What makes a “Bucket List” trip for a travel professional? We do have LISTS. These consist of destinations, activities, people to travel with and special journeys we wish to undertake as our lives and experiences progress. I image this list morphs through time; when you’re young, you want the party, the adventure, the crazy things to do like skydiving in Switzerland or hiking to a remote village in Chili. When you have children, you list includes fun things you can do together or your own childhood experiences you wish for your OWN children to experience. Or maybe that special adult trip without the littles. I am in that “empty nester” stage – my kids are young adults, and while I still LOVE traveling with them and experiencing the world with them, I feel like I have the ability now to place my own lists first and foremost.

I have had the great fortune to take bucket list trips before. Perhaps it comes with the territory; I am a travel agent for a reason – I LOVE travel. It would be a logical sequence to imagine that I do it often – and I do!

But THIS bucket list trip is extra special – because I am going on the ultimate type of travel – – TIME travel. OK, that might be a little dramatic, but I am going so far BACK in time that I will arrive in the FUTURE! How does this work, you might ask? I’m going to Australia!!!

We depart on Day 1 and travel BACK in time (west) so far that we cross the International Date Line and end up in TOMORROW (we land on Day 3). That is pretty RAD!!!

We will only have 4 nights in Australia (you’ll have to check back in to see what we do), then we board a cruise bound for Hawaii! What an adventure it will be. I hope you will join in the fun and follow along!
