The Travel Channel
First on
our bucket list was Hawaii, where we went to watch the erupting volcano. Unfortunately, the lava was so high and hot that
we couldn’t get close. Back at our hotel that night, we watched a
Travel Channel documentary about Hawaii that had great footage of the volcanic
eruptions in perfect color and focus. It
was great on TV, but not in person.
The second
trip on our bucket list was Bryce Canyon.
We’d seen its surreal beauty on the Travel Channel and had to go see it
in person. We spent a fortune on
airfare, car rental and hotel, but when we arrived the canyon was fogged in for
days. We stood at scenic overlooks and
saw nothing but gray. Another waste of time and money.
Next on
our bucket list were Africa, Australia, and Tahiti. Together those would have cost the rest of
our savings, so we stayed home and watched them on the Travel Channel. Our bucket list would have cost the rest of
our savings, but the Travel Channel came free with our cable package.
Now we’re
travelling the world from our couch. Not
only are the views better, but we learn about the geography, culture and
wildlife in each destination. Thanks to the Travel Channel, we’ll complete our
bucket list next week and have enough money left over to move to Hawaii.
