My Favorite, Can't Wait, and the Place I Live

My three month stint as co-host with Bonnie and Melanie has come to an end.  I've so enjoyed being a co-host and working alongside these two.  I look forward to this link up every week, living vicariously through everyone and reminiscing places we've been.  I'll still be around though.

Bonnie has chosen a great travel theme this month that's had me doing a lot of thinking.  Our favorite place, a place we cannot wait to visit and something about the place we live.

I love to travel so to say the place I love the most is so very difficult!!  Really, every place I've been is a favorite in one way or another.

As I was watching a show set by the beach I realized that is truly my favorite place on earth.  By the ocean.  Whether it be.....

Homer, Alaska



Galveston, Texas



 Southern, Spain





Or any such place, I am happy by the water!  The seafood, the smells, the sights, the water, the sand, the surf, rocks, cliffs, the wildlife, sea glass, seashells, oh how I love it all any time of year, any climate!

My Can't Wait

The place I cannot wait to visit is usually the place I am going to next.  The build up, the planning, mapping out a route of where to go and what to see gets me so excited.  Our next trip is to Portugal in June for our anniversary and I'm so looking forward to it!  Five days exploring Lisbon, Cascais, Estoril and Sintra.

The Place I Live

We currently live in the quiet town of Horsham, West Sussex.  It has quite a history, first recorded in AD 947 and is best known for horse trading in medieval times.  It's not a touristy town and not very lively if you're looking for a night life.  It is, however, a great place to raise a family with good schools, family values, and low crime rate.  It was hilarious to find that Horsham is placed 27th in the satirical book: Crap Towns: 50 Worst Places To Live in the UK.  All because they refused a night club!  Oh well, we're happy with our sleepy, so called boring town with no night club!

Horsham has been a great location for exploring southern England.  The coast, many castles, gardens and historical towns all within easy reach.

Where is your favorite place and a place you can't wait to go?

For my last feature as co-host, I've chosen Jamie, from ink + adventure, an American expat and teacher in Taiwan.  I was so enamored by the multiple layered grass-roof pagodas on her trip to Taman Ayun Royal Temple in Bali.  So fascinating!
