• 2:00
  Jenn: Yeah.
• 2:01
  Meggan: And we did as much as we could.
• 2:04
  Meggan: We took advantage of the time.
• 2:06
  Meggan: And yeah, no, it w it was really good to get away and I didn't know how much I needed it until we were like sitting in a cafe in Chester.
• 2:12
  Meggan: I felt so good.
• 2:16
  Meggan: Amazing.
• 2:17
  Meggan: And since we've last recorded, I became a great aunt for the first time.

  Jenn: Congratulations.
• 2:23
  Jenn: Very exciting.
• 2:25
  Meggan: January 14th, little baby Gracelynn was born.

• 2:32
  Meggan: Come here.
• 2:33
  Meggan: Young lady.
• 2:33
  Meggan: So yeah, great aunt at 45, I guess I'll take it.
• 2:36
  Meggan: Whatever, whatever.
• 2:38
  Meggan: So speaking of getting away from the everyday, like we're all dying to do this.
• 2:42
  Meggan: We wanted to have some fun this week and talk about our bucket list destinations.
• 2:47
  Meggan: People have bucket lists for a variety of things, ours, of course, with travel amongst other things.
• 2:52
  Meggan: And we hope to make these reality.
• 2:54
  Meggan: Of course one day.
• 2:55
  Meggan: So Jenn what do you got up first?
• 2:57
  Meggan: Where's your first bucket list?
• 2:58
  Jenn: My first bucket list is California.
• 3:02
  Jenn: I've always wanted to go.
• 3:03
  Jenn: I it's funny.
• 3:04
  Jenn: I, as a, a young young ish teenager, I'm not sure what year I wrote this, but I wrote like a list of things that I wanted to do in my life.
• 3:12
  Jenn: Not just travel, but travel was definitely on there.
• 3:14
  Jenn: California was on that list.
• 3:16
  Jenn: It's one of the only places on.
• 3:18
  Jenn: Specific lists that I haven't gone yet.
• 3:20
  Jenn: But California is a Disney pilgrimage for me personally.
• 3:25
  Jenn: So I've been obsessed with Disney my whole life, like the movies of course, and the parks, like I've talked about before.
• 3:32
  Jenn: But for me, it's not just that it's actually Walt, the man.
• 3:35
  Jenn: And it's really funny cause I actually, I get emotional when I like.
• 3:40
  Jenn: When I hear his voice, like when I talk about him, it's a really weird connection that I have to him.
• 3:45
  Jenn: I just.
• 3:46
  Jenn: It's I love his creativity.
• 3:48
  Jenn: I love his drive.
• 3:49
  Jenn: I love how he came from nothing and created this huge thing and how much he loved to entertain people.
• 3:56
  Jenn: So Walt never actually got to see Disney world in Florida because he died before it was finished.
• 4:03
  Jenn: So I want to go to the park that, that he built, where kind of everything started.
• 4:08
  Jenn: So Disney land in California.
• 4:11
  Jenn: You can actually like book a package where you can do like a private tour of like archives and the studios, like where they animate and make movies.
• 4:21
  Jenn: And yeah, I just, I really want to go there.
• 4:25
  Jenn: It's like experience all the things.
• 4:27
  Jenn: I also want to do like the Pacific coast highway and kind of all of the other, like California-y things, right?
• 4:34
  Jenn: Like there's tons of do in California.
• 4:36
  Jenn: That's not just Disney.
• 4:37
  Jenn: We had planned actually a whole California trip, probably like five, no more than five years ago now.
• 4:45
  Jenn: Cause we've been in COVID for so long, but probably like.
• 4:48
  Jenn: Seven or eight years ago now.
• 4:51
  Jenn: And part of the Pacific coast highway was like washed out and you would have had to drive way in land.
• 4:56
  Jenn: And we were like, what's the point of doing that trip if we can't do it the way we want to do it.
• 5:00
  Jenn: So we kind of shelved it, which, I mean, I think in the long run is a good thing.
• 5:05
  Jenn: Cause I want to do the trip the way that I want to do it.
• 5:07
  Jenn: But also now it's like, oh, we thought we would do that in like two or three years.
