Ten On Tuesday

November 9, 2010 By Carole

It’s November in Massachusetts and that means it’s gray and cold outside. The leaves are gone and on Sunday night and Monday we had a rain/freezing rain/snow mix. Ugh. You can imagine why that was my inspiration for this week’s Ten on Tuesday topic: 10 Dream Vacations.

Palm Trees on Sanibel

  1. Hawaii. Okay, this one might actually be attainable since Dale’s very-good-friend from high school lives there and is always inviting us to visit.
  2. Tahiti. Totally because of One Particular Harbour.
  3. Turkey. I’ve wanted to visit Istanbul since I took Art History in college. Seeing Hagia Sophia in person is on my bucket list.
  4. A cruise around the Greek Islands. Everyone I know who has been to Santorini says it’s the most beautiful place on earth.
  5. A house on the beach on Cape Cod. Okay, to make this dream worthy, it needs to be right on the beach and it needs to be huge and have big windows that take in all the views of the ocean. It needs to come with a staff that prepares my meals. And wi-fi. Definitely wi-fi.
  6. Austria. I’ve wanted to go since the first time I saw The Sound of Music.
  7. Italy. Florence, Venice, Rome, Tuscany, I’d want the time to visit them all. Listen, I’d basically eat my way from one end of the country to the other.
  8. A trip across our country visiting all the national parks. In a fancy-ass RV, of course.
  9. An African safari. The kind where you sleep in a luxurious tent and eat fabulous food and have everyone else do all the work while you do all the sight-seeing and relaxing.
  10. A ranch big enough to hold all my blogging/knitting/spinning friends. I’d want you all there with me – now that would be a dream!

You know what they say – dream on!

    I’ve been to Istanbul …the Hagia Sophia is definitely bucket-worthy.

    Great list!

    Your list is pretty good! I spent most of the rainy days wishing it were snow. You can at least brush off snow!

    Great list. I’d love to go back to Istanbul and also go visit the Greek Islands that we never got to when I lived there. Oh and there is Maui too. #10 would be a blast!

    Great list! I would love to see all the parks, too. I’ve had a hankering for a RV trip lately!!

    November 9, 2010 at 7:59 am

    Fun list! I’d love to eat my way through Italy and Spain. Your mention of Istanbul has popped the They Might Be Giants song about the name change in my head! Oy!

    I’d love to go on one of those knitting camps. On the other hand, one of those barges on French rivers would be nice. These days you can actually make Italian food as good as you can get in Italy. But the food in France is really special.

    This is such a great list and I would love to visit every single place, especially Turkey, Greece and Italy. Your Ranch idea is most excellent!!

  8. Vicki says

    November 9, 2010 at 8:27 am

    Wonderful! All of the above!! Katie’s been talking about Turkey lately… maybe this spring!

  9. Brenda says

    Great list. I’ve been to a few of the places on your list and agree that you should try to get to them. Hawaii is definitely worth it; you should go while you have a free place to stay! My husband and I are going to Istanbul this spring because he has a friend living there who keeps inviting us.

  10. Cathy R says

    November 9, 2010 at 9:57 am

    Let me know when # 10 happens.

    And I would add to your list a visit to the Scottish Highlands. Absolutely beautiful, and more sheep than humans…

    I’ll join you on any of those fabulous trips! On my “must see” list is Mount Rushmore–another one of those HS fanatasies!

    Turkey? You might enjoy this blog: http://layingfallow.com/turkeyblog/
    The writer is a college English instructor in Duluth, MN, who on her sabbatical year took her family (husband and 2 kids, ~10-yo girl and ~7-yo boy) to live in Turkey. She is a great and highly entertaining writer, and I have been following her regular blog for a couple years.

    Great list- just got mine up… had fun with this one!

    I can’t believe I forgot an African safari on my list! And the Greek Isles! There are just sooooo many places I want to go, hard to narrow them down to 10. Wonderful topic, loved it!!

  15. Hillary says

    Love the ranch idea. The rest of the list is great too. Turkey, Greece, and Italy would be fab!

    When you dream – you dream big! I love it!

    A driver for the RV would be nice too.

    Yes yes yes on Santorini. Went there in college and still haven’t made it back, so sad.

    November 9, 2010 at 12:55 pm

    I think I didn’t dream enough. I missed the unattainable “large enough to hold everyone” item on my list – a ranch, a knitter’s party bus… Clearly I need to work on this “dream” thing 🙂

  20. Lucia says

    November 9, 2010 at 5:46 pm

    Oh, I forgot Greece! I so want to go there. History, culture, food *and* drop-dead view.

  21. Susanne says

    November 9, 2010 at 6:10 pm

    We just have to have our dreams, that would be my happy place, dreaming about vacation.

    lovely dreams! and I hope you get to DO a few of them!!

    Great list!!! Oh, and I love Dale’s new sweater-in-the-making. 🙂

  24. Beth says

    November 10, 2010 at 1:12 am

    Very nice list of dream vacations! I don’t necessarily enjoy the “getting there” part of a vacation so my dream vacation would involve me being beamed somewhere like on Star Trek. 🙂

  25. Hannah says

    November 10, 2010 at 9:42 am

    This list begs the question, where have you been? These are all fabulous places. Sounds like it is time to schedule a vacation!

  26. Cookie says

    November 10, 2010 at 4:20 pm

    Great list!

    Does Dale need to make you dinner? ;^)
