Here are some of the resources that I use to plan where I would like to go and what I would like to do when I get there. These two activities are interdependent and one may lead to the other. When I first started creating my bucket list, I realized quickly that all I was doing was creating a list of places to go (and a long one at that). I started to combine them so Egypt and Scuba Diving became SCUBA Diving on Cleopatra’s Palace in Alexandria Harbour. The list below is a great start to planning and discovering your next trip:
