Our Lists
Yes, we love making lists. Here's a running tally:
Our personal Seven Wonders of the World (our goal: visit them all someday):
1. The Grand Canyon - Arizona, USA (the only one we've both been too)
2. The Great Pyramids - Egypt
3. The Great Barrier Reef - Australia
4. The Great Wall of China - the last of the "great" ones
5. Migration of the Serengeti - Tanzania and Kenya
6. Machu Picchu - Peru
7. One of the following 3 waterfalls:
--A. Victoria Falls - Zambia and Zimbabwe (which Eric has seen)
--B. Angel Falls - Venezuela
--C. Iguazu Falls - Brazil and Argentina
Not really a list, but there is a separate travel goal of visiting all 7 continents (Eric's dad Tim is in on this one):
1. North America: enough said
2. Europe: Rachel and Eric conquered this in college, Tim conquered it before they were born.
3. Asia: Tim in the Navy, Rachel in Cambodia and Thailand. Eric and Rachel in Bangladesh and Turkey.
4. Africa: Eric in Zambia, Rachel in Swaziland, and hopefully Tim will get there this next year or two.
5. South America: Tim has been to Peru, Rachel and Eric plan to visit this coming fall.
6. Australia: Tim and Rachel have toured New Zealand, so the master plan will be for all three of us to meet there and strike out for...
7. Antarctica: where Tim has graciously allowed Rachel the privelege of getting off the boat from New Zealand first.
States left to visit:
1. Rachel: Alaska, Mississippi, Louisiana
2. Eric: Hawaii, Oregon, South Carolina
