There are so many places in the world that I'd love to visit, but we always have to consider logistics (money, other interests, time of the year). Athens is definitely one of those places that I'd love to see.Andahttp://www.travelnotesandbeyond.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-89827808112849686172014-11-03T15:36:11.356-05:002014-11-03T15:36:11.356-05:00Me too.

Been dying to go and even had flights booked which I had to cancel :( I usually pick my destinations based on flights. Occasionally there are super affordable flights available to a random location. I buy them and just go. I try to stick to new places though.

Since we want to have kids soon, a lot of places are on our "will be feasible to visit with kids" list, and we're trying to hit places we'd like to see pre-kids now!Katrina Elisabethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083877882755665975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-13026010665634919222014-10-20T12:21:17.657-04:002014-10-20T12:21:17.657-04:00It feels so much more legit that way, I feel! :PIt feels so much more legit that way, I feel! :PKatrina Elisabethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083877882755665975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-91779892579889261282014-10-19T17:39:38.302-04:002014-10-19T17:39:38.302-04:00I just love this post!

One thing I always include in my criteria is the likelihood that I'll ever get to that destination again. If I think there is a chance I'll get there some other way, I always demote it further down the list.
