Custodial Account Tax Implications
If you want to invest in a child's financial future, setting up a custodial account on their behalf is an incredible first step in doing so.
By setting up a custodial account for a child, you'll be able to make your financial contributions work harder and ensure that they're able to build a nest egg big enough to offer them the incredible gift of financial freedom when they come of age.
That being said, it's also important that you do your homework and understand all of the tax implications that go hand-in-hand with setting up a custodial account for a child you love. After all, custodial accounts can be a really tax-efficient way to save for a child's future — but you need to be aware of the tax law around custodial accounts.
This guide explains what a custodial account is, the capital gains taxes on custodial accounts, what the kiddie tax is, how the gift tax works, and who pays taxes on custodial accounts.
What is a Custodial Account?
Before we get to the tax implications of setting up a custodial account, let's slow things down and talk about what a custodial account actually is.
A custodial account is an increasingly popular investment vehicle that lets adults hold assets they want to pass on to a child when they come of age.
When you decide to set up a custodial account, you'll choose a child beneficiary for that account.
From the moment you start to place investments, cash, or other assets into the custodial account, they're the legal property of that child beneficiary.
But because the child isn't old enough to make financial decisions on their own, it falls on you as the custodian to make any relevant management and investment decisions associated with that account.
When the child beneficiary hits the "age of majority" in their state, your custodianship over the account ends. In most states, the age of majority is either 18 or 21. At that age, they're old enough to make their own financial decisions — and everything in the custodial account is then transferred directly to them.
That means they can use the cash you've invested to buy their first house, pay for college, fund a wedding, start a business, travel the world, or just put it in their own bank account.
There are two kinds of custodial accounts you'll often hear about: Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) accounts and Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) accounts.
Both the UGMA custodial account and UTMA custodial account are named after the pieces of legislation that created them, and they both allow adults to save for a child's financial future.
One of the key differences between the two is that UTMA accounts let you hold less common asset classes. For example, with a UTMA, you could hold the deed to real estate property, fine art, or a U.S. patent.
Meanwhile, UGMA accounts are designed to hold popular financial asset classes like cash, stock, bonds, exchange-traded fund (ETF) shares, and mutual fund shares.
Another key difference is that the age of majority for UTMAs can be a little bit higher than the age of majority for UGMAs in some states. And because the UTMA legislation wasn't ratified in all 50 U.S. states, there are some places where you can't legally set up a UTMA account.
For that reason, most families tend to go for a UGMA custodial account.
One of the major benefits of a UGMA account is that it's tax-efficient. Because all the assets in a custodial account belong to the child rather than the adult managing the account, any unearned taxable income an account generates through dividends or compound interest gets taxed at the child's lower tax bracket (at least up to a certain threshold).
For most families, this creates pretty large tax savings — but we'll break down how in just a second.
What are the Tax Implications of a Custodial Account?
We've already mentioned that custodial accounts can be a smart way to invest for a child's future while minimizing your tax burden. This is largely thanks to the so-called "kiddie tax," as well as the "gift tax."
With a custodial account, you don't have to worry so much about federal income tax or employment tax. But you are going to need to factor in investment income, short-term capital gains, and long-term capital gains as part of the tax liability you've got to manage.
Let's dive into how these different taxes affect your tax bill on custodial account contributions.
As the custodian of a child's UGMA account, it's your responsibility to manage the assets and ensure every regulatory box gets ticked on behalf of that child.
Translation: when tax season rolls around, it's going to be your job to file the relevant tax forms and ensure that taxes are getting paid on any capital gains and unearned investment income the account has been generating for that tax year.
Fortunately, because the assets in a custodial account are the property of the child beneficiary, capital gains are taxed differently than normal assets owned by an adult — but only up to a certain point.
This is known as the "kiddie tax," and it has the potential to save you a lot of money on any capital gains a child's account generated in unearned income.
The kiddie tax
The kiddie tax is a rule that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) introduced in the 1980s as a new way to prevent American taxpayers from avoiding their tax bills by simply "giving away" their investments to their children.
That being said, even the IRS acknowledges that many adults genuinely want to give investments to future generations to help them build a brighter future. That's why the kiddie tax offers a bit of a compromise that both allows you to invest for kids while also preventing you from dodging taxes.
Simply put, the kiddie tax is a charge levied on any unearned income a child generates from sources other than employment. By "sources other than employment," we're normally talking about dividends and payments from compound interest.
This sort of income is pretty common if an adult is investing on behalf of a child using a UGMA custodial account because there will likely be stock shares or another type of security in the account generating annual dividends.
The compromise the IRS added into the kiddie tax is that it only kicks in after a certain amount of unearned income has been generated.
For the 2022 tax year, unearned income under $1,150 qualifies for the so-called standard deduction. The next $1,150 worth of unearned income is taxed at the child's lower tax rate. This rate is usually pretty low (sometimes, it can even be zero).
Anything over $2,300 is then taxed at the adult custodian's tax rate, which could be a whole lot higher.
It's worth noting these amounts were increased from the 2021 tax year, when the first $1,100 worth of unearned income qualified for a standard deduction, and the following $1,100 was taxed at the child's tax rate.
If a child's unearned income is above the kiddie tax threshold, a parent has two options for filing the child's tax return. They can either include the child's income on their own return or file a separate return on the child's behalf.
You also should remember that the kiddie tax threshold only applies to unearned income a child's assets have generated. Ordinary income that the child earns through part-time employment doesn't count — so if the child you're saving for earned $1,000 mowing lawns, that's taxed differently.
The gift tax
The other major tax implication to be aware of when setting up a custodial account is the gift tax.
The IRS gift tax is a levy that the IRS imposes on the transfer of any property from one person to another whenever the person giving the gift gets little to nothing in return. The gift tax applies to all types of property — whether or not you as the donor intend for your transfer to be a gift.
It's also critical to understand the gift tax kicks in if you accept payment for an asset that's way below the fair market value. For example, let's say you buy a fancy new motorcycle for $30,000. But then you immediately turn around and sell it to your nephew for $5,000.
For tax purposes, that sale is below fair market value because the purchase price was so much higher than the sale price. That means it'll likely count as a gift.
Interest-free loans and reduced-interest loans also normally count toward the gift tax, and so it's important to understand the tax implications of any loans you may be offering to friends or family at generous rates.
But just like the kiddie tax, the IRS does understand adults want to gift assets to their loved ones. That's why the gift tax exemption was introduced.
The gift tax exemption is often referred to as the "gift tax limit," but both terms mean the same thing. This allows you to give up to a certain value in assets to people per year and over the course of your lifetime, tax-free.
Single tax filers in 2022 can give up to $16,000 per person per year totally tax-free (an increase from $15,000 in 2021). That means you could give $16,000 to your son, $16,000 to your daughter, and $16,000 to your little cousin all in the same year without increasing your tax burden.
If you and your spouse are joint filers, that gift tax limit automatically doubles to $32,000 per person per year.
That's your annual gift tax limit. But you've also got a lifetime gift tax limit that kicks in after the annual limit, which is $12.06 million (an increase from $11.7 million in 2021). Again, that amount is higher if you're married filing jointly.
Any time you gift someone an amount that exceeds your annual gift tax limit, you need to report that gift to the IRS. But more important still, that spillover then gets counted against your lifetime gift tax limit.
If you need to report a gift to the IRS, you must complete and submit IRS Form 709 (the "gift tax return") alongside your ordinary tax return.
Who Pays Tax on a Custodial Account?
In terms of tax implications, the final point to bear in mind is who pays taxes on a custodial account.
Although everything in a custodial account belongs to the child beneficiary, kids aren't expected to sit down every year and fill out an income tax return. That means as the custodian of a UGMA account, it's going to be your responsibility to file the relevant tax forms and make sure that capital gains taxes are paid.
If a child's custodian account ends up generating unearned income for a given tax year, this needs to be reported to the IRS. To do so, you need to complete Form 8615. This can then be sent into the IRS alongside the child's IRS Form 1040.
That being said, you might not have to file a separate tax return. If the child you're filing for only generated unearned income through dividends, interest, and capital gains from mutual funds, you're allowed to include their income on your own 1040.
Just remember — you'll then be responsible for paying whatever tax is owed on your tax return. If you decide to go with this route, you'll also need to complete and submit IRS Form 8814 alongside your return.
Remember that if you've gifted a child above the annual gift tax exclusion of $16,000 per person per year, you'll also need to include a gift tax return alongside your 1040.
Setting up a custodial account is an intuitive and tax-efficient way to save for a child's financial future.
It's also important that you truly understand the tax implications of setting up a custodial account.
This includes knowing when and how the kiddie tax kicks in on gross income, as well as your gift tax limits. Likewise, you need to do your homework and know your responsibilities as a UGMA custodian where taxes are concerned.
But as long as you know the lay of the land, starting a custodial account is an amazing way to give the kids you love a gift that'll withstand the test of time.

