Amy’s 2020 Top 5 Dream Vacations
I find myself daydreaming about where my next vacation should be! I love to travel but haven’t been able to much outside the US for the last 5 years. So this is a favorite pastime of mine. It’s hard to limit this list but here it is, the top 5 places I daydream most about.
No. 1 Santorini, Greece
All of Greece just sounds so dreamy and beautiful to me. My number one destination in Greece would be the beautiful city of Santorini with its iconic white homes and blue-domed roof in the Aegean Sea. I feel the most at peace near a large body of saltwater and this is why this is my number one place to visit.
Additional places to go while in the area would be Athens due to all the art, history and mythology. I’ve seen the Parthenon replica in Nashville TN and would love to see the real thing. Next would be to head over to Istanbul, Turkey and explore this amazing city. I’ve always wanted felt a draw and interest to go to Istanbul. I do admit I wish I knew more about Turkey and Istanbul.
No. 2 Seattle, Washington
This part of the U.S. has always been at the top of our list to visit and it always gets pushed off for one reason or another. I even have a cousin that lives there, who I would love to visit with. We have even more family and friends who live in by the Washington Idaho border.
Since you already know I love being by the ocean and I have always wanted to see wild orcas. I love seeing animals in their natural habitats. Seattle just seems to have a little of everything to do, like great music, hiking, city sightseeing, seafood and of course great coffee.
Our dream trip is to go to both Seattle WA and Vancouver Canada then go down to Portland and Bend Oregon and end in at the Redwood Forest in California.
No. 3 Copenhagen, Denmark
This is another one of those places that I have always wanted to go to. My father is from Norway and when we got to go to Norway several years ago and were having supper with family and they pointed out the fairy that traveled to Denmark and I really wanted to go. With it’s picturesque multi-color homes, amazing parks and statues to the way that this country is inviting and safe to travel to.
Additional travel during Denmark would be to either go to Stockholm or Germany.
No. 4 Spain
There is no city due to all the places I want to explore that I couldn’t list my top one. I want to explore the mountains of Asturias to the Balearic Islands. This country has so many different places to explore, festivals and Museums to attend, and a breathtaking sight. Of course, there are the main cities to see like Barcelona, Madrid but I’m most excited to visit Valencia and take in the country site. My dream would be to spend the winter for 2021 in Spain then travel around after.
No. 5 Prague, Czech Republic
Now, this is a new place that got added to my top 5 list. Over the past year, several people talk to me about their travels to Prague or their desires to go there. I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about this area. But Mike spoke highly of everything about Prague.
It is our 20 year anniversary this September and it is our goal to make one of these trips a reality.
