About 10 years ago my wife and I decided that it's not things that make life worthwhile, it's experiences and so embarked on a plan to see some of the world. We alternate between a big trip and a a smaller "city escape" every year.

So far here's our list.

Scotland: Glasgow, Pitlochery, Inverness, Stonehaven, Edinburgh
England: London, York, Bath, Windermere, Liverpool
Wales: Conwy, Cardiff
Ireland: Dublin, Wicklow
IOM: Douglas, Peel,
France: Paris, Reims, Annecy, Marseille, Aix en-Provence, Avignon
Belgium: Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges
The Netherlands: Amsterdam, Rotterdam.
Austria: Vienna, Innsbruck
Hungary: Budapest
Slovakia: Bratislava
Czech Republic: Prague, Kutna Hora
USA: Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Orlando

I don't count it. but we've also started to add a week in Bucerias, Mexico every winter.

Not having been in the military, I've traveled to about 30 of these United States, from Florida to Maine, from Seattle, WA to Joshua Tree, CA to Alaska and Hawaii, and a few places in the flyover states. To Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico, To Toronto area, and Vancouver, Canada.

And thanks to Bob Dylan, I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways
I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
and I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