Yesterday we had an appointment with Dr. L, Noah's neurologist. We met Dr. L. for the first time when Noah was admitted to the PICU after 4 days home from the NICU. Noah was having seizures and was in respiratory distress. Fun, huh? The first time I talked with Dr. L I thought there was something REALLY wrong with Noah's brain because he was being so nice to us. You know, kind of like how doctors try to be when they're going to break the news gently? Turns out Noah's brain is fine and Dr. L's just a really nice guy. The thing I always liked best about Dr. L is that he always looked at Noah and his test results, not at the statistics for 24 weekers. He thought that Noah's seizures were due to his body not handling the raging UTI infection that the NICU accidentally sent us home with (oops!) and not by some traumatic preemie brain injury that was yet undiscovered. Well, Noah's been seizure free since January 2006 and off of his trileptal since June 2006 so we're now saying goodbye to Dr. L. Noah is at a higher risk for future seizures simply because he's had them in the past, but not at a super high risk. We can always come back if we need to. But as much as we love you Dr. L, we hope we never ever see you again.

Ringworm isn't in fact a worm at all, it is a fungal infection. It gets it's name because it often causes a hairless round patch on the skin of both dogs and people, which can be red and itchy.
The infected patch heals from the middle outwards, so it looks like a red ring on the skin. In some cases, dogs can have ringworm without showing any skin changes. Also, the fungal spores live a long time in the environment. Spread is through contacting the spores, either through patting an infected dog, or handling bedding or grooming tools such as brushes.
Depending on the severity, you and your dog will be treated with an ointment, or with tablets. Because an infected dog is constantly shedding spores, you have to be persistent to completely eliminate the infection. Fortunately, ringworm is usually not a severe condition, and is easily treated.
Teaching your child good hygiene will help prevent infection with these worms, and keep your child healthy. Ringworm, medically referred to as "Dermatomycosis", is a fungus infection of the skin, most commonly found in young animals. Circular or irregular areas of hair loss occur on the face, body, and legs.
The skin in affected areas is usually dry and scaly. This disease can be transmitted from animal to animal, from soil to animal, and from animal to man. Definitive diagnosis is best achieved through culture and identification of the fungal agent.
Many chronic diseases that do not readily respond to treatment are mistakenly diagnosed as fungal infections.
These mistakes can be avoided by the use of fungal cultures. Therapy is specific and will result in complete remission of the disease. Topical and systemic drugs are used.
Yes. You can indeed. Ensure you're vigilant and take all precautionary measures to avoid contact with bare skin and speak to your vet and your doctor on how to manage ringworm should your dog be diagnosed with it.

Back in 2015, when good phyte foods just began the transition from a dream to something vaguely resembling a business, crackers were a fundamental part of the mission. They allowed us to be creative with flavors using different vegetables and herbs in season, giving us an array of products with different phytonutrient profiles, and a satisfying, thin crunch that might — just MIGHT — become a more nutritious alternative to gold fish crackers for the kids we watched growing around us. We experimented again and again with combinations of various organic seeds, trying to achieve the perfect, lasting crunch (meaning one that would not be victim to Virginia summer humidity) while maximizing protein and healthy fats. We consulted with food scientist at Virginia Tech, whose immense knowledge crushed our high hopes of achieving a completely grain-free cracker, as she advised that a low-fat grain was needed in sufficient quantity to compensate for the natural oils in flax and pumpkin seeds.
So, we set forth on a path to create a suite of different flavors rotating through the seasons, using a standard formula of three organic seeds, including millet. We even tried a couple shorter-lived flavors like spinach & tarragon, and I rocked out in the kitchen with my grandmother Margaret's rolling pin day two or three afternoons a week. Once the labels were approved by Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (VDACS), we even developed some wholesale accounts.
The problem, however, is that these crackers are a true labor of love. Once the dough is made (a seed-grinding and vegetable-blending process that takes about an hour from start to finish), the ensuing rolling, baking, and cooling could take four to five hours per batch, yielding somewhere between 18 and 20 bags. Inevitably, we lose up to 10% to over-cooking, which made my husband happy, since those were the only ones he got to eat. Such a time consuming product would be fine if we could charge $9 per bag (a price point that makes me cringe, even with the knowledge that certified organic seeds and quality local vegetables are not cheap). Pricing aside, we have no interest in specializing in crackers if it means all our kitchen time is consumed with their production, at the expense of things like granola, or bars, which are actually more in demand by our customers. Try as we might, there seemed no way to streamline the process in a home kitchen context without cutting corners on the quality. But wait.
Along comes 2018, and the diversification into fresh salads changes everything. In the quest to create a substantial crouton that was vegan, grain-free, and flavorful, the proton was born. Shortly after Erin Kath was hired as our first employee, we set to developing a formula for a whole-seed, protein-rich cracker that was substantial enough to be doused with dressing and not wilt like a petunia. The other requirement: it could NOT compete for oven time. Thankfully, when our kitchen underwent some renovations last summer, I created a space on the counter specifically measured to accommodate our dehydrator, which had previously been relegated to the (relatively clean but also relatively far away) basement.
Though we are no means "finished" with tweaking the proton, we have (I think?) successfuly recreated at least three of our original cracker flavors in this new format. Now, we combine the vegetables, herbs, and spices with a heartier array of five high quality (still organic) seeds, including hemp and chia. This gives them a nutritional boost and makes them accessible to folks on a grain-free diet.
Thus, this fall we are winding down production of our traditional crackers, and will only be making a few for our existing retail partners like The Juice Laundry, until we can get the labels finalized and approved for our protons. We welcome any feedback you may have during this process, including the flavors you'd like to see, or places you'd like to be able to buy protons in the future.

