Life and Times of Brandi: Things to Ponder

Where the heck does Dora live, anyway? Today she and Boots went to school ... On a freakin' zip cord!

Bucket List of Places To See

Cherokee, North Carolina, a place where I can learn about my ancestors from people who still (partly) live the life my people led in the past. I'd like to soak up as much of that culture as I can before it is gone.
Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and other Holocaust sites. HIding from the past doesn't mean it didn't happen ... I'd like to see.
The Titanic Museums, both in Pigeon Porge, TN and Branson, MO. I am obsessed with anything Titanic.
The Great Smoky Mountain National Park
Easter Island
The Great Barrier Reef
The Bahamas
Machu Picchu, Peru
Swimming with dolphins in the Florida Keys
Niagara Falls
The Lewis And Clark Trail ... I'd like to travel the whole trail. It is possible that I am related to two of the men who were part of the expedition, and it fascinates that me that I may have had ancestors who knew Sacajawea.
Central Park, Times Square, and the rest of New York, New York
The Grand Canyon
Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, Cambodia
The Hagia Sophia
The Parthenon
The Taj Mahal ... I know a little of it's history but to set eyes on this beautiful building would be a memory I would treasure forever.
The Ancient City of Petra
Victoria Falls ... I bet it is truly a breathtaking sight.
Stonehenge
The Masai Mara in Kenya
Cairo, Egypt ... and The Pyramids, of course.
The Amalfi Coast in Italy, and Positano especially ...
Paris ... The Louvre, The Eiffel Tower, the cafes, the people ... every single little tiny bit of Paris ...
Italy. All of it ... I want to ride in a real gondola, drink Italian wine, see the Gallerie Dell'Accademia ...
Coaching In Bavaria and Neuschwanstein Castle, in the winter ... It is such a dream.
Salzburg's Hotel Schloss Mönchstein in Austria, not only because it is a real castle, but because it is OLD and appeals to my yen for centuries past ... Not to mention the five star status
Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and other sites in London, England
The Home of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown", because she was one of the most famous Titanic survivors, and because she led a very interesting life ...
The Isle of Skye and Kinloch Lodge, as I have always been fascinated with anything Scottish ...
The Dingle Peninsula, because anything Irish has always tugged at my heart ...
