"Local" Travel Bucket List Spell Out
January 1, 2019 Until Completion

We always dream of traveling around the world, but sometimes we forget that there are some great places to see in our own backyard.


Here's how it works:

⇨ FIRST: Make a list of 10 local travel destinations/activities you would like to do this year.

THEN . . .

⇨ Spell out your 10 destinations: You can use any of the following to complete a letter:
1. First letter of the Book's title or Series Title (Use or Ignore A, An or The)
2. First letter of the Author's first or last name
3. First letter of a Main Character's first or last name

BUT THERE IS A TWIST. . .

⇨ The Twist!!
One of the books you use to spell out each location must have another connection to the destination. For example: If your travel destination is Skiing at Snow Summit. A connection could be the characters go skiing or there is snow on the cover. If you can justify the connection - go for it! But please include the connection when posting the book.

*Note: If there are more than 100 letters in your locations you will need an extra spot. So grab it now!

Have fun exploring your local area this year!!!

I'm really going to let you decide that Rosa. But a good guideline would be someplace you can get to and back in one day driving.

Thanks for joining me Bonita! Thought I was going to be all by myself :)

Figuring out the itinerary took a while! I had to think back to when our kids were younger and where we would take them.

That's true!! I have had a couple weeks to think about mine...lol.

Jan wrote: "Rosa wrote: "how 'local' is local?"
I'm really going to let you decide that Rosa. But a good guideline would be someplace you can get to and back in one day driving."

Thank you! I'll think about it

I'm in, Jan! I need to get my places lined up though, so will be back shortly with my list.

* Twist- The FBI agent MC calls on the goddesses of ancient culture to cast spells.
Nashville's Parthenon has a 42-foot tall statue of the goddess Athena holding a 5-foot tall Nike. Nashville's Parthenon, and the statues, are full-scale replicas of the building and statues from ancient Athens. On cool summer nights, Park staff open the bronze doors that weigh 7.5 tons each and are 7 feet wide, 24 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The open doors allow Athena to see beyond Centennial Park to the Nashville skyline. (It is a breathtaking and awe-inspiring experience to stand at Athena's feet and look out over my beloved adopted hometown.)

Twist: Fireworks on cover. Plot includes a Tennessee Fourth of July celebration that includes fireworks.
Nashville's fireworks display frequently makes 10-best lists, including Town and Country; Travel and Leisure; TripSavvy, People; FoxNews; Condé Nast Traveler. The Travel Channel reports that it attracts "the largest Fourth of July crowd in the South" which is why after 40+ years of braving 95 degree temperatures interspersed with pouring rain, my porch swing is on this list, sigh.

Twist 1: Before the New York Times cursed Nashville as the "It City", we only needed one area code--615. A small nonprofit called Project 615 copyrighted their tee shirt slogan "Spread Love It's the Nashville Way". There's no place I'd rather be than Nashville, I just wish I had more time to sit quietly on my porch swing.

Glad your jumping in on this one Lynda! I love your places you've chosen.

Jan, I just noticed I'm not linked in the list of participants. Would you mind adding me? Thanks!

Sure thing Sarah!! I must have gotten distracted since I did see you had joined.

BC - you must live close to me! I live in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. A lot of your spots are within driving distance for me.

If you go yo to Cedarburg, make sure you check out the winery. Their wines are really good. I found them through their sister winery in Prairie Du Sac.

I went to the WI state fair a couple of years ago and I was surprised that it was so much smaller than I remembered it from a kid. Isn't that always the way? I hope you get to these locations in person. :)

Hi Jen....welcome to the challenge. I'm not sure you got everything posted. I'm not seeing your first post. If you can repost both I will get you linked up.

That's funny that you have a lot of the same places as BC :)

I actually haven't posted anything yet. Still deciding what I would like to do. I was commenting on how I have been to a lot of the places on BC's list. :)

You didn't miss anything. Sorry for any confusion.

I am thinking of sitting this one out as I have quite a few challenges going already and not as much time to read as I would like.

Sorry I misunderstood Jen!! No problem.

Jennifer C wrote: "BC - you must live close to me! I live in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. A lot of your spots are within driving distance for me. ..."

Yes, I've done all these things in the past, just hoping to do them again this year.

The Northern suburbs of CHI are definitely a driving distance (or commuter train) journey. Send me a PM with some details and maybe the next time I'm headed to Great Lakes we can meet up for coffee or ???

* Twist- The FBI agent MC calls on the goddesses of ancient culture to cast spells.
Nashville's Parthenon has a 42-foot tall statue of the goddess Athena holding a 5-foot tall Nike. Nashville's Parthenon, and the statues, are full-scale replicas of the building and statues from ancient Athens. On cool summer nights, Park staff open the bronze doors that weigh 7.5 tons each and are 7 feet wide, 24 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The open doors allow Athena to see beyond Centennial Park to the Nashville skyline. (It is a breathtaking and awe-inspiring experience to stand at Athena's feet and look out over my beloved adopted hometown.)

Nashville's fireworks display frequently makes 10-best lists, including Town and Country; Travel and Leisure; TripSavvy, People; FoxNews; Condé Nast Traveler. The Travel Channel reports that it attracts "the largest Fourth of July crowd in the South" which is why after 40+ years of braving 95 degree temperatures interspersed with pouring rain, my porch swing is on this list, sigh.

Twist 1: Before the New York Times cursed Nashville as the "It City", we only needed one area code--615. A small nonprofit called Project 615 copyrighted their tee shirt slogan "Spread Love It's the Nashville Way". There's no place I'd rather be than Nashville, I just wish I had more time to sit quietly on my porch swing.