Not only would USB-C support faster wired charging, but it would also fix the dongle issues that you might be having when it comes to connecting an iPhone to a new MacBook or just about anything else.
While there might be at least some level of truth to the USB-C iPhone rumours that continue to circulate, it looks like the 2019 version of Apple's flagship smartphone won't be ditching lightning. According to the report by Macotakara, Apple will stick with Lightning port for 2019 iPhones. Further, Apple is also set to include the same 5W charger and USB-A-to-Lightning cable in the box.
Nonetheless, the choice to keep the Lightning port on the iPhone is especially baffling when you consider how almost every current generation Apple device, from the latest to the Macbook and Macbook Pro, swapped out its old ports to replace with USB-C.
The iPad Pro made the switch to USB-C because Apple is trying to position the tablet as a work device, and productivity-focused accessories use USB-C connectors for a myriad of reasons.
Until then though, plugging the iPhone into one of Apple's more recently released USB-C MacBooks remains a frustrating experience that requires an additional USB-C-to-Lightning cable.
Instead, Apple is said to be sticking with Lightning in its next batch of iPhones, which we expect to be revealed in September.


Oh Konstantin, you are too polite. A puppy would have kicked or chewed his way out of there by now. Watch as this kitty gingerly taps the door, on his new littler box, waiting for a space to exit to sweet freedom.

Gunmen kill Yemeni troops guarding LNG export plant
Suspected al-Qaeda militants killed four Yemeni soldiers in their sleep early Sunday in an attack on forces guarding the country's only liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in southern Yemen, a local official said.
1 soldier killed at checkpoint, 4 more while they slept
Thomson Reuters · Posted: Aug 11, 2013 5:42 AM ET | Last Updated: August 12, 2013
Suspected al-Qaeda militants killed four Yemeni soldiers in their sleep early on Sunday in an attack on forces guarding the country's only liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal, a local official said.
The assault follows an escalating campaign of drone strikes by the United States over the past two weeks and warnings of militant attacks that prompted Washington to close embassies across the Middle East and evacuate some staff from Yemen.
The official said the gunmen infiltrated a checkpoint guarding the Balhaf LNG terminal in the southern Shabwa province, killed one soldier and then entered a cargo container where four more troops were sleeping and shot them dead.
The attackers fled in a vehicle, he said.
A Yemeni government spokesman said last week that the $4.5 billion gas facility, jointly managed by Yemen LNG and France's Total, was one of two energy targets that suspected al-Qaeda militants had been plotting to attack.
Washington stepped up drone strikes on suspected al-Qaeda targets in Yemen which killed at least 15 people in three days.
U.S. ally Yemen, one of the poorest Arab countries, is the base for Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), one of the most active branches of the network founded by Osama bin Laden, and militants have launched attacks from there against the West.
The Balhaf facility, the largest industrial project ever undertaken in Yemen, opened in 2009. It is heavily guarded by Yemeni troops.
It supplies gas cooled to liquid for export by ship, under long-term contracts to GDF Suez, Total and Korea Gas Corp.
Possible retaliation for drone strikes
A private security source working for oil and gas firms in Yemen said Sunday's killing appeared to be in retaliation for recent drone strikes that killed scores of Islamist insurgents in the south.
"The checkpoint they attacked is one of many leading up to the gas facilities," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "The militants know that it's impossible to penetrate all of the checkpoints and that's why they didn't attempt to go further. They just wanted vengeance."
Yemen says 7 Saudis among suspected militants killed by drones
He said there are usually up to 1,800 Yemeni soldiers guarding oil and gas facilities in Shabwa and the number has been increased in recent weeks.
The Yemeni government said last week that it had foiled a plot by al-Qaeda to seize the al-Dabbah oil export terminal in Hadramout and the Balhaf gas export facility. Plans for such an attack will have raised alarm bells in Washington.
In January, Islamist gunmen attacked an Algerian gas plant, seizing hundreds of hostages before the army stormed it four days later. Dozens of foreign workers were killed.
The security source said tight security arrangements are already in place in Yemen to protect oil and gas facilities and foreign experts working there from potential attacks by the Islamist militants.
Foreign workers rarely venture outside their heavily-fortified compounds and are usually flown out directly without having to drive through areas accessible by insurgents.

