List 3: Places to visit someday
=======================

One of the most useful lists I’m so grateful for starting years and years ago is my Someday List filled with all the quirky, odd and wonderful places I’d love to visit if I ever had the chance and was in the right area. Whenever I spotted a crazy sculpture, delicious sounding restaurant or amazing hotel while flipping through magazines, chatting to friends or scrolling through the web, I’d list it down on my Someday List along with the city - even if it was a city I could never imagine having the chance to visit. When the opportunity to road-trip through all 50 states in the USA popped up, I couldn’t wait to check my list and plan a route to all the crazy road-side attractions in the middle of nowhere states I never thought I’d get the chance to see. Ours days soon filled up with checking things off my list - from eating pancakes the size of our heads for breakfast and posing with the World’s Tallest Filling Cabinet to visiting ghost towns at sunset and sleeping in a Teepee on Route 66. People always wondered how we were able to find such crazy things to do each day but it was all thanks to my lists which had been years in the making.

Fill your Someday List with all the wonderful, magical and quirky places you’d like to visit - even if you don’t believe you will ever get there. There are a few ways to organize your someday list - you could keep a separate note for each country in Evernote, create Pinterest boards with a map or create a Google Map, starring each of the places you’d like to go. It’s a good idea to pick a system which allows you to include photos, links and notes along with the addresses. I like the idea of having a list with location based reminders which can alert you so when you’re passing by Shirley’s Diner in Omaha, Nebraska you know to stop off and order a fried twinkie.
