Many
of us can breathe a sigh of relief now that our country club interviews are over,
and we can now look forward to the next leg of the journey and start planning
how we want to spend our time in the USA...when we are not working of course!
While
I have ticked off some bucket list items over the past few seasons in the USA,
there are still many items left on the list...
First
and foremost is a cruise to the Bahamas with its beautiful beaches and crystal-clear
waters where your biggest worry should be which bikini to wear the next day. A
top tip for new recruits: be sure to use sites such as Expedia to get the best
vacation deals. You can take a two-day cruise, which is not only super
affordable but also means you will not need to request a lot of time off work.
Next
up is an Everglades airboat tour. While I have seen my fair share of alligators
from a distance while driving the bev cart in Florida, I have always wanted to
do an official swamp tour for a true adrenalin rush. After all, they say you
are not a true “Floridian” until you have done a swamp tour.
While
the USA does not have anything on South Africa when it comes to sport (because
nothing beats the feeling at a live rugby match right?) there are two sports
that I do want to experience in the states...namely, a college football game
and a NASCAR race. The Daytona International Speedway hosts NASCAR races
throughout the year and I will be sure to be a spectator at one of them!
Of
course, a trip to Miami will be on the cards again and this time I plan visit
the Wynwood district, which is known for its colourful murals. While it was
previously a gritty area filled with abandoned warehouses, these warehouses
have now been transformed and Wynwood is now one of Miami’s most exciting neighbourhoods
when it comes to art and entertainment.