I'm new into this game and since I decided to play a knight I wanted to know the opinion of the comunity about my build.
Edited by Belphomet, 23 June 2013 - 04:19 PM.
I don't have shield fortress in my build. I will reset to get it later on if I absolutely must have it, but for now, I don't really ever need it.
Fortress is not for you, it's for the DPS in your raid, namely in PVE hard on the driller boss.
So, leaving Fortress out of the equation, do you think it worths to marx Aura Armor just for the threat and extra hp generation when off-tanking?
If a bunch of adds spawn in a raid and you pot to grab them w/o aura armor on, and MT pots too for w/e reason, MT is going to end up tanking everything and you're going to have a bad time trying to pull them off.
If you don't max Aura Armor, reset your build. It's core for any knight, regardless of build.
Hmm, I see. So basically what you're saying is a Knight is required to do things such as PvE Hardmode and beyond? What if the MT/OT combination was a Monk with a BM/Warrior? Would it not be possible to complete the raid, because Shield Fortress is not present?
Not taking sheild fortress is like a Sorc not having Deluge or a Priest not having Sanct.
The idea is you need to stack multiple HP+ or damage reduction skills to soak the big unavoidable AoE. What combo you need depends purely on group make-up and gear levels.
Do you really need SF? In current content no(except maybe driller or xenospider hissy fits). For CoA or AoD? Rumors around say SF is a needed crutch down the road. Though we don't know for sure.
Still even as dps spec I have shield fortress. The utility is far too strong to pass up. You have enough points to get it pretty much no matter what role you play.
You don't *need* it, other classes can indeed fill the gap, but at the same time, I don't really see what else you could really get.
Stat resets are so expensive And my build is really fun the way it is.
50% less dmg to knight, and 25% reduction to entire raid for 10 secs is pretty clutch. Bring 2 knights to the party ez mode alternating on current and future raid content.
Condicering how hard Rat Master's Hadouken AoE hits, having SF really helps. Needed? No. But I'll be damned if it didn't save people several times last night.
This is my current build at Level 37. My next level up i will put my str at 41. Should i start putting more points into Battle Order now?
I am new to ragnarok. Currently i am leveling my knight. In order to skill her right i tried to read the discussions in this forum. But there are a few questions i can't answer.
The first question is about shield cannon. I tried to read the discussions about this skill but i'm not sure what to do now. I can't make out a good argument not to have this skill except mayby a few point of DPS more or less. Are these few point in DPS really that important for a Tank? I think that the initial damage at the begining of a fight might be good for getting aggro but im not too sure about it.
Second i am a little confused about headcrush. I can see that the DOT is good for having more aggro but how does this skill work when other knights/warriors are in the group. There can't be more than one DOT on an enemy as far as i have seen it. Whose DOT will be on the mob? The one who casted it at last or the one with the most points in it?
Well thats all for the moment thanks for the answers an greetings!
P.S. Please don't mind my english. I am not a native speaker.
Edited by 6173130611092246097, 16 August 2013 - 09:45 AM.
Shield Cannon is more for PvP/Colo, it is your higest damage skill and can burst pretty high dmg when Cri.
For PvE, no SC and use only Aura Strike is fine, shield cannon animation is slow and you do not lose much DPS not having it.
That few extra DPS is not so important for tanks, however, colo gear is so good that it is important to all classes.
Some people find SC necessary for Colo, some don't, it is more of a play style problem.
For headcrush, it overwrites so the last one who cast has the DOT on mob, even if it is lower damage.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (September 7, 2018) – Running against another strong field of teams, Tallahassee Community College delivered another solid performance at Friday's University of North Florida XC Invitational.
With 176 points, the Tallahassee women finished sixth in the team standings, just seven points behind fifth-place Bethune-Cookman. More importantly, the Eagles bested Region 8 rivals Daytona State College, Florida Gateway College and Seminole State College, who finished seventh through ninth, respectively, as well as Edward Waters College.
The Eagle men finished seventh with 191 points, 18 points behind sixth-place Daytona State, but 15 points clear of Jacksonville University (206) and well ahead of Region 8 foe Florida State College at Jacksonville (254).
The Florida Gators took first place in the women's team standings while host North Florida claimed the men's team title.
Individually, it was a record-setting day for the Eagles.
Friday marked the first official 3K race in school history for the women, and Genevieve Printiss crossed the line first for the Eagles, establishing a school-record time of 12:10.25, good for 43rd overall in the field of 105 runners.
The next four scorers all crossed the finish line in a span of 21 seconds, led by Kendall Ward (12:25.59) and Mia Wiederkehr (12:27.34) who finished 51st and 52nd, respectively. Rachel Williams posted a 12:37.07 in 58th and Dorcas Jepleting finished 65th in 12:46.33.
Peri Thompson finished the race in a time of 15:26.23.
In the men's 5K race, Brandon Flagler was the Eagles' top runner for the first time this season, finishing in 17:21.48, topping Jesse Boyd's time in the season-opening Cougar XC Challenge on August 24.
Flagler finished 37th overall while Boyd was next in 48th (18:12.84).

Tight Ends Vance McDonald and Blake Bell Produce Career-best Numbers in Week 12
Blaine Gabbert continued to utilize tight ends on Sunday.
The San Francisco 49ers quarterback connected with tight ends Garrett Celek and Blake Bell nine times for 138 yards in a 19-13 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
In Gabbert's three starts this season, the fifth-year signal-caller has completed 19 of his 62 passes and all four of his touchdowns to the position group.
McDonald, in particular, has stepped up for the 49ers offense in recent weeks. The 6-foot-4, 267-pound tight had nine receptions for 64 yards in his first eight games of the regular season. He has since caught 10 passes for 136 yards in back-to-back weeks.
"He's doing a great job," Gabbert said. "He's working his tail off, and he's playing at an extremely high level right now. (He's) blocking well in the run game, catching the ball, and he had some big plays today."
After Garrett Celek was carted off the field on Sunday with a high-ankle sprain, McDonald and Bell became primary targets for the 49ers offense. They both responded with career-high totals.
"We knew they were playing man-to-man (coverages), and we won our matchups," McDonald said. "That's huge against Arizona, a big pressure team."
McDonald produced a career-best, six catches for 71 yards and added an 8-yard touchdown reception. McDonald has scored touchdowns in back-to-back games for the first time in his career, too.
Bell, San Francisco's fourth-round selection, posted a career-high 48-yard reception to help set up McDonald's touchdown. Bell's run-and-catch moment stood as Gabbert's longest completion against the Cardinals. Bell went on to post a three-catch, 67-yard performance in the defeat.
"I was just ready for when my time is called," Bell said. "Usually I am in there with three tight ends, but with Celek going down, I was just trying to be ready. Coach (Jim Tomsula) always says just be ready on your turn. I was just out there doing whatever I could to help the team."
McDonald expressed his feelings on the game's outcome overshadowing individual production.
"I'm doing anything in my power to win the game," he said. "I don't care about catches."
Despite the loss, both pass-catchers continued to showcase their improved play in the late stages of the regular season.
"I thought we did a great job of moving the ball," Bell said. "I thought the offense was clicking and other than that, I thought we just need to finish a couple more drives and get into the end zone. We knew coming in that we needed touchdowns, and we just came up short today."

Q: gulp handlebars variable declaration formats I am currently using the following format for gulp-handlebars:
{{#> layouts/main title="my title" pagename="my_page_name"}}

Where I see others using the following format:
---
layouts: main
title: my title
pagename: app-is-fixed
---

When I try the second format my page fails to compile or it adds the title as text on top of the page not as variable.
Can someone please guide me how I can use the second format for my template pages?

