Note: This is a delayed post, but I pretended I wrote this at 11:59pm of that very day itself. Hence the present tenses. Achooo!
I had to stay at home today thanks to my dratted colds. I kept sniffling, sneezing, and clearing my throat, I was frankly annoyed with myself. All the water I drank didn't help much, either. It just made me feel like a pool. A sick pool, at that.
The one highlight of my day was watching Samantha Brown's Passport to Europe on TLC. I caught her episodes on Edinburgh and London, and wished I opened the TV earlier because it seemed they were running an entire segment and all I caught were the last two. And I have to say, I LOVE HER JOB!! It's the best job in the world! You get paid a six-digit salary for traveling around Europe. Seriously.
Anyhow, her walk through Edinburgh, and then London, inspired me to create my own travel bucketlist. I was halfway through listing my must-visit-before-I-die destinations before I realized it was gonna take me a million years to finish that list. I just have so many places I want to see, visit, eat in, etc.
So I decided to divide the list by continent, starting with Europe, my travel dream above all travel dreams. Then I thought I might as well divide them by countries, because I've got about fifteen destinations each country, and jumbling them up was just asking for jeopardy. And then I thought about making collages out of them. So I did, via the ever-awesome Picnik. I only got as far as France and Italy, and only four tiles each, but I'll make more soon--and make a slideshow out of them.
This is the intro header/whatever it's called. In order of tiles, that's the Edinburgh Castle | the Musee du Louvre | the Battistero di San Giovanni and Piazza del Duomo | and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Click on the photo to view it on a larger scale.
The one on Italy is also just four tiles out of about ten to fifteen places I've listed. More slides to come this Friday. Anyhow, the names of the places are in Italian (except for the first one, which is in Venetian). In order of tiles: Canalasso | Giardini di Boboli | Piazza Venezia | Battistero di San Giovanni + Piazza del Duomo.

Here's the one on France, although that's only the first four on my list of places. I've got about twelve more to make a collage on. The names of the places are in French, but sadly in size 13 font and at the bottom because I couldn't have them marring the view. If you can't read them, they're: Chateau Versailles | Notre Dame de Paris | Musee du Louvre | and La Tour Eiffel. Typical, stereotypical France bucketlist, but since they really are must-sees, what could I do?
I've yet to make my collage for Spain, Portugal, Monaco, Switzerland, Greece, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (I love saying this in a British accent, with a flourish), Belgium, Germany, and etc. And that's just Europe. See what I mean about taking a million years to finish my list?
But for now, I shall sleep. And hope my sinuses will clear up when I wake up tomorrow morning.
Ach-ach-achoooo!
