The problem is that it would take a person at least a couple of years to see Australia. Probably more than that. Imagine how much time it would take to see even a fraction of the U.S.? Or even California? I'm fine with doing what I do, and seeing what I can.<br />Besides, my list would be miles long...Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-20363302794435425182017-04-10T06:25:46.437-07:002017-04-10T06:25:46.437-07:00Thank you Abby, it is the unexpected things you ca...Thank you Abby, it is the unexpected things you can enjoy when you don't have a list to follow, Cindy always had a list when we drove across country heading for SC, but it was always the things we stumbled onto that weren't on the list that we had the most fun at, unexpectedly having fun, I like how you worded that.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-26785210675584664172017-04-10T06:19:00.561-07:002017-04-10T06:19:00.561-07:00This sounds like a great idea, with a view like yo...This sounds like a great idea, with a view like you described would definitely be one that would be good for the soul and also clear your mind, this would have to leave you in awe.<br /><br />Yes I am sure a trip like this would be pricy but worth it at the same time.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-63878083639213459472017-04-09T21:09:35.940-07:002017-04-09T21:09:35.940-07:00I like your attitude of having certain dreams, but...I like your attitude of having certain dreams, but not feeling a need to check them off a list.

As a kid it was just dark enough in my neighborhood at night to see the Milky Way spread out the night sky. The sight of it literally would blow my little mind. <br /><br />Since then nighttime landscape lighting around homes and the simple growth of urban environments has created a great deal of light pollution that blocks out most of the stars. Another thing that makes it hard for me is that my eyesight isn't the best.<br /><br />The absolute best viewing conditions are in desert in Southern Chile close to the ultra modern and very large multinational telescopes that have been built down there. I've looked into it, there are charter trips down there but they, naturally, are quite expensive.

I love to travel, so there are places I would like to visit. I would like to see more of America, but also go back to Europe to visit more countries (like Italy). Also, I would like to visit Japan again. My dream has always been to take a cruise to Alaska!<br /><br />Fun post, Jimmy!
