What's next on my "bucket list?"

Well, I fulfilled one of the items, I saw and actually stepped into the Pacific ocean.

(Had never been there before.)



So what's next?

I'd love to go to Jolly Olde England, and stand in an old castle.

Or go to one of the Disney theme parks.

Go fishing in the ocean.

Pacific Ocean is not for sissys. Cold, rough water. Atlantic is a little easier for starters, especially in SC area, etc.

Hope you get to fulfill one or more of the next few before long!!

In fall of 2019 my husband and I went to the UK. We spent a lot of time in Scotland, England, and Wales. I think our favorite castle was Caernarvon, but there was another in southern Wales (whose name escapes me) that was pretty cool.

In Scotland, the castle of Old Wick was amazing. It's pretty much ruined but the location is impressive:


The same day we went to Castle Sinclair Girnigoe:




The only preserved Scottish castle we saw was Castle Dunrobin but we went for the falconry show, not the castle itself.




I don't have my pictures of the Welsh castles posted yet, but we liked them a lot. We did go to Windsor with a tour, but it just wasn't as cool as the derelict castles we visited. Of course, my best memories of the trip were of the archeological sites and standing stones.
