100 places i want to go before i die
that might sound a little more morbid than i meant it to be, but i was going for more of the inspirational travel to do list type of thing…. anyway. last year i filled up my passport and saw a lot of world, but man there is a lot more world to see! i’m going to make a running list of places i want to go that i’ve never been before, places that i’d like to go again, and things i’d like to do/see while i’m there. i’ll get to 100 eventually…

ooh. there’s so much of these i want to join you on. i bought you one of those calendar page a day things with places to see. i’m sure you’ll get more ideas from it when i finally give it to you. but off the top of my head, here are some thoughts…
go to tikal to see the the mayan ruins in guatemala. i went there when i was 12. absolutely amazing. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikal)
also, let’s go to carnival in brazil. that’s something i’ve always wanted to do. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Carnival)
alaska is also amazing…
and would you be interested in kaho`olawe? it was cool to go there for me, essp since we’ve seen it a million times across from maui. it was cool to be on kaho`olawe and seeing the shores of maui from it.
hmm. i’ll continue to think. but it sounds absolutely wonderful malia
