I would love to travel, but I don't have the means to do so.
I am very blessed to have what I have, and God is very good to me.
So I will only dream of travel, and will post all the places I want to see.

Monaco

MONACO
When I think of Monaco, I always think of James Bond gambling at one of the casinos in Monte Carlo.



 the Monaco Grand Prix is very famous.





I could get by with nothing but walking and sight seeing. Sitting in a cheap outside cafe and people watching. Staying on the beach, and watching the expensive yachts move about.

Most flight and hotel packages I've pretended to book, hmm I mean looked up are over 10,000 US dollars, which is a dream vacation for me.

A few fun facts about Monaco:

Citizens do not pay tax, but they they also are not allowed to gamble, so this would be a hard toss up with so many casinos

Natives are called Monegasque, which is also the name of a language spoken there along with English, Italian, and French.

Second smallest country in the world, with the Vatican the first (which I still have a hard time understanding why this is a country)

Lord Hercules 1 of Monaco, a noted ladies man, was supposedly murdered by a gang of irate husbands and fathers.

There are more policemen per person than any other country = no crime.

“Walt Disney World is nearly 30,000 acres, or 48 square miles. That is more than 80 times the size of Monaco. Grace Kelly would have been queen of a larger and wealthier, kingdom if she'd married Uncle Walt instead of Prince Rainier.”  ― Eve Zibart,