A: Managed to resolve it by using gulp-assemble, they have a pretty good description on how to get started https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-assemble
If anyone interested, this is the format used:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var helpers = require('handlebars-helpers');
var app = assemble();
var prettify = require('gulp-prettify');
var config = require('../config');

gulp.task('init', function(cb) {
  app.helper('compare', helpers.comparison());
  app.helper('markdown', require('helper-markdown'));
  app.partials(config.paths.path_src + 'templates/includes/**/*.hbs');
  app.layouts(config.paths.path_src + 'templates/layouts/**/*.hbs');
  app.pages(config.paths.path_src + 'templates/content/**/*.hbs');
  cb();
});

gulp.task('assemble', ['init'], function() {
  return app.toStream('pages')
    .pipe(app.renderFile())
    .pipe(prettify({
        indent_inner_html: false,
        preserve_newlines: true,
        end_with_newline: true,
        extra_liners: ['head', 'body']
    }))
    .pipe(rename({
        extname: '.html'
    }))
    .pipe(rename({dirname: ''}))
    .pipe(app.dest('site'));
});

gulp.task('test', ['assemble']);

And your hbs pages will be the following:
---
layout: default
title: Blank
heading: Blank
pagedescription: blank desc
---
{{#*inline "head-block"}}test-head{{/inline}}
{{#*inline "scripts-block"}}test-foot{{/inline}}

Trip to the North Pole
For more than a hundred years there have been disputes about the conquest of the North Pole. It all began in the second half of the 18th century and reached its climax in the beginning of the 20th century when in one week time Americans, Frederick Albert Cook and Robert Edwin Peary, both claimed to reach the North Pole. The first one claimed that he reached the North Pole on April 21st, 1908, while the other claimed that he reached it on April 6th, 1909. But none of them has ever been able to provide conclusive evidence supporting the fact. Apparently, none of them actually reached the North Pole, and the only reason they tried to prove the opposite was their unwillingness to give victory to someone else.
In the 20th century reaching North Pole has turned into some kind of a sport. Over a hundred years it has been conquered in all kinds of ways: by flying a hot air balloon, a dirigible, and an airplane; by taking a nuclear submarine and a nuclear icebreaker; by skydiving, and even by exploring it in "Mir" deep research vehicles.
In the 1970's, 80's and even 90's the focus has shifted from using technology to challenging individual strength and one's ability to overcome increasing difficulties: in 1978 Naomi Uemura (Japan) was first to reach the North Pole alone on dog sleds. In 1979 the first ski team to reach the North Pole was a team from Soviet Union. In 1986 an international dog-sled team was the first to reach the Pole without air support; it was also the first time a woman was a part of the international North Pole team. The same year Frenchman Jean-Louis Etienne was the first to reach the North Pole on skis alone. In 1994 Norwegian Borge Ousland was first to reach the North Pole on skis alone and unsupported. In 1999 an international team of divers was successful at scuba diving exploration at 90° latitude. The first attempt at an underwater exploration of the North Pole was made a year earlier and ended tragically with the death of the Russian diver Andrei Rozhkov.
Nowadays it is much more easier to reach the North Pole. During short Arctic summer Russian icebreaker "50 Let Pobedy" (translated as "50 Years of Victory") makes three round trips taking tourists from Murmansk to the "top of the world". Each expedition takes two weeks — in addition to the "Earth's crown" it also introduces tourists to Franz Josef Land Archipelago.
To be honest, I have never imagined I would be interested in traveling to the North Pole on a nuclear icebreaker. Usually I am after colorful rich subjects that can only be depicted in complex multi-row panoramic photographs. And the North Pole could be described as "white silence" :-) As strange as it may sound, this very idea convinced me to actually do it. I thought: "It's quite a challenge! Many photographers out there can take beautiful pictures of Grand Canyon on a sunny day, but how many of them can make at least few decent photos of the North Pole?" I called Oleg Gaponyuk and offered him to accompany me on this journey. He liked the idea and saw an opportunity to do something on the North Pole for the first time in history — to take aerial photo panoramas from a helicopter. However Rosatomflot (Russian Atomic Fleet) could not change their summer cruise schedule to let Oleg squeeze a visit to the North Pole into his busy schedule. "Andrey, would you do me a favor?" he called me "I will give you my camera and draw the outline of what I want you to shoot. All you'll have to do is push the button and take a couple of spherical panoramas."
And there I was on board the icebreaker, wiping off sweat after lifting 60 kilograms of my and Oleg's equipment, and trying to understand where the hell I was. Russian icebreaker "50 Let Pobedy" is a huge red-and-black monstrosity and one of the most modern and powerful ships in the world. It was built in 2007, but every line and detail tells you, "I was made in the Soviet Union." Frankly, it really makes a strong impression on you, and it becomes even stronger once you see this ship sail through ice. It breaks meter-thick ice floes as if they were eggshells!

