Destinations-Travel Genie Grants Three Wishes

Where in the world would you go if time, money, obligations were not a problem? Do you have a wish list of places you want to see "someday". If you do, get it out and look at it. If you don't, sit right down when you finish reading this blog and make a list. You can't get to those destinations on your list if you don't know where you want to go.

One more suggestion-don't write that list on a piece of paper. Instead get a spiral notebook or three ring binder and put that list on the first page. Set up the list with destinations on the left hand side of the page, then make column for date you put it on the list, another column for a target date to start traveling (remember this is a "wish list" at this time, so don't let your current world end the project now-put a target date down and not one 10 years from now).
Then a final column-date trip completed!

Travel Destinations
Destination---Date listed------Travel Date ------End of Trip
__________________________________________________________________________________
  1. Silk road Uzbekistan ---6/24/00 -----9/14/01 -------10/01/01
  2. Uganda, Africa------- 5/15/04 ---- 6/21/04 -------7/5/04
  3. Train across USA -- 2/12/07 ----9/27/07 ---------????
Make your list as long as you want, if you don't have destinations in mind, then list places you want to see, or things you want to do-attend Chelsea flower show in London; have tea at the hotel overlooking Lake Louise in Canada; take the hydrafoil on the fjords in Norway-it's your list put it all down.

Over the next posts, I'll show you how to contact the "genie" within you so you can collect those three wishes and start traveling by your target date.
