coupland's Journal: Weekend trips

I think this summer I'd like to take a few weekend trips to see some destinations close enough to reach by driving. Definitely upstate New York, perhaps Pennsylvania, maybe even Ohio? Some candidate destinations:

Buffalo
Albany
Rochester
Pittsburgh
Cleveland
Quebec City
Cincinatti

More long-term plans include a trip to Miami, maybe spending 2 days in the city proper. Then a day on a swamp boat tour of the Everglades and perhaps an additional 2 days to explore the keys. At some point I'd also like to hit Chicago, perhaps the Twin Cities, and definitely Louisiana. And Newfoundland and the maritimes at some point.

Even longer-term, larger trips include:

  - the pyramids at Cancun
  - Lima, Peru
  - Buenos Aires, Argentina
  - Santiago, Chile
  - Cuba
  - St. Martin
  - Madagascar
  - Iceland
  - Spain, Portugal
  - Belgium, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Poland, Prague, France, Italy, Germany, Bucharest, Vienna, Stockholm, Helsinki
  - Istanbul, Baghdad, Cairo
  - Vietnam, Bangkok, Shanghai
  - Mumbai, Delhi
  - Australia, New Zealand
  - Tokyo, Japan
  - Fiji
  - Vladivostok

That a long enough list? Ahh to be rich and sell all my possessions (except my 'puter, of course!) and travel the world. It doesn't hurt to wish...