The most impressive thing is how fast it pushes through the ice floes. I couldn't resist and took a video, which I usually don't.
You could never forget the vibration of the vessel while it is making its way through the ice and the scratching sound it made. It seemed like the sensations pierced my whole body. There was a swimming pool on board located close to the engine room. So while taking a dive you felt even more "connected" to the iron monster. Quite an unusual sensation — I highly recommend it.
But let's return to the beginning of our journey. Next to us on the pier there was an aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov". On board one could see a yellow dot and some action going on around it.
Only at home looking through my photos I realized that it was a fallen crane. And, like in the famous story, several men stood around it scratching their heads and giving advice to their boss with an enthusiasm.
Perhaps it was a chance for their boss to shake up the drab existence at the port, because 6 hours later, when two motorboats towed us from the pier, and we headed for the exit from the Kola Bay, the number of spectators around the crane didn't decrease, and nothing was done to resolve the problem.
So, after a morning sightseeing tour around Murmansk, visiting the icebreaker "Lenin", and a hustle of going through Atomflot strict security and finding our cabins, we all gathered in a lecture hall to meet our crew.
They told us how many minutes a person can survive overboard in the icy water, and how to put on a survival suit.
And here is our captain introducing his officers the next day on so-called Captain's cocktail party.
North Pole cruises attract rather colorful crowd. This variety may be the reason why organizers try to sort tourists in three groups according to the number of cruises that ice-breaker makes during a short polar summer: Western group (mostly Americans and Europeans), Russian group (Russians and Europeans), and Chinese group. Recently a number of wealthy Chinese individuals wishing to travel to the North Pole has grown so much that they even overshadow ubiquitous Japanese. I got on the second tour where one half of passengers comprised of Russians and Germans, and the other half comprised of Swiss, Taiwanese, French, and Austrians (about one to one and a half dozen people). There were also some Americans, Canadians, British, Australians, Italians, Bulgarians, Belgians, Ukrainians, Malaysians, and Koreans.
There were a lot of retirees among Europeans. You could see their responsible attitude towards the tour: they planned everything beforehand and were prepared for any situation. There were also many young people (judging by their appearance and behavior). I also saw some middle-aged couples and fathers with their sons. But mostly people travel alone.
Russians usually end up on a tour like this by chance, but only among Russians you would see families of four people traveling together. Also, the Russians are usually the first ones to book most expensive cabins; and only after they board the ship they start asking themselves "what am I doing here?"
So we finally went out to sea. I looked around to get acquainted with fellow passengers and discuss expectations for the upcoming trip. It turned out that people traveling to the North Pole stocked up on movies, books, etc. — they were under the impression that life on the icebreaker comes down to idleness and taking rare pictures of polar bear from the deck. But the reality wasn't what they expected! Life on board was in full swing, and most of the passengers rarely had free time between different kinds of activities: icebreaker tours, expert lectures on arctic history and ecosystem, photography workshops, etc. As well as The Poseidon Holiday, barbecue on the deck and on ice, swimming in the ice hole, debarkations from "zodiacs" boats, and helicopter drop offs. And all those activities were fueled by four meals a day, Captain's Buffets, gym sessions for those who want to keep in shape, pool, and sauna. And of course the bar with wide assortment of drinks and live music. There was a library on the icebreaker, which had different books and photo albums about Arctic history, geography, and nature. They also served tea, coffee, and buns round the clock. Of course, as with any cruise, there were those who focused on most difficult tasks, such as cleaning out the bar. But the rest of passengers tried to participate in every activity.
No doubt that all cruise activities revolved around our expedition leader, Ian Brid, a man of truly atomic energy and endless charm. He has been to more than 115 countries as the expedition leader and director of expedition cruise ships, ocean liners, and river ships. He is fluent in German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Danish, and English. Ian knows just a few phrases in Russian. He conquered the North Pole seven times. But his special talent was conquering his audience. He had great sense of humor along with willingness to help, inspire, and explain. And if only you could see how he held the traditional cruise auction! I should have filmed his performance on my camera to show it to my friends as an exciting television show. Ian charged everyone around him with his energy and made the long journey pass in a blink of an eye.
It's quite a task to please the audience that paid twenty thousand dollars for the show. On our cruise it was accomplished brilliantly. The staff was passionate about traveling and very fond of natural beauty of the North. They were friendly and highly professional — you could feel their drive and it was obvious that the guys were doing their best.
Interestingly enough, despite the fact that the cruise organizer was a Russian company, most of the staff comprised of foreigners (unlike the technical crew of the ship that has no contact with passengers, the cruise personnel works directly with people and is recruited solely for that purpose). I also met the owner of the icebreaker, Nikolay Savelyev. According to his words there was a time when the cruise staff was comprised of Russians. They were very diligent workers, but, being Russians, they had a bad habit of drinking at the bar after work. There is no harm for young men to do this for a couple of days. But there are some consequences after a long period of drinking. And even if these consequences are almost unnoticeable, they do affect the work performance in a negative way. Foreigners have different values: they put their work first and after finishing a shift they go to bed, because they understand how important it is to be fresh and energetic the next morning to take care of the passengers and address any possible issues.
The cuisine onboard was beyond praise. Not every restaurant can offer you such exquisite dishes that our chefs made in challenging conditions. Organizers spared no effort in putting together a very talented team. A new selection of seafood, meat, vegetarian dishes, salads, and desserts was served to us on a daily basis. There was even a special chef responsible for the pastries. I brought back menu as a trip souvenir, which excited great interest among the female audience.
For example, I've never tried a lobster like this before:
The meat was so tender, but I can't remember the name of the dish:
However a conqueror of the North Pole does not live by bread alone. This is how we celebrated the Poseidon Holiday as suggested by our court photographer — pardon — expeditionary artist Rainer Ulrich:
Of course, at the end of the celebration we had a barbecue on the deck.
With ice came polar bears.
Truth be told, the number of polar bears that you come across during a cruise varies greatly. A year ago, during the "Chinese tour" (with Sergei Dolya, a famous blogger) there were so many polar bears that people stopped reacting to their appearance at all. Something that I cannot say about our tour... Usually, at a sight of a bear the icebreaker would slow down or stop to give passengers a chance to admire the animal and to take some pictures. The most beautiful sight is of bear with its cub. You can lose the sense of time while watching them.
Although photos from other Polar expeditions show a lot of people with long-range "photo guns" ready to snap a perfect picture, I was surprised that there were no people with good cameras on board of our cruise. There were no cameras with telephoto lenses at all (I didn't take mine either, but only because I had tons of other photo equipment to carry around). So I made the following conclusion: smart bears simply decided that there was nobody worth posing for.
Time flew by, and we finally reached the North Pole. Our captain showed miracles of maneuvering and steered the ship exactly on 90° latitude. According to my watch it happened at midnight. However, our cruise time was different (2 hours offset) for passengers and for the crew; and I set time on my cameras by Moscow.
So what you should do in that situation? That's right: drink champagne, shout hurray, take pictures, and wave flags.
After that, our captain looked for a suitable ice floe for debarkation. Each year this task becomes more and more difficult, because of a catastrophic melting of the Arctic ice. Average summer temperature rises to +5° C. Wind and currents break huge ice fields into separate blocks of ice that periodically freeze back together again at lower temperatures. It was very foggy due to the high humidity and air temperature fluctuations (around 0 degrees). Or, to be more precise, there was only fog at that time of the year :-)
Finally, by noon the captain finally found the right field for debarkation. They began to unload equipment for a celebration. They put guards along the perimeter in case bears attacked. I took some panoramic photos while the snow was still fresh and untouched.
By the way, the glade water is safe to drink, because it is sweet and consists entirely of melted ice, which is very clean. Some people even filled plastic bottles with the water to take home as a souvenir.
According to an old tradition, everyone prepared to take a "tour around the world" by walking around the "NorthPole 90" pointer. We even arranged with organizers to make two circles instead of one. It would look much better when photographed from above!

