Oh, travel! Such a glorious and joyful discovery waits around every corner. For almost one year I have been sharing interviews, articles, and ideas about exuberant people and places in the southern USA. Now I am ready to share with you my current bucket list.
This list includes at least three places I want to visit in each of the 13 states that I cover. The things I am most eager to see are whimsical art, unusual museums, natural beauty, and a great mix of big city highlights or small town charm.
YOU NEED TO share your own unique feedback about these choices. What did YOU see and do in any of these spots? Travel blogs like this are SO MUCH better when good folks like you take time to give helpful comments.
Here are my bucket list destinations, as they stand at this moment.
ALABAMA: Florence & the “Shoals” ; Forkland ; Selma
ARKANSAS: Eureka Springs ; Fayetteville ; Fort Smith
FLORIDA: Key Biscayne ; Key Largo ; Key West
