I’ve been thinking and planning for months about traveling to Central America. So many National Parks filled with lush forests, tropical birds and unique wildlife in a warm and humid environment. Did I just write humid? Oh yuck. I really don’t relish sticky. Didn’t care for that a bit when in south Texas.
Hiking in the Drakensburg
Suddenly my inbox and reader are Loaded with posts about Africa. Are they just teasing me? I loved the short month spent in South Africa in 2010. I vowed to return. There’s so much more to see.
The world is big with so many places I long to roam.
Yet I want to go back to Africa.
Where do you long to go?
I really would like to go to Australia or to Austria, but right now just enjoying home sweet home.
Australia is just too expensive right now. We’ll have to live vicariously through Jeremy.
Think we’ll put off dreaming about Europe until our dollar has value..lol. So will be contented to amble around Central America; February in Roatan!
Europe isn’t high on my list especially during winter when I can travel.
Travel-bug is biting again…somehow Cuba is calling strongest at the moment.
Cuba does sound interesting.
Next place on our wish list is Kruger NP, South Africa. We spend a couple of months last winter in Costa Rica and Panama…if you decide to go we’d be happy to offer some info/advice.
I meant “spent” 😉
You’ll love Kruger. I want to go back. Still can’t decide.
South Africa gets under your skin and although I have seen much of it, I long to see more, I still feel like it is where I belong. Never the less I do love France and I am very happy here in our lovely home. The Grand Canyon though is top of my list but I am sure I will never get there unless we win the lottery! Keep well Diane
SA has gotten under my skin. I barely scratched the surface there and am very intrigued to see more.
Keep buying those lottery tickets.
I just want to be able to go back to Yellowstone and Glacier and spend at least a month at each. Central America and Africa both used to be on the list but that list has recently gotten seriously downsized.
Never take anything OFF the list. Keep on dreaming.
Tasmania, fell in love with that gorgeous place 3 years ago and really want to get back and spend at least a month exploring
Tasmania sounds like a good place to see also. Better add that to my list.
There are so many corners of our country that I want to explore that I haven’t even considered dreams outside of the US. I just want to be able to move again. Ouch!
You’ll be mobile again.
I have a dentist friend who goes on a mission trip to Tanzania every year. He talks about how great the people are and the beauty of the country. So I have some major Tanzania wants to to right now.
I’m also very curious about India. Such a huge and diverse place.
I’d have to go by myself to both places though.
I’m leaning more towards Africa and will look up Tanzania. India is on my bucket list also. I usually do travel alone.
That last photo is incredible!!! Look. Here’s the deal. Anywhere you go will be amazing:) But like you…there’s so much to see in Africa as well….thus causing conflict:) I am organizing right now….Ecuador, Argentina or a return to Central America with my new bird eye. Either way, I wish someone would make a decision for me:) Travel is incredible.
You’ll actually be able to plan your next visit to South Africa a lot better after having been here once. You now have an idea of what its like here, what you have seen and what you missed and things are more in perspective. I’m also one who have been bitten by the travel bug long ago but having kids mean many other expenses so those big trips will have to wait another couple of years.
Africa is the place for adventurers! I really love their wildlife I hope they can preserve it. Have you seen some white lions there?
South Africa was quite an adventure and I saw a lot of wildlife but no white lions, yet.
Not ready for Africa yet, but I want to visit SE Asia, and spend more time in Thailand.
Oh, you know me – I’m kinda happy right where I am.
I think you’d be happy wherever you choose to be. I respect that.
I’ve been to Japan but want to see more of the US in my RV. Darn non-travel oriented DH.
Looks like you’ve been getting in at least a little local travel lately. Seems the GTG had a lot of fun exploring.
when you come back to Africa i think you should visit Kenya in east Africa, you will enjoy traveling around the Masai Mara national park, the Amboseli national park and the beautiful beaches in cost region. you welcome back in Africa
I have a friend who would totally empathize with you!
Gaelyn, I spent ten years living in Zambia so I hear you loud and clear. Not a month goes by when I don’t long for that glorious continent. If that is where your heart is guiding you then dive right in!!
