22 Things I Have Done

This post was written in response to Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop prompt:

30 Days About Me: Day 14 – Where to Travel

Day 14- Somewhere You’d Love to Travel

I would love to go back to France over and over again.  I love the culture, the language, the history, the laissez-faire attitude, etc.

 

Having said that, basically anywhere warm with beautiful white sandy beaches would suit me just fine!  Yup, I’m a redhead who actually loves beaches!

 

30 Days of Me: Day 13 – Where in the world…?

Day 13 – Somewhere you’d like to move or visit

I lived Vancouver, BC for a few years and would move back again if I could.  Perhaps I’ll retire there, but for now, the kids and I happily call Small Town, Ontario home.

 

I also feel very at home in England and still have family there. Bristol and Sussex are family areas of the country.  I also visited Bath once and fell in love with the area with its rolling hills and old architecture.

 

I also loved Paris, France when I went there.  I would love to return to France and also visit Bordeaux. I’ve always wanted to visit there, and I’m not sure why other than they make great wine! I just feel a strong pull towards it.

 

Then there’s always the fantasy of being whisked away to a warm sandy beach, on a private and remote island…

 

Where would you like to go?
