Travel Goals for 2017

A couple years ago, I started writing a list of travel goals at the beginning of each year.  I have rarely accomplished much on this list, but it is fun to write out places I want to try to go and think about how I might make it happen.

In 2016, my travel planning ended up being a bit more organic, than I might have expected. Receiving two discount vouchers on Alaska Air led to a weekend in Austin and a roadtrip to Sequoia/King's Canyon (which was the only item on my 2016 list that I accomplished).  And wanting a trip somewhere before some family time in August, led to 10 days in Newfoundland. The highlight of the year and totally unexpected, was a week in China.  I found out about 2 weeks beforehand that I would be able to tag along on my boyfriend's business trip to Beijing and central China.

And so, on to 2017.  I just started a new job, so I'm not expecting a lot of big travel to happen this year, but perhaps some weekends here and there.

1.  visit one of the states I haven't been to:  NE, MS, AR, OK                                                      

 2.  National parks of California - Channel Islands or sites around Oakland                                  

3.  lots of camping                                                                                                                          

4.  see Hamilton??? (maybe December in NYC?)                                                                          

5.  city weekends:  DC, Sitka, NYC, Atlanta, Charleston, Victoria                                           

6.  something tropical - Hawaii, Tahiti, Belize, Dominica
