What Places need a visit?
I’ve been some great places and had some amazing adventures. But where do I want to go next. I haven’t made it to all 50 states but I’m finding that I’m not interested in seeing every state any more. I’ve developed some favorite places and I like returning. There’s Florida and Hawaii to name two. I’m pretty sure I’ll continue to visit both of those states.
Go West, Young Man, Go West
I’ll need to rephrase that famous line. How about go west old lady go west? I like Wyoming. I’m tentatively going back again to finish visiting Yellowstone. I’d prefer to get accomodations in Idaho as it’s closer to the West Entrance but if that doesn’t pan out I can go back to Jackson. That was a really good vacation.
Red Rocks of Sedona
Sedona was nice too. The red rocks are beautiful. I took my first helicopter ride there. Sedona was my base camp when I made both visits to the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is truly amazing. Everyone should see it at least once. The first time it’s almost overwhelming. My mind kept telling me it wasn’t real!
Mount Rushmore
What’s in South Dakota
What’s in South Dakota was the question I got and asked when my sister and I planned our trip. Everyone knows about Mount Rushmore but it turned out that there was a lot more to see and experience. We visited a real dinosaur dig, observed wild mustangs running free, were surrounded by bison in Custer State Park.
Alaska, The Great Land
We cruised to Alaska. Unfortunately we did it in the rainy, cold spring. I want to go back. I want to see the bears at Brooks Camp during the salmon run. I’d like to cruise past the glaciers again and even experience the midnight sun. Maybe I need two trips because I’d like to see the Aurora Borealis, aka the Northern lights and those are in the fall and winter. Ugh…cold.
Any Suggestions?
So my friends, family and loyal readers, where do you want me to go? What adventure would you like me to experience and write about? The only stipulation is that it must be in the USA. I’m not ready for international travel yet. Maybe someday.
I’m originally from Philadelphia ( 48 ) years but am proud to have spent the last 20 years living in Alaska, and though I lived in the wilderness of the far North of Alaska I can safely suggest a ‘land’ tour of Alaska from Homer up to Denali and Fairbanks and then back down to Valdez and lastly to Anchorage and a flight home.
This trip covers most of the sights visitors want to see and will give you more than an ample chance to witness the handiwork of God!
That sounds amazing. I was disappointed in the cruise tour. Too much time on the water and not enough time exploring on land. But even with those restrictions I can’t fault the scenery. It’s easy to see why Alaska is called the Great Land. I really like your suggestion. It gets me excited just thinking about it!
Not sure if you’ve been to Glacier National Park… if not, that’s an absolute must see, in my opinion!
I haven’t been to Glacier NP yet. I’ve heard mixed reviews but mostly I’ve hesitated because I’m not up to doing a lot of hiking anymore. I will certainly take it under consideration. I also want to see Yosemite but have held back for the same reason. Sounds like I need to buckle down ans do some more research
