[The end is here. We're going to Independence Hall today to learn about the Declaration of the modern State of Israel, then going on a walking tour of a historic neighborhood (Neve Tzedek), seeing the memorial to Yitzhak Rabin in Rabin Square, shopping in Tel Aviv and going to Jaffa, an ancient seaport and artist colony. I'm sure we're draggin' our asses right about now. But there's really no time for that...because while everyone's getting ready to go to the airport and head back home (Liza included) tonight, I'll be off to my friend's wedding! Now here's my little ocean dreamer and real life friend, Sierra. Enjoy!]
Hi, this is Ocean Dreams capturing Ali's blog and holding it ransom! Nah, not really. She is just on an amazing trip so I thought I would do a guest post! So I guess you are all stuck with me. Sorry, I promise I won't bite.
So to go along with Ali's travels to Israel, I wanted to talk a bit about travel. Do you all like to travel? How do you feel about traveling? No doubt about it, if you are anything like me and my bloggy love Ali, you love to travel and see the world. I feel fortunate that I have been able to travel to several locations for my 25 years and these are my favorite places that I have been to thus far: France, Spain, Mexico, Hawaii, NYC, Japan, and Hong Kong. I would love the list to keep on growing and plan on traveling more when I have the means and uh, well, money. Darn... I always forget about that part.

This summer Big Kiddo {Ali calls him my blog celebrity...isn't she cute?!} aka my boyfriend from my blog world. But anyway, back to the point. This summer ... Big Kiddo and I are thinking about either going somewhere snowy, or tropical. My vote is tropical all the way. He has been to the Caribbean and is dying to take me there. I want to go so badly! When do we leave?!
So here is a little list of the top ten places in the world I want to travel to, not in any particular order. Ready, set, travel!
1. Ireland {the castles look just fascinating and beautiful!}
2. Scotland {more castles and history, right?}
3. Italy {all of the water!}
4. Caribbean {crystal clear oceans, sigh}
5. Australia {down under mate!}
6. Germany {I am after all German!}
7. England {need I say more?}
8. Fiji
9. Holland
10. Antarctica {brrr...}
Where would you all travel if you had the means to travel and lots of $$? Everywhere you say? Nah, what if you only had one choice? Tough, huh?!
Even though I love to travel, traveling can be done within the heart. Traveling for me can be done through simple acts of love. A simple touch, hug, kiss, embrace, or tear tell me everything will be okay. Traveling just a few minutes to a sushi restaurant with a friend or my best friend's house is a journey all by itself. That is why when I get sad that I haven't traveled since last year {my last vacation was to Alaska of last year, yeah, I know}, I know that people allow my heart to travel. Kind of like when they say home is where the heart is, well, to me, if I go on adventures in my own back yard until that day comes that I can travel the world more often, well, I think I pretty much be the most blessed person ever. Seriously.
Now go and show my bloggy love Ali some love. I miss her. Don't you?!
XOXO,
Ocean Dreams

Nice post. Would have liked to see your pictures you posted though. I have never been out of the Country (not even to Canada), but I have been to NYC. I really want to go to Ireland, especially since the last play I did (senior year of college) was an Irish Play. We learned all about the culture and sites and it sounds wonderful.
Oh, you will love the Caribbean! The water is like nothing you've seen; it really is so clear and blue! It will fulfill your every ocean dream, and the weather is so perfect, and the people are generally so friendly and grateful. I feel so blessed every time I visit a Caribbean island, and I enjoy every single experience.
I have to pick two places, I just have to! Italy and Hawaii are the two places I really want to go right now, although both require a lot of $$$. So, I think I'll be "settling" for a Caribbean cruise sometime in the late spring 2010! I can't wait!
Lovely guest post. I love travelling. Its definitely one of the most fun things to do.
I'd love to Scotland for all the castles. I live in England and its shocking that I haven't been.
