Travel

What countries do you want to visit? – I can rock and roll with this question from the daily writing prompt.

I’d like to start by seeing some of my own country. Things like NYC and some of our grand national parks out west. Maybe the Key West in Florida and San Diego or San Francisco. I hear Charleston and Savana are beautiful. Maybe Denver or Boston also.

My better half wants to go to Ireland, so I want to go to Ireland.

I’d like to see Italy, France, Spain, UK and Australia if I were to want to travel that much.

Then again if I get no further than the beaches of Maryland and Delaware, that is okay with me.

Visitor

What countries do you want to visit? – The Daily Writing prompt is getting into the travel business.

Do I answer this? Will I start receiving travel offers? Will someone think I have a lot of money because I dream of going someplace? Will a bunch of travel bloggers condemn my choices?

Ah, screw it. I’ll answer as I always do. My better half would love to visit Ireland so I’ll be going there someday.

Me, I want to see my own country. The United States and its wonders. For you who don’t live in the U.S. going from state to state is like visiting other countries at times. I’ve only been to 15 states and Washington DC, so far in my life.

But not to be lazy, I looked through the list of what I believe were 195 countries and found possibilities.

  • Australia
  • The Bahamas
  • France
  • Italy
  • Sweden

We started this first year of retirement by seeing my home state of Maryland. We will venture out after that. Then again, I am a homebody.

For those of you not from Maryland, Old Bay is a seasoning that we love to put on crabs and other seafood dishes. Well, truth be told, on a lot of things. Photo by Mike Hartley
