Weekend Assignment: Far Away
Fresh when it gets here from

What is the #1 place you'd like to visit that you haven't been to yet? Do you think it's likely that you'll ever get there?
Right now the answer is, "anywhere but here." Granted, that's not terribly exotic, nor is it in the spirit of the assignment, so I'll try for something interesting.
I'd love to visit parts of Asia. In particular, the Taj Mahal in India and the Great Wall of China. I want to return to England someday.
The latter is probably more likely than the former, but won't happen for several years yet, I suspect.
Extra Credit: What is the farthest place from home that you've ever been?
I suppose that would have been our 1990 trip to Europe. We made it as far east as Salzburg in Austria. That was a lovely trip. We rented a car in Germany and took off driving with no particular destination in mind. I wonder if that sort of thing is even possible today, or if being an aimless vacationer gets one branded as a terrorist.
Apologies for the shortness of the piece. I'm still dealing with the con crud. I don't have the flu, at least. But I did decided to hit Barnes and Noble and spend the weekend in bed with books. I'm afraid that's about as exotic as it gets for me right now, but given the frenetic pace of my last month, I've earned it. And perhaps the bed is as far as I need to go right now.

Ooh, China. China would be great! But reading in bed is good too. ;)
