A LIFETIME TRAVEL BUCKET LIST COMPLETED- part 1.


      I have decided to list by state and country, travel destinations that I would consider "Lifetime Bucket List Completed." There are places that I would still like to see, but, I want to be reminded that I have been fortunate in my lifetime of places seen versus those not seen. 

      The states that I have not traveled to are Montana, Alaska, North Dakota, South and North Carolina. The only countries that I have visited are Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, and a few western Caribbean island countries like the Cayman Islands when on a Cruise in the 1980's.
 
     Several states I have traveled to or through, but, have not listed as there was not a destination memory that I felt was a "Bucket List" mention. Obviously, you will have your own.

Arizona.----  Grand Canyon National Park.

California.----  San Francisco & vicinity, Death Valley, Disneyland, Del Coronado Hotel, Redwoods, Rose Bowl Parade, and Rose Bowl game in 1980.


Colorado---- Great Sand Dunes National Park, White water rafting on Arkansas River below the Royal Gorge, snow skiing in Summit County, view from Pikes Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, Durango area, Garden of the Gods, and just all of the sheer beauty of the state.

Florida----Disneyworld, The Keys, and Miami with Caribbean cruise start.

Hawaii---- Waikiki, and most all of Maui.

Illinois-----Chicago, and Chicago Cubs first night game at Wrigley Field in 1988.