After taking a group photo people broke up into different interest groups: taking a walk along the ice track, pulling the icebreaker to the North Pole pointer, rinsing rubber boots in fresh puddles, and, of course, taking pictures of other people doing all of the above.
As for me, I finally started shooting spherical panoramas from above the icebreaker — the photos had to be taken from the lowest possible height so a viewer could experience the "effect of personal presence." The idea was to create an illusion that if one reaches out he could touch the ship. Naturally, the actual distance to the elements of the icebreaker must be substantially longer than a person's arm; otherwise the icebreaker won't fit into a frame. Most of the time I shot from 5-meter distance above the ship or from the side.
It is possible that I was the first one to look directly into the pipe after the launch of the icebreaker. At least, our brave crewmembers, who volunteered to help me during the photo session, could hardly resist the temptation to send me away with a flea in my ear after I asked them to climb to the very top. However, they were quite pleased by new experience.
While we had fun shooting panoramas, very delicious food was served on ice and hungry passengers ate it very quickly. Alas nothing was left when I came, but they told me the food was very tasty. Of course, I believed them :-)
Our next entertainment was swimming in the ice-hole. Usually they search for big ice-holes and build ladder and other necessary small things. Although they couldn't find any large or small ice-hole, and had to skip that part of the entertainment program, it was still a Russian cruise! If they promised swimming in the ice-hole they should keep their promise! So said, so done: they found a crack in the ice, cleaned it a little bit, and invited people to take a dip.
The first ones to go were Russian men followed by the foreigners.
And then the rest of the crowd followed. It was particularly amusing to watch Chinese swimming in the ice-hole.
After the "around the world" tour at the North Pole pointer and the ice-hole swimming we went to see the Franz Josef Land. These islands were discovered by accident in 1872 by Austro-Hungarian expedition that sailed on steam schooner called "Admiral Tegetthoff." The ship was damaged by ice and, as a result, it drifted into unknown territory. After exploring the land, Austrians named it after their emperor. Russians visited Franz Josef Land for the first time in 1901. Vice Admiral S. O. Makarov organized an expedition to explore the southern tip of the archipelago. Before that British, Americans, and Norwegians explored the new lands. Franz Josef Land fell under Russian jurisdiction in 1914 when I. I. Islyamov came here in search of the missing Sedov expedition and hoisted the Russian flag on the islands.

We reached the Hooker Island, one of ten largest islands of the archipelago. There is famous basalt Skala Rubini (Rubini Rock) with largest sea bird colony in the world. According to Google, forty thousand birds of different species inhabit the rock. I was able to see the seagulls and something resembling penguins (helpful Google suggests that it were guillemots).
Click image to view a spherical panorama of the birds colony on the Hooker Island
When I started shooting panoramas I got greedy and used my 300mm lens in hope of getting a closer view of the birds, and was punished for doing so. Carried away by the process, I didn't notice the icebreaker slowly sailing away from the rock. There is no software that can stitch a panorama consisting of several hundred images taken from a moving ship! I noticed the change in image scale only on the 14th row of my panorama. It's funny, but at home I actually found a way to stitch them together without any problem.
Another attraction of Hooker Island is located nearby in the Tikhaya Bay. There used to be a Soviet weather station, and some of its buildings have survived to this day. Gray, almost white wood doesn't decay in the cold, and it seems like the last expedition left the station only recently despite the fact that fifty years have passed since the weather station had been relocated to one of neighboring islands. There are three crosses that stand near each other by abandoned buildings. They were put there in memory of those who lost their lives in these lands trying to reach their destination. It was here in Tikhaya Bay, where members of the Georgy Sedov expedition spent their last winter stay; the expedition mechanic Ivan Zander is buried under one of the crosses; and Georgy Sedov is buried on Rudolf Island.

There were people at the camp: a few unfriendly men and one female representative of the united Germany (who we couldn't see). The government has allocated huge funds to clean the Arctic and for that purpose a landing force was sent to the archipelago. Men told me that they were going to build a museum on the site of the old weather station.
The next stop was the Champ Island. It's famous for its unique spherical stones, the origin of which still doesn't have a reasonable explanation. They resemble Moeraki Bolders in New Zealand, except for the variety of sizes: from the ones that can fit into the palm of your hand to giants two meters in diameter. We made an explorative voyage on "zodiac", but we couldn't disembark because of the heavy fog.
Going around one of the island capes, we saw a polar bear (a white dot in the center of this picture) that was trying to find a meal in one of large bird colonies. But the bear was very unlucky: nests were built high up on cliffs, and it couldn't reach them. The bear looked ill and there was very little chance that it would survive for a long time. I felt sorry for the bear. Reading about the extinction of polar bears I didn't take it too personally. However, observing it in real life made me see things in a different light.
And this is a huge glacier slowly slipping into the sea.
From time to time icebergs break away (not very large ones comparing to the Antarctic, but not small either).
Undoubtedly, the "heart" of the icebreaker is a nuclear-powered reactor (or two reactors to be precise), but it's impossible to look right into the "heart" because it's located deep inside the ship and connected to a number of other mechanisms and parts, and placed in a protective casing. However all other facilities are available for exploration and make a lasting impression. There are two generators in the great hall that convert energy from nuclear reactors to electricity.
Icebreaker's "internal organs" make a deep impression on you, especially the combination of power and the manner in which it's operated. There is an insane number of sensors at every corner, and valves and monitors that someone must be able to "read" and "turn." Somehow it reminded me of Soviet missiles built entirely from lamps. It's hard to imagine how all of that works, how much effort it requires, and how to find people capable of operating them.
And now the icebreaker crew, the staff of Poseidon Expeditions Company, and yours truly are saying "Goodbye!"

Nautilus TreadClimber Cardio Trainer Receives Global Innovation Honor
A new Nautilus® TreadClimber® cardiovascular trainer that helps people achieve a runner's workout by walking has received the Global Innovation Award at the renowned FIBO 2007 international trade show for health and fitness.
ESSEN, GERMANY--Apr 26, 2007 -- A new Nautilus® TreadClimber® cardiovascular trainer that helps people achieve a runner's workout by walking has received the Global Innovation Award at the renowned FIBO 2007 international trade show for health and fitness.
The Nautilus TreadClimber TC916 cardio trainer made by Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE:NLS) was selected from among 28 fitness equipment nominations that are limited to those that constitute an advance in development for the entire industry and have been available for up to a year. It is the second time in three years Nautilus has received the top innovation honor.
"Receiving this honor twice in three years is further evidence that Nautilus is becoming the global fitness leader through our strong commitment to meaningful research and development, even though we consider ourselves early in our growth," said Gregg Hammann, Chairman and CEO of Nautilus, Inc.
"This recognition reinforces the trend we are experiencing with high levels of usage on this product by people of all ages and fitness levels at clubs where it is installed. It is helping people achieve a low-impact and high-quality cardio workout through the familiar motion of walking," said Darryl Thomas, President of International Equipment for Nautilus, Inc.
The Global Innovation Award was presented at FIBO, the world's largest fitness exposition, with more than 45,000 guests and 438 exhibitors at the annual show.

Selection was coordinated by the international approvals organization TÃœV Rheinland Group.
Nautilus TreadClimber cardio trainers were on display, along with the company's commercial lineup, including the new Nautilus ONE(TM) strength line, Schwinn® indoor cycling products, and programming through the Nautilus Institute(TM).
Nautilus received the award in 2005 for Nautilus® EV916 Ellipticals with My Stride® Technology. The elliptical trainer allows users to dynamically vary their stride from 0 to 32 inches during a workout with no adjustments. Both the Nautilus TreadClimber TC916 and the Nautilus elliptical with My Stride technology are made at the company's cardiovascular manufacturing facility in Tulsa, Okla. The company also offers five models of Bowflex® TreadClimber products for at-home training.

