Checking back in on my Places I’d like to travel to that I haven’t visited—yet post from Nov 2024, it looks like I marked off 3-ish:

  • we finally made it to Africa as part of our 100-day adventure
  • I managed to visit a bunch of Indiana
  • I visited the two newest national park units (re-completing my quest to see all 433), but failed to visit Sáttítla Highlands National Monument, in spite of having three separate trips planned to see it. Still, the park units were the far higher priority for me, so I’m taking at least partial credit for this one.

If our 2026 goes as planned, we should mark off a few more items from the list too: Norway, the Canadian Rockies, and Costa Rica are all already on our travel calendar, and New Zealand is leading the field for our December trip too.

I could also see us squeezing in weekend trips to the Idaho panhandle and Vancouver, but neither is highest on priority list this year so I wouldn’t say it’s at all likely.
