Thursdays #172 - Make your wishes come true

[slick]

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.

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

[Killearn Kitties]

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.

[critter crazy]

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???

[Cataholic]

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

[Edwina's Secretary]

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

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

[Dorothy39]

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


Any Vodka Slushies in that "Sement mixer?"

Ever wanted to climb the Tower of Pizza?

A Tower of Pizza? Where? Is that what's for lunch? With anchovies, please Will Domino's deliver the whole tower? Uh, oh .... Mario's climbing the Tower!

[mruffruff]

Could we please take a hike to the Mayan Pyramids? I've always wanted to see them up close.

An African Safari - I have always wanted to go to Africa. I think I would shed many tears of joy to see all of the animals in their natural habitat.

I need a nice tall cool drink right now - can't think of what to order though.

Ooh! Me too! Me too! However I think the closest I will get is a visit to Safari West up here in Northern California. As for swimming with the Dolphins, our Marine World has that and my cell-mate at work has done it. It's pricey, but you get to spend a day swimming with the dolphins AND whales.

How's our Tower of Pizza doing? Did everyone have some lunch?

I need a nice tall cool drink right now - can't think of what to order though.

How about a Mojito:
- Add a small handful of mint leaves to the bottom of glass
- Add 1 tsp of sugar
- Juice of 1/2 a lime
-- Muddle the mint with the sugar and lime (small it up to release the flavor)
-- Add 2 oz of good golden rum
-- Add ice and top with club soda

These are very refreshing summer drinks that a few PT ladies introduced me to at last year's PT gathering!

Slick, I would love to go swimming with the dolphins with you! If you plan on doing that in southern CA, do let me know and I'll make the trip!

For me, places I dream to visit include Ireland (particularly County Galway where my mom's side of the family is from) and to India to see the Taj Mahal.

How about a nice, relaxing Alaskan cruise/train tour. All-inclusive, of course, so I don't have to lift a finger (except for the one poised over my camera button).
