Australia

I would love to visit Australia and walk in any number of places. One thing I would love to do is climb to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

I work in Annapolis...

And have done 4 of the walks on here. My favorite is Point Lobos in Caramel-by-the-Sea. If you do the Annapolis walk I would suggest going into the Naval Academy during formation (bring a photo id and you can go in). The best time to visit for fun is during the Blue Angels flyover/practice day in late May or during a boat show. In the State House don't waste too much time looking at our existing chambers--go to the back right and you will find the 'old Senate Chamber'. If it's open then you can find Washington's footsteps marked on the ground where he resigned his commission as Commander-in-Chief. Nearby you can also find the 'Treaty of Paris' at the Maryland Inn and get coffee in a Starbucks that was the basement to the famous Inn which hosted folks for Treaty of Paris. Just my two cents worth.

Country Walk with a Llama

It's one thing to take a walk, but entirely another to transport yourself to a country setting and herd a pack a llamas while walking on a trail. That's a real bucket list item: a ShangriLlama walk. Facebook has more info under keyword ShangriLlama!

Istanbul and Turkey

I booked a walking tour of Istanbul and Turkey. I want to see more of those ancient cities and cultures. I would love to see Mount Everest Base Camp, but I can't tolerate high altitude.
