Where in the world do I want to go?

Ok, so I have been stuck at home for the past two days sick and now I am completely bored out of by brain - not that I really need to be bored to post this but I was just googling and thought I would write a post about where I want to go in the world

I crossed off a MASSIVE part of the list when I finally went to London last year - man I still love that place! I want to go back so much.. even after 4 months. So where's the next destination? Well I am hoping to go to Vegas later this year, but with everything happening at the moment, I am not sure I will be able to after all. Plus I need to save for NYC next year - for my big 4.0!!!

So anyhoo, where I want to go - well it might be easier to write a list (these are in no particular order):
  • To see the Northern Lights - whether that is in Alaska, Iceland or Norway doesn't really matter as long as I see them
  • Bavaria - mainly to see the Neuschwanstein Castle
  • Antarctica - come on?? Who wouldn't want to go there
  • Egypt - The Mummy... need I say more!
  • Ireland - It just looks stunning, plus Irish accents ;)
  • Canterbury, UK - actually I would like to see pretty much ALL of the UK, and of course I need to go to Canterbury - after all I have been to Christchurch in the UK :)
  • Kronborg Castle, Zeeland Denmark - apparently this is where the inspiration for Hamlet came from - Hamlet being my favourite Shakespeare play
  • Maine/New England in the Fall.. just want to see it, Autumn is my favourite season and the pictures of that area are just stunning
  • Kenya - I would love to do a safari
  • Capetown - it just looks beautiful
  • Copenhagen - actually any of the Scandinavian countries would be great
  • Scotland - well I guess this falls in the 'UK' section
  • Petra - ever since I was little I have want to see the buildings in the rock
  • Perth - everyone who has been says how great it is, really want to get over there
  • NYC - hopefully cross this off the list next year
  • York, UK - yep another UK one, this one is special tho. My dad use to put me on his knee and bounce me up and down whilst singing The Grand Old Duke of York when I was little. Ever since I have wanted to go to York
That is just some of the places I want to go. I would love to do a road trip in America -down Route 66.. I would also love to see the historic cities of Savannah & Charleston (I think this comes from being a huge Gone With The Wind fan). I would love to see the wide open spaces of Montana - I am not sure where it comes from but when I would little I always dreamed of having a ranch in Montana... - like I said, I have NO idea where that came from. I would also like to see San Francisco, San Diego and of course visit ALL my friends in the States.

I would love to go up to Canada and do a train trip across the state. Visit Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Prince Edward Island.

And I haven't even got to Europe yet!!! Germany, Italy, Croatia, Beligum, Czech Repulic just to name a few.

They say the world is our oyster.. well I wish it was cheaper & quicker to get around.. I need some of the floo power from Harry Potter!

At least dreams are free :)