• 5:11
  Jenn: And now it's like, all these years later, Yeah
• 5:15
  Meggan: With climate change though.
• 5:18
  Meggan: I wouldn't wait too long.
• 5:19
  Jenn: No, no.
• 5:20
  Jenn: Before California's broken off and gone completely.
• 5:25
  Meggan: And you're going to hate me when I say this.
• 5:28
  Meggan: Been to California many times, but I went to universal, but I never went to Disney.
• 5:36
  Jenn: I mean, it's not for everybody.
• 5:38
  Jenn: Right.
• 5:39
  Meggan: And it's not even that.
• 5:40
  Meggan: Cause I've been to Disney world and loved it.
• 5:43
  Meggan: A brilliant time.
• 5:44
  Meggan: But we did go to Universal I saw Vince Vaughn.
• 5:46
  Meggan: So there was that.
• 5:48
  Jenn: Yeah.
• 5:48
  Jenn: I feel like there's a lot more like celebrity sightings in Disney land than there would be in Disney.
• 5:54
  Meggan: I know California is beautiful though, for many, many reasons.
• 5:57
  Meggan: We want to go back there and do the same, like PCH road trip as well.
• 6:01
  Meggan: That sounds awesome.
• 6:02
  Jenn: Yeah.
• 6:03
  Jenn: I was just watching on Netflix breakfast, lunch and dinner.
• 6:06
  Jenn: Have you watched.
• 6:07
  Jenn: It's like a food show where this guy is a chef and he goes around with different celebrities.
• 6:11
  Jenn: In the last episode we watched, they were in California.
• 6:14
  Jenn: And they eat like, that's basically all they do, but all the food, the food looks.
• 6:19
  Jenn: So it sounds amazing.
• 6:22
  Jenn: All right.
• 6:23
  Jenn: Where's your first bucket list destination.
• 6:26
  Meggan: So I don't know why this is because I grew up on the ocean, but this is a very different ocean.
• 6:31
  Meggan: So I have always dreamed of like staying in one of those villas that's over the ocean.
• 6:37
  Meggan: So like either the Maldives or Fiji or Bora Bora could care less, which one I'm not married to any of those places.
• 6:45
  Meggan: I just will take any of them.
• 6:46
  Meggan: And I've drempt of this for the, oh the while.
• 6:48
  Meggan: Like I just picture myself.
• 6:50
  Meggan: Me or someone else, if there's someone there to help me rolling my little suitcase down, like the wooden walkway to the hut over the ocean, it sounds dreamy.
• 7:00
  Meggan: Like I can't describe like how I feel that I love the ocean.
• 7:05
  Meggan: I love being next to it.
• 7:06
  Meggan: It was across the road from my childhood home.
• 7:08
  Meggan: Like we're both ocean kids.
• 7:10
  Meggan: So that would be a huge deal, but this would be a very different experience.
• 7:15
  Meggan: Now I have heard, although I've not done a lot of research at like the nightlife and those kinds of places isn't as, as much because the resorts are so different than like your traditional Mexico resort.
• 7:26
  Meggan: But really either way a week of just sort of living like that, regardless of all the other stuff I just think would be incredible.
• 7:33
  Meggan: So I hope at some point during my life to be able to do that,
• 7:37
  Jenn: they look so amazing.
• 7:38
  Jenn: And I just feel like it'd be so relaxed,
• 7:40
  Meggan: Opening your door.
• 7:42
  Meggan: I guess maybe even if they have some kind of glass floor or something, like it's just right there.
• 7:47
  Meggan: Like, no matter how many times you've seen the ocean, an ocean view is always desired.
• 7:54
  Jenn: It doesn't matter how many times I've seen it.
• 7:56
  Meggan: Exactly.
• 7:57
  Meggan: All right.
• 7:58
  Meggan: So the next one you have up is definitely one on mine too, but I'm leaving it to you.
• 8:02
  Meggan: So where to next?
• 8:04
  Jenn: The Galapagos! I feel like probably the first.
• 8:10
  Jenn: 3d movie I saw was like a documentary about the Galapagos, like the trays, the turtles, and like that sort of thing.
