Over There! #MFRWauthor Blog Challenge Week 17

Hello, and welcome to another installment of the MFRWauthor 52-Week Blog Challenge. This week's question is: The Top Five Places I'd Like to Visit I've included a Linky at the end of this post so you can visit everyone's submission to this week's Hop.

It's Week 16 of the 52-Week BlogHop Challenge and this time, I'm supposed to tell you about My Biggest Dream in Life , but like a few of the other contributors, I've got more than just one. I'll start with the trivial things: Eternal Youth Vanity by Hans Memling Lots and Lots of Money and Being Able to Travel the World Then tone it down a bit with the semi-realistic: Becoming a Successful Writer and Landing on A Best-Seller List Which would bring my dreams full circle as I'd then be able to travel the world with my loads of money AND get the cosmetic surgery out of the way! In all seriousness, though... my lifes' dream has changed so many times it is hard to say exactly what it is I really want out of what is left of the rest of my life. To be happy...
