Tuesday fun 8/14/07
If you could travel anywhere in the world (besides to get your child) what three places would you like to visit the most, and why? If it's a place you've actually been before, what did you find the most intriguing about the place?

1. I would like to eat my way through Italy.
2. I would like to travel to the village In Greece where my grandparents were born. 3. DaoXian in the Hunan province. This is where my daughter is from. Someday we will return and visit. I wish we had gone while we were in China but it was a 6 hour ride from where we were and it seemed like too much for the babies.

Love the idea of eating my way thru Italy!
My favorite places I've ever been were Holland and Switzerland. BEAUTIFUL land. I recall seeing an old lady on a side alley made of cobble stone, sitting in a chair and crocheting something in Holland. And the cafe's had dark, thick wooden tables. I would love to go to Ireland some day. The castles intrigue me. BTW, that's an adorable picture, Sparky.

Australia: Never been but would LOVE to go!
Guangxi:so we can actually enjoy it this time (and not just be in a post adoption haze) London:.been there done that but there's so much to do and the theatre is top notch. (Better than Broadway in my opinion) |

If you ever get to go to Ireland Karen I highly recommend Glendalough in Wicklow County. It is, without a doubt, one of the most gorgeous places in the world.

Italy-lived there 3 years in the military, would love to visit again. Especially for the food, authentic italian food is really good. I have not found anything as good here in the US yet. It's neat to tour castles and churches that are well over 1000 years old, sort of humbling.
China-sorry I can't help myself, for our daughters sake I'd love to spend some time there and document daily life to tell her about and show her pictures as she grows up. Anywhere tropical-spent 1/2 a day on a beach in Cozumel when we were on a cruise. It was the perfect beach setting that you dream about, and I can tell you it is very relaxing to hang out on a tropical beach.

1. Hong Kong - my favorite city on earth - we went there on our honeymoon and then I went there again last year as my brother now lives there (he has lived there since 2005 - before that he was in Japan for 12 years) with his wife and two daughters, one of whom was just born so I have not met her yet. We will be heading to HK before and after we get our baby from China, and it's going to be a blast! There is so much to do and see there, and the food is awesome and the weather should be great in November!
2. Tahiti. http://www.campanatour.cz/fotogaleri.../tahiti-22.jpg Does it need an explanation? ![]() 3. Greece - especially Mykonos.
