Travel dreams

[serenissima]

Trips I'd like to go on someday:

• China. 'nuff said.
  
• England. Ditto.
  
• Tour some of the major U.S. national parks. When I was a child, my family traveled in California one summer and spent some time at Yosemite. I remember we went on a slow, carefully guided horseback ride. My father's horse farted during the ride. :)
  
• I think maybe I should see Mt. Kilimanjaro, not out of a particular desire to visit Africa -- though I'm sure it'd be fascinating -- but because I understand that the famous snowcap may be melted away within my lifetime. For the same reason, maybe I should go visit a few glaciers.
  
• Belarus and neighboring countries, especially for heritage reasons.
  
• the Mediterranean area. "Istanbul not Constantinople..."
  
• Alaska. In the summertime. :)
