In our childhood, most of us seem to at one time or another dream of being an actor or singer. As we grow older, most of us realize how impractical these types of career goals can be, and we find new pursuits that are more realistic and more in-line with our adult personalities and goals. As a woman in the prime of my quarter-life “crisis,” I'm relishing the unique opportunity to reassess my past goals, present skills, and future plans. My 25th year may in fact be the very best time to look back at the dream jobs I've yearned to pursue in the past, and how they may yet apply to my future.

I am a continentally well-traveled citizen. Over various road trips and relocations, I have seen a nice chunk of the purple mountains, the amber grain and the shining seas. Other than a few hours spent south of the border and a quick visit to the Bahamas, this girl has never gone international- in the grand sense of the term.

While in recent years I have been more inclined to focus on the tasks and goals of day to day life, this week’s Sorbate topic has afforded me the opportunity to indulge in some long overdue daydreaming. With that said, my top three fantasy travel destinations, in no particular order, are below.

South Jersey's Memorial Day Wake-Up Call

Of late, the Jersey shore has been associated with dying casinos, B-list nightlife and a sinful-to-some/entertaining-to-others reality show of the same name. The compound phrase does little to trigger images of a thriving metropolis, classy townspeople or any type of prosperity, let alone economic. I know and love a part of the Jersey shore that escaped the pop culture stigma, and it has Memorial Day to thank for that.
