The A to Z Travel List


Lia, RR and Holly were all teasing me yesterday about my choice of all "H's" for travel destinations in my previous post. The first two weren't intentional, but then I went ahead and went with it. So, I figured I'd try to think of cities, states or countries I've been able to visit. I'll see if I can get through all the letters, there'll be some blanks (what starts with "x"?) but I'll do my best.

A - Aberyswyth, Wales
B - Belize City, Belize
C - Cozumel, Mexico
D - Denver, CO
E - Edinburgh, Scotland
F - Florida
G - Georgia
H - Honduras
I - Illinois
J - Jackson, Mississippi
K - Kentucky (via ski boat)
L -Las Vegas, NV
M - Maryland
N - New York City, NY
O - Orlando, FL
P - Pittsburgh, PA
Q - Quetzaltenango, Guatemala
R - Red River, NM
S - San Francisco, CA
T - Tennessee
U - United Kingdom (minus Ireland)
V - Virginia
W - Wilkes-Barre, PA (where my dad was born)
X - I don't think these exist!
Y - York, England
Z - I'd love to go to Zurich, but I've never been.

There, I did it! Anybody else going to try?