• 8:19
  Jenn: And I've always been kind of fascinated with it.
• 8:21
  Jenn: It just feels like.
• 8:23
  Jenn: A whole other worlds, like planet.
• 8:26
  Meggan: I can't even imagine.
• 8:29
  Jenn: Like I literally can't imagine.
• 8:31
  Jenn: And like, obviously I want to travel there in a way that's not like detrimental.
• 8:34
  Jenn: So the wildlife there, so you'd have to be careful about picking like a tour company to go with.
• 8:40
  Jenn: But I just think that it would be really like an amazing experience.
• 8:44
  Jenn: And it's funny, like my husband went to Ecuador the year that he graduated university with some of his university friends.
• 8:52
  Jenn: Obviously they were on like, you know, a budget it, and so they were like right there, but they didn't go to the Galapagos because it was just too expensive for them.
• 9:02
  Jenn: So I know that he kind of regrets that too.
• 9:04
  Jenn: So hopefully you can go together someday, but.
• 9:08
  Jenn: Yeah, it just, it looks so amazing.
• 9:12
  Meggan: I know it's it literally is like, in my mind other worldly, it would just, I don't know, it would be an adventure of a lifetime, for sure.
• 9:19
  Jenn: For sure.
• 9:21
  Meggan: For me, number two.
• 9:23
  Meggan: And these are not in any particular.
• 9:26
  Meggan: I'd like to just put that out there.
• 9:28
  Meggan: I'll take any at all.
• 9:29
  Meggan: So next step for me is Australia.
• 9:31
  Meggan: I actually said to Pete, like, you know, when I need to think of some places that I maybe.
• 9:35
  Meggan: Forgetting.
• 9:36
  Meggan: And he's like, you always talk about Australia.
• 9:38
  Meggan: I'm like, yes, of course.
• 9:39
  Meggan: Yeah.
• 9:40
  Meggan: And back in 2004, when I spent the month in France that I did it was like a, an essay competition at work or whatever.
• 9:46
  Meggan: And my first choice they had got you to choose the places was Australia.
• 9:50
  Meggan: But France for a month was fine.
• 9:55
  Meggan: Um, But really, it was definitely my first choice.
• 9:57
  Meggan: And then the next year, my friend Shannon won and she got to go to Australia and I'm like, that is so rude because continue to this day.
• 10:05
  Meggan: But yeah, I have a friend who lives there as well.
• 10:08
  Meggan: Nicole, who I've never met, we're sort of like, I guess been like pen pal buddies through another pal for like, I'm going to say 15 or 20 years.
• 10:16
  Meggan: On my wedding day she likes sent me flowers.
• 10:19
  Meggan: Her child was born on my birthday.
• 10:21
  Meggan: Like we, I don't know, like, and So I really, of course want to meet her and spend some time with her as well, but really there's so many things to do.
• 10:29
  Meggan: Like I want to hold a koala and I want to see a kangaroo and like maybe visit Ayers Rock and see the gold coast.
• 10:38
  Meggan: And I do want to go to the Australia's Zoo just to see sort of like the foot print everlasting that Steve Irwin left, and I know they're huge into conservation there.
• 10:45
  Meggan: So I think I would feel good going to that zoo just to see the work that his children have carried on and stuff.
• 10:51
  Meggan: There's just so much, and I know it's a incredibly far to go.
• 10:55
  Meggan: I cannot picture Peter flying to Australia and being sane when we get there.
• 10:59
  Meggan: And B you really do have to have extra time because.
• 11:03
  Meggan: So long, the country's so big, you really are going to have to be choosey because will you get back a second time?
• 11:10
  Meggan: So I'd love to have a solid month at some point.
• 11:14
  Meggan: And just go as well.
• 11:15
  Meggan: So yeah, definitely Australia is up there for me.
• 11:18
  Meggan: So someday!
• 11:19
  Jenn: Yeah, australia is also on my list it kind of goes with the next one I'm going to talk about.
• 11:25
  Jenn: But my uncle and his wife did Australia and then they took a cruise from off front, like leaving from Australia and they, their pictures, everything just looked so amazing.
• 11:36
  Jenn: And I would also like to go there, but.
