Friday Five: Grand Tours

Over at RevGals, Songbird says:  One of our original ring members, jo(e), wrote yesterday about a trip she and her sisters are taking overseas with their parents, to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Many other RevGals are headed for the Festival of Homiletics in the coming week (click here for information on a RevGals meetup!!). In honor of these upcoming trips, herewith your Grand Tour Friday Five.

Name five places that fall into the following categories:

1) Favorite Destination -- someplace you've visited once or often and would gladly go again:  As I have said many times in this space:  St. Teresa Beach, in NorthFlorida. 

2) Unfavorite Destination -- someplace you wish you had never been (and why):  don't mind if I don't get to Los Angeles again.

3) Fantasy Destination -- someplace to visit if cost and/or time did not matter:  New Zealand.  We have friends there and have been invited many times...but the time and $ have prevented us from going.

4) Fictional Destination -- someplace from a book or movie or other art or media form you would love to visit, although it exists only in imagination:  Narnia.  No question.

5) Funny Destination -- the funniest place name you've ever visited or want to visit.  How about Sopchoppy?  A Seminole name for a place not far from my Florida beach...my parents used to get their mail there.  There is a potter there whom I love dearly; he lives and works in the middle of the Apalachicola National Forest.  One of the local seafood dealers has a portable sign out by the road reading:

$hrimp, Crab, Mullet
Je$u$ i$ Lord!!

Bonus:  This is my grand tour for this weekend:

I hope you can get to Narnia from Middle-earth, because I want to see both!

I'd be happy to accompany you to Narnia. New Zealand would be fun too!

I'm going to Narnia too...shall we meet for tea with Mr Tumnus? xx

I'd like to go to Narnia yes I would.
But I rather see you in St. Teresa. :)

Narnia for me too (among others). Great play!

Have a nice trip this weekend, esp. with the effects of this very late cold front! It would be nice to go to New Zealand!

Paryers for safe travel and happy visits!
