I was having a hard time coming up with 10 Favorite Minor Characters, so I'm doing another me Top Ten. This week: My Top Ten Places to See Before I Die. I hope to do a "Dream Vacation" post for each of these, but getting some great pictures and finding some great places of interest may take a while. So here's a little list to spark my imagination. In no particular order: 1. Greece -- The History, the Culture, the Food, the Mystery, the Alcohol. How could I not got to Greece and see the cradle of our Western Civilization? I want to see Athens, but also the small villages and islands off the mainland. This would be a great honeymoon!

2. Grand Canyon -- I feel like I must see this natural wonder. I know it's a huge hole in the ground, but the scale is so massive, I just can't truly picture it in my mind.

3. Italy -- I want the wine and the sun and the food.

4. Alexandria, Egypt -- The shining city of ancient times. I would love to see where the Nile empties into the Mediterranean, where Alexander the Great planned the jewel of his empire, where the lighthouse and library once stood.

5. Ireland -- Those green rolling hills call to me and I'm not even Irish!

6. Barcelona, Spain -- Ever since taking Spanish in high school, I've wanted to visit this coastal city known for its food. Plus it would be fun to actually try out my Spanish.

7. Austrailia (probably Sydney) -- The Land Down Under just seems like a great place to visit.

8. Turkey -- The mix of Western and Eastern culture intrigues me. Plus great food and music!

9. Morocco -- Another interesting mix of African and Muslim cultures creating a whole new city.

10. San Francisco, California -- Yeah, Yeah I've already been here, but I would love to go again. I absolutely adored the city when I vacationed there a couple of years ago. I would love to revisit all my favorite spots and hit some of those places that I missed.

Where do you want to go?
