countries where I want to go, but I think I've seen more places. However, Mom definitely does more "in depth" travelling that I do. This is her second three-month trip. I have never taken more than 5 weeks.
Anyway, in a gratutitous attempt to get more hits, here is the list of countries I've visited in alpha order. I think I may even be missing one. Here also are five "really wanna go" countries. My criteria tends to hinge on what area is most likely to change a great deal in the next ten years and what's realistic to try to see.
1. Argentina
2. Austria
3. Barbados
4. Belgium
5. Canada
6. Chile
7. China
8. Croatia
9. Czech Republic
10. Egypt
11. France
12. Germany
13. Greece
14. Guatemala
15. Honduras
16. Hong Kong (before and after reversion; I know it’s not technically a country)
17. Hungary
18. Israel
19. Italy
20. Japan
21. Jordan
22. Korea
23. Luxembourg
24. Macau (counts as a colony of Portugal)
25. Macedonia
26. Malaysia
27. Mexico
28. Monaco
29. Netherlands
30. Philippines
31. Poland
32. Singapore
33. Slovakia
34. South Africa
35. Switzerland
36. Syria
37. Taiwan
38. Thailand
39. Turkey
40. United Kingdom
41. United States
42. Vietnam
43. Yugoslavia (Serbia)
1. Brazil
2. Cambodia
3. Laos
4. Morocco
5. Russia
Now if I could only get a job in order to start accruing vacation to take another trip! Oh yea, I guess I do have the time to travel; it's the money I need...
