Places I'd like To Travel- Freewriting

The first place that comes to mind is Egypt. I have always wanted to go there, especially after seeing the pyramids in "The Chipmunks Great Adventure" when I was little! Seems silly but it caught my attention at the time. I would also like to go to Israel. My parents have gone a couple of times and I think it would be very interesting to see a place that has so much history. Things and places I have heard about my whole life through Bible stories. Greece and Turkey would be great places to visit for that same reason. Plus I have heard their beaches are breathtaking. Speaking of beaches, I would love to travel anywhere in the Caribbean. Turks and Cacaos catches my attention for some reason but I would also like to go to Mexico and see the Mayan ruins. Hawaii is a place I hope my husband and I get to go someday! We talked about honeymooning there and decided on Disney World instead. That was a great choice and we really enjoyed ourselves, but what were we thinking?? We traded Hawaii for Mickey Mouse!
I have always thought Australia would be a nice place to visit as well.. I liked what I saw in "Crocodile Dundee" and "Rescuers Down Under" when I was little! 
I also want to travel domestically. I desperately want to see the northeast during autumn when all the leaves are blazing their fall colors. Autumn is my favorite season and all I have seen are pictures of that area during that time of the year. 
I have been to New York City twice and would love to go again. The first time I went was on a short term mission trip so I saw parts of the city that people rarely catch a glimpse of and I fell in love because of it. I remember walking Battery Park at midnight, looking for people to give bags of food and basic toiletries. Serving a community in Spanish Harlem at a block party(as a clown painting faces), directly across the street from a shooting that had taken place the night before. I love that city, I wonder if I will someday call it home?

  1. New York gives me extreme anxiety. My first time there I saw so much homelessness and how they are treated. I kept thinking to myself, "these people are humans? " Its a totally different world there.

    I LOVED Boston though, the New England area is wonderful and exciting. All the history and people are wonderful.

    I loved Disney, always a better trade from Hawaii, there are so many drinks a man could have on a beach..
