2013 New Year's Resolutions & Travel Bucket List

It's that time of year again!

Last year, dear reader, I made no resolutions. And guess what! I kept to my plan! I didn't make any promises to myself, and frankly, 2013 was one amazing year.

Planning our wedding with 200 guests; moving in with Frank; house-searching and then buying; moving into our new home... and getting it all set up so it's a livable space.

In between these activities, we managed to take a two week honeymoon in the UK, a weekend getaway to our extended family's cottage in Petawawa and a few minor day trips here and there.

For 2013, I've decided to limit myself to three resolutions:

1. Get back to hiking and exploring the outdoors. We haven't done enough of this this past year.
2. Work on improving use of colour in my photos as well as a greater attention to details. I tend to take landscape shots, but rarely zoom in on the details.
3. Get more guest bloggers to post on (Sub)urban Tourist. I love writing, but enjoy sharing the thoughts of other bloggers and giving them a chance at increased exposure through my regular readers.

2013 Travel Bucket List

Since we are new homeowners, I suspect many of our travels will be to the local Home Depot. However, we may just squeeze in a trip here or there.

On our short travel bucket list are:

• Quebec City (Frank visited recently and fell in love with it - now we wants me to explore it with him)
• Halifax
• Cape Breton Island

And of course, more adventures exploring Ontario!

Something I love doing and need to do more of in 2013 - paddling an Ontario river/lake in a canoe.