• 11:39
  Jenn: I chose New Zealand for my list because it's not as spidery as
• 11:47
  Meggan: true.
• 11:48
  Meggan: This is true.
• 11:49
  Jenn: That's the one thing that like deters me from Australia.
• 11:52
  Jenn: I'm like spidery very spidery,
• 11:57
  Meggan: but it's so true.
• 11:59
  Jenn: But also like, dangerous spidery, like, you know, I don't love spiders.
• 12:04
  Jenn: I live in a giant old house.
• 12:06
  Jenn: There are spiders.
• 12:07
  Jenn: I can deal with them because they're not going to poison me.
• 12:11
  Meggan: I'm not there to murder you.
• 12:14
  Jenn: Anyway, I'm going to talk about New Zealand.
• 12:17
  Jenn: And like there's so many amazing things to do in New Zealand.
• 12:19
  Jenn: I don't even really know where to start, but I want to do a lot of like, outdoors stuff there, like a lot of hiking.
• 12:27
  Jenn: A girl that I knew from high school moved to New Zealand and I just kind of like low key stock her social media.
• 12:35
  Jenn: What are you doing there?
• 12:36
  Jenn: This looks really cool.
• 12:39
  Jenn: Right.
• 12:40
  Meggan: Do you mind if I come visit?
• 12:41
  Jenn: Yeah, like I know we talked like twice, but you know,
• 12:45
  Meggan: those times meant a lot to me and I'd love to follow up.
• 12:51
  Jenn: I mean, it just looks amazing, but anyway, I also really want to do like a Lord of the rings tour.
• 12:58
  Jenn: Cause.
• 12:59
  Jenn: You know, I'm a little nerdy, but if we just watched Lord of the rings movie, like two weekends ago, fresh in my brain about how cool it is there.
• 13:09
  Jenn: But yes, lots of amazing things to do.
• 13:12
  Jenn: Obviously, I feel like if we're going to go that far, we'll probably do Australia and New Zealand because like, it's that far
• 13:20
  Meggan: you're in the neighborhood,
• 13:21
  Jenn: you're in the neighborhood, so you might as well just, you know, take a month and a half and do it all.
• 13:26
  Meggan: I mean, if I have it, I'll likely do the same.
• 13:28
  Meggan: I completely agree.
• 13:29
  Meggan: You're there.
• 13:31
  Meggan: Just do it.
• 13:32
  Meggan: Exactly.
• 13:33
  Meggan: Exactly.
• 13:34
  Meggan: Well, I'm going to go in another direction here and different part of the world.
• 13:38
  Meggan: So next on my list is Cappadocia, Cappadocia I'm gonna go with Cappadocia though.
• 13:45
  Meggan: It is in central Turkey.
• 13:46
  Meggan: So I learned about this place.
• 13:48
  Meggan: Have you heard of.
• 13:49
  Jenn: Yes.
• 13:50
  Jenn: Yes.
• 13:51
  Meggan: Well, I learned about it from one of the travel bloggers that we follow on YouTube and it just looks so amazing.
• 13:57
  Meggan: So they're tall kind of cone-shaped rock formations, adorably called fairy chimneys, which I mean,
• 14:03
  Jenn: that's amazing
• 14:05
  Meggan: enchanting.
• 14:05
  Meggan: And really like the site of looking at them for.
• 14:09
  Meggan: In the far distance is just really incredible.
• 14:12
  Meggan: You can walk for like kilometers and just explore different ones.
• 14:15
  Meggan: You have to be careful of course, but just exploring them.
• 14:18
  Meggan: Looks really incredible homes.
• 14:20
  Meggan: They're built out of the stone that people actually live in.
• 14:23
  Meggan: The hotel accommodations are like mostly stone and we actually looked it up like either hotel.com, hotels.com or booking.com.
• 14:31
  Meggan: And the prices are actually really reasonable.
• 14:34
  Meggan: Um, Yeah, I know.
• 14:36
  Meggan: This was a couple of years ago, so we'll have to see, but and it's honestly like just one of those places that as soon as I saw it, my heart was just like, it was kind of like Iceland.
• 14:43
  Meggan: I'm like, you must go there.
