Destination... Unknown


Ahh, only two weeks into the return of school, and I'm already thinking about the next few trips to take. Traveling brings to mind some great memories. Whether it was a trip down to the cottage in the summer, a trip to Europe, or even coming back here to Halifax, it always is something special. As of lately, there have been quite a few places I've been thinking I'd like to visit some day, particularly here in Canada. Actually, it will be my goal within the next few years or so to actually travel around the country, as I have never done so. (Talk about disgraceful as a Canadian!) Also... This is a rather autumn-themed post, just to get us in the swing of the season.

1. The Cabot Trail in Cape Breton. I've heard a lot about it lately, and certainly has an appeal growing on me. Apparently the drive through is about four days(!!).

And if it looks this pretty in the fall, then I'd love to visit it right about... now. Please?

This is in Saskatchewan. Image from here
2. The Prairies. Sure, some may argue that it's all flat and boring, but there have to be some nice spots like this! I'd love to see it for myself. Plus, when I read this when I was younger, and that kind of drew me to the Prairies.

3. Vancouver, yes, in all of it's post-Olympics glory. It's like Toronto's cooler cousin, who doesn't even try to be. It just is.

4. Montreal, Toronto's other cool cousin. But on a more Frenchy and sophisticated level.

There are certainly places outside of Canada that I've been dying to visit! Too many, in fact, so I'll shall limit myself to the top 4 (in no particular order):

The French Countryside!!

New York!!! In the fall, preferably. Or winter, or spring.

Scotland!! My parents went a few summers ago, and absolutely loved it. This picture (from here) is in Applecross.

Alas, I can't think of a fourth place I'd like to visit one day. If you think of one, do tell! Wherever the scenery is incredible.

Just to let all you know, my posts might be sporadic for the next while. Actually, they're probably already sporadic, but it will be more than usual around this time of year. (You know, school.) But I'll try to post when I get free moments! They'll likely be food related, because when I won't be concentrated on work, I'll be concentrated on eating.
Enjoy the week!

ps: I'm already thinking ahead to Christmas. I mean, there are only 90 some-odd days, but... WHHYYYY???!!
