Bucket List travel:
Making dreams come true

One of my favorite parts of traveling is the planning. I love to dream about new places, read about other wanderers' adventures, then start planning my own.

But for some people I know, the planning is the worst part. They don't know where to start, so inevitably, they just don't. And if you don't start, you don't go.

That's where a Bucket List comes in handy...

A couple summers ago, my sister-in-law told me it had always been on her bucket list to visit Mackinac Island in Michigan. That's all it took... A girls' trip was officially in the works!

And last month, my mom told me she'd always wanted to visit Nashville, Tennessee. So... For her birthday, that's exactly what we did!

So what's on your travel Bucket List?

The list doesn't have to be long, but it can be.

And the ideas on your list don't have to be grand, but they can be.

That's the fun of a Bucket List.

It's whatever you dream of.

And if you can dream it, you can do it!
