One of the neatest wedding gifts we got was tons of travel suggestions from the guests at our wedding. We had a globe and these tiny little red numbered stickers, and people selected places that would be cool to travel to. Here's a pic of the North America part of the globe (the busiest sticker spot):
Then folks wrote down suggestions about why the place they selected is cool in our little map book:
Here are a few of the most interesting suggestions we got; for the full list, just ask!!!
1. Plum Village, France
I spent 10 days here practicing MINDFULNESS in everything: eating, showering, communicating, etc. and thought you'd like to spend a week or two or three. It's a beautiful area of France and on my way to my room every day, I picked cherries from a tree on the side of the road.
