I am trading my California flip flops for a pair of hiking boots!
NEXT stop, the Amazon Tropical Rainforest, the largest forest in the world!!!
MY main reason for wanting to go to the rainforest is to see all of the diverse plant and animal species.
ANOTHER advantage would be to learn about the culture there.
IT is probably a good idea to bring an extra can of hairspray... so I can tame my hair when it reacts with the humidity.
IF I had the chance to see every animal at the rainforest I really would, but since I cannot do that, I will narrow my list down to the top ten animals I must check off on my must see list.
NUMBER one: An Anaconda. Ever since I was little I had this crazy fascination about anacondas. I had an imaginary pet one too. I know that sounds really strange, but I always wanted to a large one, like from the Scifi movies.
NUMBER two: Toucans are probably one of the prettiest birds along with parrotts and male pecocks. In art class back in high school, I did two art projects dealing with toucans. I really want to see one because its beak is long and colorful.
NUMBER three: Jaguars are not only very fast but they are very pretty mammal species.
NUMBER four: Orangutans are bright orange monkeys. I would want to see them swing from the trees and I would love to take a look at their vibrant fur.
NUMBER five: I have never seen an Aunt Eater. Even though I think eating aunts would be really gross, I still want to see a Aunt Eater up close in person.
NUMBER six: Amazon River Dolphin. I think Dolphin's are one of the prettiest water creatures and I have never seen one in person, not even at a zoo.
NUMBER seven: I would not go up and touch it, but I think it would be cool to see one of the poisonous dart frogs.
NUMBER eight: If I went by myself I would need to go find a Parrott so I could at least have something to talk to. Parrotts along with Toucans are very pretty bird species. I love the bright colors.
NUMBER nine: While I am it, I would even have to go to the Amazon River and take a look at the Piranhas. I have never seen one in person and I really want to see what one looks like, not to mention I would want to see how sharp its teeth actually are.
NUMBER ten: Ever since I watched the show Avatar The Last Airbender on Nikeloden, I have always wanted to see a lemur. I love lemurs so much that I named my golden retriver Momo, the lemur from Avatar.

THOSE are my top ten pics of animals I would be sure to see.

EVER since I was little, traveling the world has been one of my biggest dreams.
I have high hopes that I will get to visit the world one step at a time.
IT was not easy narrowing the list down of the places I want to go.
ACTUALLY, I want to travel just about everywhere, but for my readers I have narrowed the list down into eight places that I would love to go.
INSTEAD of going in the order in wish I want to travel first, I am going to work from the west coast of the world starting with California and working my to the other side of the world.
MY first stop in California would be the airport...
OKAY, no I would visit the San Diego Zoo. I absolutely love animals and I have heard so many great things about this zoo. Not to mention, it is the biggest in the United States. I love going to the zoo and I go every year in Ohio.
REDWOOD Forest! The word is not near as big as the trees. I have a huge fascination with big trees and I would make the trip to Sacremento to visit these. I could spend hours just hiking and looking through the forest.
HELLO sunshine! Along with trees, nature, and plants, I love the beach. I would want to go to the Venice Beach. I would lay out all day and tan. If I am feeling lucky, I would take a surfing lesson and hoping I would not get eaten by a shark or drown. I would also visit nearby aquariums, look at the beach houses, and watch the sunset. Oh and cannot forget that I would build a sand castle!
MY last stop in California would be to go to the biggest shopping center, Del Amo mall, in Torance California. Like most girl's I love to go shopping. I love buying new things and looking at new stores that Ohio does not offer.

THESE are the few of many things I would love to do while I would be in California. I am sure I could do a million things there, but these are the few that spark my interest the most.
