- tour the Yucatan Peninsula, visit Mayan ruins
- visit the Burgess Shale beds in Canada, see the fossils
- learn Dineh (Navajo)
- do some plein-air painting in southern Utah and Arizona
Those are things that I might actually have a chance of doing. Now, here are some wilder fantasies:
- visit Mongolia
- visit the Holy Land, tour archaeological sites
- visit Gobekli Tepe in Turkey
- visit Ireland, Scotland, and the Faroes with special attention paid to sites such as old forts, caves, Pictish stones, and crannogs
- visit amazing megalithic Incan and pre-Incan ruins in the Andes
People whose hands I’d like to shake:
- Douglas Murray
- Andrew Klavan
- James Lindsay
- Nancy Pearcey
- Dr. Kurt Wise
If you can set any of this stuff up for me, let me know.
And yes, I know I could probably get online and at least get a start on Dineh.

Israel is a dirty filthy boring place.
I bet you’d love it! 🙂

I’m sure I would.
I now catch myself thinking things like “It’s too bad I didn’t visit Israel back when it was safe to go.”
But then I realize there never actually was such a time.

I could travel with you. Yucatan and Burgess Shale would be on my Bucket List, if I had one. How about South Africa, where our genus first lived in caves? When I mentioned Wonderwerk Cave to a blogger friend, she actually visited! It is as glorious as I suspected.

That would be wonderful, Jacqui!
With the addition South Africa, our trip just got a lot longer.
But I happen to know that TRattray is sailor. Perhaps we need a small ship.

Amazing list! I hope that you get to do at least a few of those things. I’d love to travel more. Maybe I should make a list…

Yeah, I’m not a big list person normally. Like, I don’t keep a formal TBR anywhere. But we just sort of hit critical mass where “things I’d like to do and might actually be able to” kept coming up, and I didn’t want to forget them … and they turned out to be pretty archaeology-heavy …
I would read your list.

I’m definitely a list person. I make lists in my head all the time! But I’ll have to write that one down at some point.
