Where I Want To Go: Dublin

Actually, I've been here before (and I promise that the next edition of Where I Want To Go will feature somewhere I haven't actually been. Which is, y'know, most of the world). But I was only in town for the day, which gave me just enough time to hit the Guinness Storehouse & St. James' Gate Brewery. Totally awesome and definitely something I would do again.

But there's so much more to do. It seems like there are a lot of historic attractions and great people-watching. And Guinness. Lots and lots of Guinness. :) Actually, there's a lot of Ireland, I'd like to see. If I had a couple weeks, it would be fun to do some serious exploration.

Where I Want To Go: London Calling

One of my top wishes in life is to travel. I haven't taken a real trip since college, and I miss it so much! Unfortunately, due to a lack of time and money, I just have to use my imagination. But since there's a whole big world out there, I thought it would be fun to chronicle places I'd like to go. Hopefully someday I will be writing blog posts about how great my trips were to all these places.

So first off: London. I have been here twice before and I think I could go back every year of my life and never get bored. Just an amazing city. Secretly, I've always wanted to spend a year or two living there. I'd say one of my favorite things to do is visit the British Museum. I've always thought that heaven must look a little bit like the reading room. But I love almost anything about London. It is a great combination of history and history being made.

Until I get there again, cheerio!