• 14:45
  Meggan: Like,
• 14:45
  Jenn: yeah.
• 14:46
  Meggan: It looks really incredible.
• 14:47
  Meggan: And I just would love to like explore them for myself.
• 14:50
  Meggan: And obviously, you know, Turkey can be controversial and political and there's a lot of different things to consider, but it is on my list.
• 14:57
  Meggan: And hopefully if the world can just calm down that I can hopefully get there someday and explore them.
• 15:03
  Meggan: And I want to stay in like a stone hotel.
• 15:07
  Jenn: That's really cool.
• 15:08
  Jenn: And like, Turkey's also on my list.
• 15:11
  Jenn: Didn't make this specific bucket lesson it's on my Rolodex of lists so many places and yeah, I think that would be.
• 15:22
  Jenn: A super cool experience and also like other worldly, like totally different.
• 15:29
  Meggan: Anything at this point, besides Clayton perk to me is other worldly.
• 15:33
  Meggan: So my standard with my bar is very low.
• 15:37
  Jenn: White point just opened up these like tree houses.
• 15:42
  Jenn: Is it weird to book something 15 minutes from my
• 15:45
  Meggan: that's where we're friggin at man, although White Points now closed, but yes, one,
• 15:53
  Jenn: yes.
• 15:54
  Jenn: They said the tree house is open on the 1st of February.
• 15:57
  Jenn: So
• 15:59
  Meggan: I would support you in this venture.
• 16:02
  Jenn: I think Ryan would be like talking, doing,
• 16:05
  Meggan: we can just sleep in our own beds for free
• 16:08
  Jenn: seriously.
• 16:11
  Jenn: All right.
• 16:11
  Jenn: So the next one I'm going to talk about is a Baltic cruise, which is something that we almost did, right?
• 16:18
  Jenn: Like that's what we were talking about doing with our cruise credit from Norwegian, which we did end up getting our money back from Norwegian cruise line.
• 16:26
  Jenn: So now we don't, we're not forced into a cruise, which is nice not to be forced, but this is what we would have done.
• 16:34
  Jenn: Although, if I was having my, my first choice, I would like to do like a Viking river cruise type of cruise, like a smaller ship.
• 16:42
  Jenn: And you know, you can get more into littler places in a smaller ship, but some of my family have done a Viking river cruise.
• 16:50
  Jenn: I remember, you know, my grandparents getting the mail, like the little booklet and just going through it and being like, wow, this looks so, so here's a lot of countries like OD like Baltic and Scandinavian countries that I'd really like to visit.
• 17:07
  Jenn: And so the cruise is kind of like a sampler platter, right?
• 17:11
  Jenn: Like you kind of get a day or two in each, and then obviously I'd like to probably choose some of those to go back to.
• 17:18
  Jenn: Eventually, but I just like the option of having a little, a little cruise in a couple of different places.
• 17:24
  Jenn: And then maybe another time being like, okay, let's go back and spend more time here.
• 17:29
  Meggan: Well, that's exactly it.
• 17:30
  Meggan: It's just a different kind of travel.
• 17:32
  Meggan: Like, you know, you're used to one thing, well, let's try this and just have a dibble dabble of a few places.
• 17:37
  Meggan: And then if you fall in love somewhere, you're just like, okay, well this we know we're coming back for sure.
• 17:42
  Meggan: So there's certainly a, you know, there's value to that.
• 17:45
  Jenn: Yeah, definitely.
• 17:46
  Jenn: Anything like living here?
• 17:49
  Jenn: I mean, our Halifax airport is great, but our, our flight options can be limited.
• 17:56
  Jenn: And so it's harder to get to, especially like Scandinavian countries, right?
• 18:02
  Jenn: Like there's no direct flight, really like, you know, we have a seasonal flight to Germany.
• 18:08
  Jenn: We did get direct flight to Glasgow with west jet, which is really nice.
• 18:12
  Jenn: So yeah, it's just a, it's nice to get over there and then kind of hop around and then
• 18:19
  Meggan: so close over there too.
• 18:20
  Meggan: Like it's the world is so different on the other side of the Atlantic it's
• 18:25
  Jenn: I know, like, can you imagine going to another country for like a weekend?
