I was thinking about what to write and travel kept sticking in my head. I only have one upcoming trip scheduled and it is home to Kentucky. Sometime next year my wife’s conference trip is to Bhutan. Bhutan is very restrictive on travel, so I’m not sure if I will be able to go on that one. After that, it will be Kuwait, Qatar or Indonesia. There are a lot of countries in the group that I would like to visit. Here is a brief list on order of desired visit:

1. Fiji
2. Maldives
3. Austria
4. Russia
5. Moldova
6. Georgia
7. Portugal
8. Kenya
9. Argentina
10. Sri Lanka

I only listed places I haven’t been and that are not on the possible list. I capped it at 10. There aren’t really any places in the group I wouldn’t go. I just need to retire so I can go without worrying about getting time off work.

Here are international places I would like to visit that are not in the group:

1. Australia
2. New Zealand
3. Ireland
4. Wales
5. Spain
6. Sweden
7. Germany

I’ve driven through Germany before and spent the night, but didn’t really experience it. I’m sure there are other countries I’m just not thinking of yet.

My top US cities I still haven’t visited:

1. Seattle
2. Portland
3. San Diego
4. Denver
5. Chicago
6. Los Angeles

And states in general, with no particular city”

1. Maine
2. Michigan
3. Minnesota

So many places I want to see. Only 6 more years until I can retire and really get started.
