At one point or another everyone dreams about exploring the world and experiencing all that it has to offer.  I first developed the travel bug when I was a young boy and its stuck with me for my whole life (and I'm not exactly a young boy anymore).  This is actaully one of 2 bucket lists that I've created in my life.  This one includes a list of the most amazing global destinations you could ever hope to put down on paper.  If you're curious about the second list then read my blog: A Tale of 2 Bucket Lists.

The plan is to check off the places I've visited as I write about my experiences.  If there's a check in the box and the destination is highlighted in BLUE, read my blog and then check out my PlanetHop! Passport where I've collected all of my destination stamps and photos.