• 18:31
  Meggan: I know, that's the thing about if you lived over there, you could just jet off to like Spain for the weekend.
• 18:36
  Meggan: Or like, I actually have a friend who lives in London and her trips from the weekend, or like I went to Chester and you went to like, Portugal.
• 18:44
  Meggan: That seems wrong to me, but it is,
• 18:47
  Jenn: it's so true.
• 18:49
  Jenn: Yeah.
• 18:49
  Jenn: There's just, it's a way better jumping off point over there it is.
• 18:54
  Meggan: Yeah, no, it is for sure.
• 18:56
  Meggan: And speaking of seasonal flights to Germany, I'm just going to put it out into the universe that I would like to be on one of those in June.
• 19:03
  Meggan: Thank you very much.
• 19:04
  Meggan: Thank you.
• 19:04
  Meggan: Okay.
• 19:04
  Jenn: Fingers crossed fingers crossed
• 19:07
  Meggan: Um, so for my last choice, I kind of was up in the air again, like you I'm sure there's like so many places and Copenhagen and Denmark was definitely high on my list, but I did choose if possible.
• 19:19
  Meggan: And my last one is an ethical safari.
• 19:22
  Meggan: So maybe that's an ironic statement.
• 19:25
  Meggan: I don't know.
• 19:26
  Meggan: I do know people who've gone on them and they have been sustainable ones where animal habitat isn't, you know, abused, but I of course would do my research.
• 19:36
  Meggan: But like Botswana or Kenya.
• 19:38
  Meggan: But it is definitely a dream that I have.
• 19:41
  Meggan: And like, I am a scardy cat.
• 19:43
  Meggan: So seeing animals in the wild, the only way I would want to do that is in like a Jeep.
• 19:53
  Meggan: I mean, I've seen elephants and I've seen giraffes, but I guess I've seen lions and tigers too, if I think about it, but like not in their own dwelling, and I just not, I'm not ready.
• 20:03
  Meggan: I'm not the lion whisper.
• 20:04
  Meggan: Like I follow on the Instagram and I'm not ready to like do that.
• 20:08
  Meggan: So yes, seeing them in their natural habitat really does interest me.
• 20:12
  Meggan: And I dunno, I'll do my research and it would be the trip of a lifetime.
• 20:17
  Meggan: And one of those ones I feel like it's a little farther down, so who knows, unless I like come into tons of money, you don't have to work.
• 20:24
  Meggan: So we'll just hope for that.
• 20:25
  Meggan: I'll send that out to the universe as well.
• 20:28
  Jenn: I I'm also scaredycat and I, like, I also was scared when we did hiking in Cape Breton that we would come across a moose.
• 20:35
  Jenn: And like,
• 20:36
  Meggan: as did we.
• 20:37
  Meggan: Were the same,
• 20:38
  Jenn: for the most part, the moose is going to leave you alone.
• 20:40
  Jenn: Right?
• 20:40
  Jenn: Like.
• 20:42
  Jenn: If there's that chance, I was just like, I'd rather not see the moose.
• 20:46
  Jenn: Whereas a lot of people are hiking in there.
• 20:48
  Jenn: Like I hope I see a moose.
• 20:50
  Meggan: Me too.
• 20:50
  Meggan: Like we are the exact same.
• 20:51
  Meggan: Like we heard a big crash when we were on the one of the Franny trail.
• 20:55
  Meggan: And we're both like, should we just go home?
• 20:59
  Meggan: Like let's call this and then on the skyline trail, and like, I literally carried a stick.
• 21:04
  Meggan: I'm like, I don't want to like see a coyote.
• 21:07
  Meggan: So I scaredy-cat,
• 21:10
  Jenn: it's a scaredy cat.
• 21:11
  Jenn: Definitely.
• 21:12
  Jenn: It was funny.
• 21:12
  Jenn: I kind of, I told my husband, you know, Places I wrote down, he was like, you didn't write down Easter island.
• 21:17
  Jenn: Like you love Easter island.
• 21:20
  Jenn: Oh yeah.
• 21:23
  Meggan: Many choices.
• 21:24
