Oh, The Places I Will Go – continuing list

Not in any structured order – just places I want to go:

Catalina Island, California: Catalina Airport, known as the Airport in the Sky; Wrigley Botanical Gardens, Moonstone Beach, views, marine sanctuary, snorkling
Hangar Hotel, Fredericksburg, Texas: where it feels like 1942
- Runway 14/32: 5001 feet by 75 ft.
- National Museum of the Pacific War
- Hotel based on old military World War II hangars
- 200 acres of wildflower farm
Wichita, Kansas: Air Capital of the World – Atchinson, Kansas was home to Amelia Earhart
South Bass Island, Put-in-Bay, Ohio: Victorian era inspired island. Cave tours, antique cars, nightime: Mardi Gras atmosphere, plus Cedar Point amusement park is not that far away (Be aware to detour along the south shore of Lake Erie to avoid Canadian airspace)
Dayton, Ohio: hometown of the Wright Brothers; World’s largest military aviation museum; fly replica of the Wright B flyer
Dauphin Island, Alabama: as close as you can get to landing on an aircraft carrier
Tangier Island, Virginia: unique English Restoration-era dialect
Gatlinburg, Tennessee: for obvious reasons

North Carolina Outer Banks: spot where the Wright Brothers took their first flight in 1903
Key West, Florida: taste of the Caribbean
Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii
San Juan Islands, Washington: whale watching; 80 nautical miles from Seattle

…and watch for the list to grow
