Thursdays #172 - Make your wishes come true

[RedHedd]

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!!!!

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?"

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....

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

[smokey the elder]

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.

I'd love to swim with the dolphins ... if I can hang on to someone who's a good swimmer. LOL! Or I could float on my back - if there are no waves.

An African safara sounds just right too. Would love to stay at Londalozi where John were in the eighties - he got an offer there though family.

I've never been to Italy, but I don't think it's the worst place in the world ... apart from the Italiens. Sara, I'll share a bottle with you!

Also, I'd really love to sail all along the Thames, stopping for a while in Henley.

To wind even more down after that, how about we all book ourselves in hotel Hacienda na Xamena in Ibiza for a week!

For now, I'll take a cuppa Earl Grey.

You lucky bumm!!! I envy you. I still want to see King Tuts Tomb myself.

I can almost hear the roaring water of Niagara Falls as I type, and I would faint if I cast my eyes upon The Statue of Liberty-- as for Pearl Harbor!!!

I will now close my eyes and pretend that I am at that memorial of the U.S. Arizona!!!! (our other, 9/11)

I tripped and fell getting onto the Maiden of the Mist boats and broke my camera just before we went under the falls. I did get several nice pics with my cell phone, though, and now it's my cell phone's "wallpaper."

You all have such great ideas.

One of my choices would be the Northern lights in Alaska or Northern Canada.
