I have decided to start a bucket list of places I’d like to travel. A coworker said to me, “You’re almost 40. Stop waiting on other people to do what you want,” and she was right. There are so many things to see, just in the U.S. alone, and I have visited frighteningly few places in my lifetime. I would like to remedy that over the next couple of years.

With that in mind, welcome to my new blog series! I am going to post about places I’d like to go, and hopefully I’ll be sharing a follow-up about actually being there soon!

The first location is Jekyll Island, Georgia.

Okay, it’s not super exotic or anything, and it’s not even terribly far from home, but…

There’s a fair amount to do there, and I love beaches and the water.

“Why not just go to Florida?” you may ask.

Well, I’ve been there. And there are places in the Sunshine State that will definitely be on my bucket list. However, Florida doesn’t have Driftwood Beach – and that particular destination has been on my radar since I first heard about it.
