A trip of some kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point, I'd completely settle for nothing more than a gorgeous trip up the mountain, if the road weren't closed and iced over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always dream of returning to Italy or venturing on to Prague, Budapest, Istanbul, anywhere in Greece, or some other wishful international adventure. I have my newly acquired taste for American cities, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But after 16 weeks spent in my Environmental Land Use class, I want nothing more than to go out to National Parks, beautiful landscapes, mountaintops, anywhere I can completely immerse myself in nature. Nothing is more stress-relieving. Nothing is more beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some the places I want to go most right now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.google.com/url?source=imglanding&amp;amp;ct=img&amp;amp;q=http://davidinglima.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/joshua-tree-national-park.jpg&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ei=YdPfTv_uOYqRiQL8rqz_CA&amp;amp;ved=0CA4Q8wc&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNF5IXaoBcL2z4r_6vl9doRpY0BdjA" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="218" src="http://images.google.com/url?source=imglanding&amp;amp;ct=img&amp;amp;q=http://davidinglima.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/joshua-tree-national-park.jpg&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ei=YdPfTv_uOYqRiQL8rqz_CA&amp;amp;ved=0CA4Q8wc&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNF5IXaoBcL2z4r_6vl9doRpY0BdjA" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Joshua Tree National Park&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR7zodo-_FbgTx8GsBg84AcGQyYgJdry0340AR6gkuoQHvX8i2A" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR7zodo-_FbgTx8GsBg84AcGQyYgJdry0340AR6gkuoQHvX8i2A" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Arches National Park&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.google.com/url?source=imglanding&amp;amp;ct=img&amp;amp;q=http://www.rwongphoto.com/RW1873_web.jpg&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ei=ntXfTquNKYrWiAKp_6msCA&amp;amp;ved=0CAsQ8wc4SQ&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNGM--bFTCZ5Hh6mEQBiyqAjJpe-Zw" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://images.google.com/url?source=imglanding&amp;amp;ct=img&amp;amp;q=http://www.rwongphoto.com/RW1873_web.jpg&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ei=ntXfTquNKYrWiAKp_6msCA&amp;amp;ved=0CAsQ8wc4SQ&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNGM--bFTCZ5Hh6mEQBiyqAjJpe-Zw" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Canyonlands&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR8lg3lvkqcltFaOqv2qPjDzDk0PALoRXQcZaYXTtFD_i9FB5jvqQ" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR8lg3lvkqcltFaOqv2qPjDzDk0PALoRXQcZaYXTtFD_i9FB5jvqQ" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Sequioa National Park...especially climbing Mt.
