Lately i’ve been daydreaming a little too much, thanks to Amanda from Marshall’s Abroad and her gorgeous travel photography. That i’ve been bugging my husband to sit down with me and make a travel wish list of places we want to travel to during the three years that we will be stationed here in Okinawa, Japan. I even got another married couple all excited about planning trips together while we’re here. Let’s just say we’re all anxious to explore this side of the world.
These are the places that made it into our wishlist:
1. New Zealand
New Zealand has always been in my husband’s travel wishlist but after reading all of the posts on Marshall’s Abroad about their recent vacation there, now i can’t stop myself from thinking of this country. It is definitely the place we want to visit the most while we’re here. Even while browsing pictures i find myself just staring into them for some minutes, simply because the scenery is breathtaking and if the pictures make me feel like that… i can’t imagine what the real thing will be like.
2. Tokyo, Japan
This trip is a must, either taking a Space-A flight (military flight, which is free) to mainland Japan and then taking a train to Tokyo, or buying a $75 plane ticket and then taking the train to Tokyo, either way we want to take this trip a couple of times while we’re here. We also want to visit Tokyo Disneyland in one of those trips and Osaka in another, especially during Cherry Blossom Festivals. 🙂
3. Mo’orea, French Polynesia
This will definitely be our honeymoon trip, even if it doesn’t happen as soon as the wedding ends. I’ve always watched Travel Channel and dreamed of staying in one of these Hut’s someday. Once again Amanda from Marshall’s Abroad has shown me a place that i just need to travel to. French Polynesia is made up of a group of islands, including, Tahiti (the largest island), Bora Bora and Mo’orea. Bora Bora has the Four Seasons Resort but Mo’orea has the Hilton Lagoon Resort & Spa, both the same concept but Mo’orea is cheaper than Bora Bora, though we would definitely like to see Bora Bora as well.
4. Seoul, South Korea
6. Thailand
After researching this country i want to go even more!! I would definitely like to take a tour with MCCS Okinawa +Tours, a group that plans tours all around Asia with discounts for military families, mainly because it’s all inclusive and you can choose between taking the tours or wander around the cities on your own, plus you get the chance to travel with other people from Okinawa. I would like to visit the Grand Palace, the Floating Market, the Wat Pho Buddist Temple known for the Reclining Buddha statue.
7. China
8. Trans-Siberian Railway
