Thursdays #172 - Make your wishes come true

Going to try this so get your bags packed, folks.

We are going on a virtual field trip but this is something special. Everyone is to post something that they've always wanted to do but never taken the time. Well, now is the time. I'm sure this will take us all around the world. Ever wanted to climb the Tower of Pizza? Let's go to Italy. Always wanted to see the Vatican?? Well, let's make a stop there while we are at it. Or how about that burning desire to walk across the Great Wall of China?? Well, let's go.

Me?? I've always wanted to swim with the dolphins and the whales or take a long hot air balloon ride. So who wants to join me?

So, what are your wishes??? Let's make them come true, right here, right now.

Oh yes, and just to make this an official Thursday, that "seement" mixer that Gini brought last week is still out back and empty. I'll start now and get that thing refilled. I have a feeling there are going to be some thirsty travellers among us. :D

I'll swim with you and the dolphins. Can we go to see the Galapagos turtles too? and a safari?

I'd love a swim with you while I compile my long list of places I want to go. You've got to promise me something though. You've not to laugh at what my hair does under water.

OOOO.....I would love to swim with the dolphins!!! I would also love to go on an african safari, and an outback tour!!! Heck why dont we just travel the World???:D

I want to go to Stone Henge. Always have, I am so intrigued by it.

I have wanted to see Pompei since I first read about it in 7th grade.

I'll have a chianti with that please....

Have always wanted to see the Great Pyramids in Egypt, The Great Sphinx, The Statue of LIberty, Niagra Falls, The Battlegrounds of the American Civil War, President Lincolns' Memorial, and a pineapple field in Hawaii!!!!

I think I will get onto a cyberspace jet now instead!!!! Where to now :rolleyes:


Any Vodka Slushies in that "Sement mixer?" :rolleyes:

Lets go to Russia to see the russian dancers.

And I can find anyone ANYWERE near me who can proof-read my story that I wrote in russian. ( I think I'm going to give up writing russian stories, because I never know if I spell things right. :rolleyes: )

Yeah, those Russian Dancers!!!!! Ever tried doing that one??? :D


HEY!!!! (boom!!) Ouch!!!!! :D

I'll ride the balloon with you as far as Zermitt Switzerland at christmas . No cars and all kinds of food and SHOPPING. Chocolates and cheese dishes (the heck with a diet) You can ride a tram to the Italinan border and go more SHOPPING. Great idea to get out of the bar for a thursday.
I have done the whale thing it is really frecking cool. Was in a canoe with hubby in Washington (8 months Preg) . An Orca with her baby came up and let me pet her and her baby. I didn't even think twice about it was sooooooo cool.

One of my dreams - to go to Egypt to see the Great Pyramids, King Tut's tomb, the Great Sphinx. I went to a party on Ellis Island and danced under the Statue of Liberty, went to Niagara Falls last year (beautiful!), been to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and the pineapple fields. Dream destination is Tahiti.

I've always wanted to go to Poland and Norway. I'm part Polish, Norwegian, German and Bohemian. I've been to Germany and where in the world is Bohemia? So my best bet is to get to Poland and Norway yet. Chances are slim I'll get to either one because Terry says "Why in the world would anyone want to go to Poland?" :rolleyes:

Other than that, my biggest wish was to have a log cabin in the woods someplace....on a hill....one of those prairie style houses....not like Frank Lloyd Wright prairie, but prairie like with the nice big front porch....facing West....with a rocking chair or two....so I can sit in my rocking chair with a kitty or two in my lap sipping slushies and watching the sunset. After the sun has set, I'll go inside next to the roaring fire in the fieldstone fireplace and continue sipping that slushie while I sit in another rocking chair with a good book.....and a kitty or two on my lap.

I've had that vision in my head - like - forever!

Slick, Terry swam with the Dolphins in Florida. It was in a confined area, not just in the ocean, but he thought it was one of the coolest things he's ever done and he'd do it again in a heart beat! I thought the funniest part was when he and the other guy donned their skin tight wet suits! Bwwaaaahhhhaaahhaaaaahaaaha...hee hee.... :D

I want to do a tour of Europe. :D Maybe hit Australia if we have the time. :D

I want to tour the Roof of the World (Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, etc.) in the Himalayas. I want to see the Buddhist monestaries in particular.
