The New York Times just published their “52 Places to go in 2019”
so I couldn’t help comparing that list to my proposed travel plans for 2019.
I scrolled through their list quickly, making notes:
Already Been:
Perth, Tahiti, Houston, Danang, Las Vegas, New York City, Orcas Island, Los Angeles, Wyoming, Santa Barbara.
Ok, about 15% of the list, I thought, not too bad.
Want to go:
Croatia, Chile, Puglia, Italy, Aberdeen, Scotland, Lyon, France, Hong Kong.
These places are on my list, but not for 2019.
Never heard of but intrigued:
Frisian Islands in the Netherlands region, and Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
These might make my list for someday….
Probably Won’t Get to:
I hate saying I won’t ever get to a place, but I have to start being realistic. I am not this guy (although I did meet Mr. Parrish last year and he is perfectly nice).
Places from this list I probably won’t get to: Gambia, Tunis, Uzbekistan.
Will Get Close This Year:
I won’t see the Falkland Islands but I do plan to see South Georgia Island in November as part of our Antarctica Penguin Safari cruise.
(If you want to go to Antarctica and South Georgia this year, our cruise might be right for you! For more information email me at heirloomvacations@gmail.com Subject line: Antarctica!)
I’m planning to visit the Cinque Terre in June, so that is near Golfo Paradiso.
We also have an amazing trip to New Zealand on the calendar, (more about that later) and we”ll be near the new Paparoa Track.
Close counts, right?
