feylin ''so many icey ..too many to mention Northern lights, Rodeo, Himalayas, Amazon, Timbuktu ...mmmm
i suppose the one main thing for me is to pack my rucksack, get my boots and walk around the world , see everything , embrace different cultures, experience what I can along the way ''
Good evening friend.
''so many'' is good..never stop trying.
Liking your walking boots around the world idea. We get so caught-up in the fishbowl of lives we lead sometimes, just chasing our tails, it would be nice to just leave it all behind and walk. I love walking, have spent many an hour just walking and thinking, listening, smelling....'being', this life can be all too fast and furious sometimes that we concentrate more on where we are going than the journey we take getting there.
Nice post.
Best regards and warm wishes...

Get the head off my old CB650 and fix the bloody oil leak in the barrel/head joint.
Scuba dive under the Arctic ice shelf, preferably avoiding the polar bears but would happily observe them from the safety of the support ship.
Trek in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco
Re visit Norway with enough money to afford a round of beers, then go Ice climbing !
Dive with Manta Rays and Whale Sharks in the Maldives
and do all of that with someone so incredibly special.''
Hello There Sir. ...you know, i have often found myself in incredible places or watching marvellous things and wished that that someone special (my soul mate) were beside me to share it with me. Not that i don't or can't appreciate it alone, it just always seemed as if it would mean and be more with my loved one beside me. I sincerely hope that you manage to realise your wish list and with that incredibly special person beside you. Hopes and wishes... ..icey
Lulu ''Well I've done so much stuff and had so many adventures there ain't much left for me that I want to do, the only things I can think of are.... to fall in love and get married.....never done either so it would be good to try at least one of them.....''
Good Evening Lulu
Happy to hear you have done so much, i guess that the wonderful thing about this many varied life of ours, is that there is always something unexpected hiding around the corner.
I sincerely hope that you get your wish of love and marriage. You say ''..at least one of them..'', well i also hope that if it has to be just one, then it's love, for a loveless marriage i wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy (although there is a lot to be said for companionship).
Blessings and hopes for the future for you...

Inspector Gadget ''I know it sounds naff and everyone wants to do it but really want do a biking trip across the states coast to coast'' Good Evening Sir. Thank you very much for your contribution. Hey!..it doesn't sound naff at all, far from it. Regardless of how many other people want to do it, very few truly wish it and of those, even less actually manage it, a small number i hope you become a part of sooner or later [/fingers crossed] Best regards and wishes... ..icey
notgotabike ''I have been lucky enough to do the usual "fly in a helicopter/swim with a dolphin/bottle feed a baby badger" so next on my list is:
Get bike licence
Get bike
Enjoy bike
See Aurora Borealis
See polar bears, wolves, orca, whale shark and dugong in the wild''
That's enough to be getting on with me thinks.
PS - had FOUR of us in a two-seater Spitfire when I was a teenager - involved being very slim, double-jointed and totally intoxicated!!!!''
Good Evening My Friend.
Many sincere thanks for your post.
I must admit that i had to look-up what a 'dugong' was!..very interesting, thank you (who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks..lol). They look lovely.
Congratulations on your spitfire experience, must have been amazing and very real hopes that you manage to make your wish list a reality.
Regards and wishes...

Hello Sir.

''CBR, thats a strange one, Ride to Malta, down thru Italy ferry to Sicily then ferry to Malta, once there no roads worth riding on.''
Good Afternoon harry.
Perhaps (respectfully to yourself), it's more to do with the journey than the destination. Besides, after all those hours in the saddle getting there, what could be better than to soak, in a pool and up some rays [/smiles]
Best wishes...