Having seen much of Zion on our 3-day hike and then dayhikes, we hopped in our rental cars and drove to the Grand Canyon's North Rim.
It was June (read: HOT!) and our time was limited, so a trip below the rim was not in the cards. Instead, we opted to hit up two overlooks above the canyon. Stop number one was at Bright Angel point. This is, probably, the most visited overlook at the north rim. It's a short trail (maybe a quarter of a mile round trip) with almost no elevation change. And, it is located right near the Historic Grand Canyon Lodge.
We were there at midday with clear skies, so everything was a bit hazy and blown out, but there is nothing that compares to the grand canyon on this planet. Jessica and I are definitely planning to get back here someday and venture below the rim for a few nights. I'd also like to do a rim-to-rim hike at some point in my life!
After seeing the big ditch from the busiest spot, we headed off on the road to explore a different more secluded overlook: Cape Final. The trail was a mostly flat 2 mi jaunt through pine forest to an overlook on which we got some much needed privacy. The elevation helped keep the air cool and we enjoyed exploring the forest and canyon rim.
My bachelor party hike across Zion was one of the most amazing and memorable experiences I have had. Seeing so much of the park, and doing so with my closest friends, was unforgettable. What I have yet to share was a bit more exploring I did with my friends after we complete most of the trans-zion trek.
While a few folks had to depart after we returned to Springdale, Doug, Jamie, Charles and I stuck around and left early the next morning to head up the narrows.
The narrows is maybe the most incredible hike in the world. After a 20 minute bus ride up Zion Canyon, you walk about a mile down a trail as the walls of the canyon work their way closer and closer to you. Eventually, there is no longer enough room for a trail and hikers begin trudging their way through the waist-deep river.
Working our way up the river for about 2 or 3 miles, we reached the canyon's junction with Orderville Canyon and the incredible Wall Street section of the river. Opting to save Wall Street for the end, we hung a right and worked our way up Orderville.
Exploring Orderville meant navigating a series of obstructions built by flash floods. Some were quite passable and just required a little balance. Others were not so easy.
After about 20 minutes we reached an obstacle we probably would have considered impassable had it not been for the large group of young girls who were already passing the small falls. One-by-one we carefully slide on our butts up the side of the canyon before making an uncomfortable long step onto a narrow rock.
Missing the long step was not a big deal. It just meant a short ride down a slick and wet sandstone slide into a shoulder deep pool of water. All of us made the step except Jamie whose foot slipped, sending him into a cold and wet plunge. As he slide around the corner he braced himself with his oft-injured shoulder which slipped out of its socket.
Luckily this was not a new experience for Jamie and he quickly relocated his dislocated shoulder. A bit of soreness for a while, but not disaster. Doug, Charles and I continue up the canyon for about ten minutes and then turned around back towards the main canyon.
Every time I visit the narrows (this was #3) I am shocked by the scale and beauty. I've been in March with Jess, solo in June, and then with friends this past June. And, while you can't beat the privacy of a March visit, the need to wear dry suits kills some of the enjoyment. Sliding in and out of the water to deal with the 95+ degree heat is a the perfect summer activity.
With only a half day left in Zion before heading to Las Vegas, Dan (who had just met up with us), Charles, and I wanted to get another quick hike in. I suggested climbing up to Echo Canyon on the trail to observation points.

A couple of weeks ago I compiled my European Travel Bucket List of all the places I want to visit and re-visit in Europe. But obviously my travel wanderlust doesn't stop there, I want to see the whole world! (Well a fair bit of it anyway).
I absolutely need to see the Northern Lights at least once in my life, and I'd love to go to that famous geothermal natural pool!
It's probably the ultimate place for luxury beach resorts and I need to experience that kinda luxury at some point, maybe I should start saving for a honeymoon treat?
It's a bit bladdy far away but it's got to be seen hasn't it, Bondi Beach, Ayers Rock, Sydney Harbour Bridge and so much more. The only thing is I'd need some sort of spider forcefield around me because I couldn't not deal with some of the beasts they have lurking around every corner!
Pretty much everyone I know who has been travelling has said New Zealand was their favourite place, so naturally I need to find out what the fuss is all about. Also, my mum is currently enjoying her second trip there, take me with you next time!
Although the idea scares me, I have always wanted to go on an African Safari to see the animals in their natural habitat. I'm such a huge fan of the zoo so it would be awesome to see the animals out in the wild!
I need to hit up those beautiful sands of Cancun and see the ancient Mayan ruins!
I imagine myself like Carrie Bradshaw dashing through the market in my huge dress and inappropriate footwear (yes I know that was set in Abu Dhabi, but you catch my drift), all super glam. I don't think it would actually be quite like that but I'd love to wander through the markets and stay in a beautiful palm tree, tile-lined oasis.
You can blame this one on my love for the movie Anastasia.
Everyone goes here. Everyone. I need to be one of those everyones at some point. See what all the hype is about.
Blame this one on my love for TOWIE and browsing the Daily Mail. Come on, we all do it right?
I've been to Barbados and wasn't completely sold, so it would be cool to check out another Caribbean island to see how it measures up.
Gotta love those retro cars.
If you're around my age, you'll know why I want to go here. 4 words. Holiday In The Sun. 'Buff said. Mary-Kate & Ashley were the original style idols of my tween years, wherever they went, I need to go.
Canada – Alberta & British Columbia. I went on a road trip holiday with my parents for my mum's 50th birthday back when I was 15, and I spent the majority of the holiday in the hotel room or the car, refusing to get out because in my words 'I've seen one tree and a mountain, why do I need to see any more?' Oh how wrong I was! This holiday is probably one of my biggest regrets because I completely wasted the experience with my sullen teenager-ishness. I would love to go back and do it all again to soak it all in properly.
The Caribbean. Back in 2011 me and my mum spent a week in Barbados, and then a week travelling around the Caribbean islands on a whistle stop tour. We had just one day each in St Lucia, St Martin/St Maarten, St Thomas, Puerto Rico & St Kitts. Definitely not enough to explore all there is to see. Again, it would be great to go back and spend more time in several of these places and see what they really have to offer. Top of my list would be St Lucia.
You may notice I haven't included anywhere from the USA on this ol' bucket list of mine, I figured there's so many places I'd love to see and re-visit in this awesome country that I would dedicate a whole post to it! Although I do realise that I have used a picture of the USA at the top of this post, I couldn't find any of my Caribbean pictures to use so that one will have to do I'm afraid. So expect to see another bucket list from me in a couple of weeks in the form of the great states of America!
Have you been to any of these places? Or are there any you would recommend going to that I haven't mentioned?
