Where I Want to Go in 2023 is… Everywhere

Too ambitious? Perhaps. Plus, health problems threaten to get in the way 😔

Jordhan Robinson echoed my own thoughts when he said:

“I want to go everywhere.”

Last month, I was astounded by this article by Jillian, wherein she talks about two women who indeed have been everywhere… to every country in the world to be exact:

Wow. What simply amazing women! It was fun to read about their adventures.

I do have a ways to catch up… and certainly don’t think I’ll get there by the end of this year, ha ha — although it’s a lovely thought.

My husband and I did have plans to go to several places this year, which I wrote about here:

These places include Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Since we are already in the Caribbean, traveling to most of these places would be pretty cheap. Would also love to explore Central America and South America sometime in the near future.

However, as I also recently wrote about, I have some pesky health problems that must take priority. I have nasty fibroids and will need to have surgery as soon as I can get the money together and get it scheduled.

This is highly depressing news, but such is life. I’m lucky to already be living in the island paradise of Trinidad & Tobago so I can’t complain too much.

Two of our writers have written previously about beautiful Jamaica:

Casandra Reid: “Enjoy This Island’s Sunshine, Sand and Seas

Scott-Ryan Abt: “How Do You Say Goodbye to a Place Like This?

Plus, many have already written about their own travel plans in 2023… I linked to Jordhan’s story above and mentioned several others in my recent newsletter.

Here are several more that you really should check out:
