Despite the traveling we are so fortunate to be able to do, and the traveling I have been blessed to have grown up doing, there are still so many parts of the World we have left to conquer, cities to see, cultures to explore, memories to create.
With limited vacation time, a budget that is anything but never ending, a yearly trip to the UK to see family and a huge amount of places we want to see we have to be realistic about where we want to go and where we will likely go in the future.
So, for now, this list falls into two categories, dreams and eventualities.
Dreams
The places I am dying to see the most are:

Giraffe Manor, Kenya (although to be honest I want to do an African safari full stop)

South Island, New Zealand - I loved the North Island so I know I would love this as well!

Antartica – this would be my seventh and final continent!

This list is anything but complete, but if I had to list my top four choices it would be those listed above. But there are so many others we want to see, and fortunately we have some of them in the pipeline, which leads me to…
Eventualities
Japan – I first visited Japan when I was 8 years old. I remember the busy city, the people everywhere, the amazing country, and we plan on returning in 2015 to introduce our kids to the same experiences.
Croatia – After reading all of the posts from our good friend about their adventures there a year ago this is even higher on our list of eventualities. We tried hard to make it work during our upcoming trip to Europe but it isn’t happening this year – but maybe next!
The Northern Lights – There are no two ways about it, this is my husband’s dream and we will make it happen, sooner than later.
Porto – Another one of my husband’s dreams. We first visited Porto when our son, F, was 10 weeks old. We would love to return without a newborn!
Our lists will change, our dreams will expand, or narrow, our eventualities will happen or they will fade. But as long as we keep trying, keep traveling, keep showing our kids the world, and letting them create their own dreams and eventualities list, we have done our job.
What are some of your dreams and eventualities?
