travel does the ♥ good

It's no secret that traveling is one of my favorite- if not, my MOST favorite hobby. I'd rather not spend money daily, weekly,  or monthly on a hobby, but rather save money for traveling. Now that I am done with school (kind of, still have one more teaching certificate to get) I feel like I can plan some trips. I was googling some of the top places in the US to go. I do want to travel outside of the US, but I don't have a passport yet and I want to see more of my own country before exploring the rest of the world. 

I have two upcoming trips in 2014 - Las Vegas and Los Angeles. This will be my 5th Las Vegas trip, but my first true LA trip. I have been to Disneyland, Universal Studios ans of course, LAX several times, but I have yet to spend any amount of time exploring that city.  



Speaking of the top 25 places to see in the US- I have been to 8 of them. Eight! Can you believe that? That is not too many. 



Here they are :
1. New York City, New York
2. San Francisco, California            √
3. Chicago, Illinois                          √
4. Las Vegas, Nevada                      √
5. Orlando, Florida                            √
6. Washington DC
7. Boston, Massachusetts 
8. Los Angeles, California                     (almost!) 
9. Honolulu, Hawaii                        √
10. New Orleans, Louisiana
11. Seattle, Washington                          √
12. Miami, Florida
13. Sedona, Arizona
14. Savannah, Georgia
15. Charleston, South Carolina
16. Napa, California 
17. San Antonio, Texas
18. Lahaina, Hawaii
19. Portland, Oregon                                √
20. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania  
21. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
22. Kona, Hawaii                                           √
23. Palm Spring, California
24. Naples, Florida
25. Houston, Texas

So look... I have been to FOUR of the top FIVE travel destinations! That's awesome! I am disappointed that some places I have spent some time in are not on the list, such as . . .

• Nashville
• Tampa
• Dallas
• Cincinnati
• Phoenix 

There are many other cites I have been to while traveling the US, but those five stand out as pretty epic, must see places! 

Thinking about outside the US, some places I really want to see are: Fiji and possibly Australia. I think Italy would be fun too! Right now, my heart is in the US and seeing all those country has to offer. After LA I wonder where I will go next . . .

Suggestions?!
