Ever since I was a teenager, I've dreamed of visiting the Polynesian Islands. It all started when Titi (my aunt) came back from her honeymoon. Every photo was a postcard. Could a place so beautiful and perfect really exist? From that moment on, I knew I'd have to visit this paradise. I can just imagine waking up and walking out my little hut in the middle of the ocean to watch the sun rise or snorkeling in the clear blue water as fish swim around me. And of course taking a small boat out to another island to experience the natural beauty of these islands all over again. Yes... this is a place I will visit one day. Unfortunately, timing isn't right but one day I'll experience it. I know it.
Even though visiting the Polynesian Islands is my ultimate vacation it isn't my dream journey.
My dream journey is to visit countries I will probably never visit due to political or cultural differences. Traveling to some of these countries may be considered dangerous for an American woman.
My dream journey would be to visit Egypt, Morocco, Israel, Cuba and some areas in the Middle East. Of course these countries are not completely unattainable but traveling to these places does carry risk. A risk I'm not willing to take at this point in my life. How amazing would it be to sleep in a tent in the middle of the desert and wake up with the sight of pyramids in the distance or walk the same streets Jesus did. Yes, this is my dream journey.
Perhaps one day our world will become a safer more peaceful place so that my dream journey can become a reality. But for right now I will continue to hope and dream.
This post made me realize I don't have a dream journey and wonder why...Hmmmm. That's food for thought....

Hmm. It is sad that this is true. My friend did travel to Egypt and Israel-- alone, no less. She was held in the airport in Egypt and made to strip naked, and questioned to for hours. For no reason, other than being and American who had gone to Israel. It was horrible! But. She loved it before that. She was spit on my little kids in the street, but she still loved it. LOL

My dream Journey was to Morrocco and in 2000 after serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Bulgaria, I travelled by myself to Morrocco and spent the next two weeks exploring. It was wonderful and I had no problems what so ever.
