Where would you go if you could travel anywhere in the world?

I actually never left the country until the end of my college years for an epic, almost free trip to the Bahamas with a friend whose family owned an island (yes, apparently that's a thing, and also, why am I no longer friends with him?!). Well, I guess there also was one day trip to Canada, but we only went to Sault Ste. Marie for lunch and then left so I don't really count it. This was back in the day when you could get into Canada with just a driver's license (or in my younger sister's case, her library card!!) so it didn't really feel like you were leaving the country.

To me, going on an international trip just didn't seem like something I could actually do. Like how now I don't quite understand that I could just go to the doctor and get Lasik surgery if I wanted to. Literally, the concept that I could just buy airline tickets and go just didn't occur to me, until Jeff started wanting to go on a big trip with me (that sneaky man was looking for a place to propose). We've now taken three big trips out of the country, and my travel bug is still itching us to do more.

So my dream trip? Right now it's Paris. I know it's so cliché and that everyone's dream trip is Paris, but I just can't help myself. The tiny hipster inside of me that tries to avoid clichés at all costs has ensured that we've visited Morocco and Vietnam, but somehow not France! I studied French for six years in school and somehow retained none of the language but all of the dreams of Paris. I would love to stroll down pretty tree-lined avenues eating a baguette, see the Eiffel Tower twinkle at night, load up on all of the cheese and rosé, check out the Louvre and the Centre Pompidou, and do some serious shopping damage on the Champs Élysées. Or at least some serious window-shopping damage. From Paris we would rent a cute little convertible and drive down through Provence and the French Riviera, and maybe even end our trip in northern Italy. A girl can dream, right?

So tell me - what's your dream trip?
