Thanks! It was a really fun and informative bingo. I've not been in a place in life as of yet where I can travel, but someday that will change (it's closer in the future now than it ever has been). I've definitely taken note of some of the places you've highlighted.

I think what I'll be doing as the next bingo is to continue the theme, focusing on the Northwest US. It's where I've lived all my life, and I absolutely love the area. Both of the places I've chosen to live, if I couldn't stay in the Northwest, are both similar in climate: British Columbia (Canada) and New Zealand. So, you can tell the area is truly a place I call home. :)

I will try to have a new bingo post started by Sunday or Monday with a list and start date. My summer has been incredibly busy, and one of the internships I've been in finally winds down this weekend (whew!). I'll finally have a bit more time to myself, so I might even get to start stitching again, too.

:applesauce: :applesauce: Congratulations, Ketta!!! And thank you, Liz, for a wonderful journey through Cornwall. ( I am going to have to start getting very serious about collecting my pennies for my visit to the British Isles. I need about a year though so I can see all the things I want to see, visit all the shops and fairs I want to go to and then end up on a castle tour. Of course, I've never been to Vermont or the Northwest USA so I definitely need to win a lottery. So have to start buying those tickets. )

Be careful about what you offer, Niki. I may surprise you (and me) and take you up on that! Totally off topic, but Bingo is over. When I was around 13 or 14 years old, I had a mad crush on Richard Burton (before his flings with Liz), mostly his voice. (I had the full recording of his Hamlet). So I got a English-Welsh dictionary from the library, thinking he would be so impressed with an American fan letter written in Welsh, he would have to reply. Of course, he didn't and I always wondered if he read it and/or what I really said :oops: .

Geographic bingos are really fun, aren't they?

Thanks everyone!

I should have a post started by Sunday or Monday with a list of great places to visit in the Pacific Northwest. While I don't have much in the way of personal photos (I haven't traveled much in my adult life and I'm severely camera shy), there are plenty of stunning images out there I will use. I'm looking forward to sharing!
