My dream to do list

I'm sure everyone has a dream list for places they would like to visit. But I won't be writing that, because as a travel agent...there are just too many places that I want to travel too! Before I got into the industry, my 2 dream places were to go to Italy and Egypt. I've been to Italy so I guess that leaves Egypt for my old, old dream trip list. Here is my current 'to do' list.

1) swim with dolphins in a natural habitat. I don't want to swim in one of those cheesy parks in the Caribbean where they house dolphins that were caught in a way with no regard to the animals. I don't think most people realize the cruelty used when catchy those beautiful animals. Many dolphins are killed, and treated with disregard and disrespect either in those parks or while trying to capture them.

2) Camel racing in Morrocco. It just looks like fun!

3) A hot air balloon ride. (the ultimate way would be a balloon ride over the french countryside)

4) Pay off my bloody credit cards!

5) Move out of the Kingston Hood

6) Take some pottery lessons

7) Yoga classes (but not the ones where they want me meditate)

8) Learn to fence ... but with big swords not the sissy ones.

9) Improve my aim with a gun. (I tried some target practice when I was a teenager...but I only managed to hit dirt with the .22 and then I took a clearing out of the forest with a 12-gauge. I just want to be able to say I actually hit the target. I don't want to kill anything. ( I even have a problem killing a spider.

10) Take some proper latin dance lessons.

11) Get a car

12) Kiss a Scotsman (preferably Gerry Butler...but I know this won't happen)

13) Go on an excavation. Like in Drumheller they have something where you can go on a dig and look for dinosaur bones. Or even better would be to help at an Egyptian excavation. That would be really cool!

14) Learn to play a song on the guitar .... not just a couple bars from a Nirvana song. Guns N Roses 'Estranged' would be a great song to learn.

15) get a tattoo with a special meaning.

16) Lose some weight...only keep it off this time.

17) Join the local YMCA. (But without the car ... this is an hour bus ride from my house, which means a major pain in the buttocks)

18) Take Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and manage to kick somebodys butt

19) Go on a missionary trip, somewhere where I can help by feeding them or comforting the hurt or helping to build shelters for them. I think this one would be very awesome!!

20) Fall in love (not counting on it)

21) Have/raise a child (probably need a home in order to be considered stable enough to adopt)

22) Improve my painting/drawing skills

23) Go for an elephant ride. But not the type at a circus or zoo. How about an elephant in Thailand?? That sounds good.

24) Learn to surf. But I haven't figured a way to do this with no chance of drowning or getting eaten by a shark, unless I go to Kyoto. Kyoto has this have this huge indoor water park where they have perfect waves in there and have professional surfers that are instructors.

25) Skydiving ... but then when I actually think about doing this, my palms start to sweat. I hate heights. Then there is also the splat factor. What if my parachut doesn't deploy????????

26) I'm also torn about bungee jumping. It looks fun, if it's done over water. But then I've had a neck injury ... so I don't want to damage my neck again.

27) Learn to scuba dive. But it's hard to find someone who will take you on when you have asthma...no matter how minor it is.

28) Parasailing, this looks super cool!

29) Learn how to pick a lock. You never know when you will lock yourself out of your house. Plus I think knowing something naughty will make me a happy camper.

30) Learn how to hot wire a car. Again this is a sexy thing. When a hot man knows how to hot wire a car??? Mmmm, yummy. Totally hot, unless of course he is actually going to steal the car... then that would just make him a thief. It's just another piece of naughty knowledge I want to know.

I could think of lots more....but today's log is big enough!!
