Destination Wish List

In all of my 24 years, I've been very lucky to travel a tiny bit and see some beautiful parts of the world. I wouldn't say any of them are what could be described as particularly 'exotic' but they are all places I'd dreamed of going, and spent hours picturing. Very rarely did the reality fail to match up! So does that mean that I am "well travelled"? I don't think so, mostly because the places I've been tend to all be very westernised! I still have a huge list of places I want to see, although now with a toddler in tow it seems to be less and less likely that I will actually get to see them whether it's because of their impracticality or the sheer cost!...ok mostly the cost! However a girl can dream can't she?! So I thought I would share with you some of the places I dream about seeing!

So *drumroll pleas* in no particular order:

Paris - The city or lurve! Cheesey I know to be desperate to go but I am! I would love to see the sites, mostly the Eiffle Tower of course, I just think it's such an iconic place as it's been on so many films etc, I feel like I want to see it first hand for myself! We did think of going once but the thought disappeared as quickly as it arrived with the news we were expecting!

New York - To me the ultimate destination. So much of me feels an affiliation with this place despite I've never actually been there. After 9/11 I strongly wanted to visit ground zero-I still do, to pay my respects. I also think all the tourists attractions like Times Square, Liberty Island etc as well as the shopping-oh the shopping!

California - who can really say they aren't a little intrigued by the film capital of the world? All those celbrities, all those affluent/stinking rich areas, I honestly think I would speand the whole time agog in fascination at the people, the shops, the houses etc all underneath the banner of a beautiful blue sky with high tempreatures-sounds like bliss!

Dubai - For some reason I have felt more intrigued by Dubai since watching a programme about how the money ran out there. I see so many of the wonderful buildings, hotels and man made wonders that have been created when money was no object and would love to see them up close. The flag hotel which seems to be it's trademark, the man made Islands etc-all seem to be fantastic examples of human handiwork. Oh and again, the shopping!

Tuscany - I've always been just a tiny bit in love with Italy, from a far anyway. It's somewhere the screams of love, passion, peace and serentity and makes me want to just jet off and look at the scenery for hours on end! A friend of mine went on her honeymoon to Tuscany and her photo's look every bit as gorgeous as the tourist given versions.

Venice - the sinking city. If money was no object then Venice would be the most perfect place for Baby Daddy to pop the question. Sadly money is an object but hopefully one day when Joshua is all grown up then we can get a romantic break in and see the one place I would love almost more than anywhere else!

Las Vegas - Baby Daddy went here when I was pregnant on a stag do and he absolutely loved it all. I was so jealous at the time but he assures me that one day he will take me back to see it for myself! I'm not much of a gambler but would love to stay at the Venetian-a hotel based on Venice-with indoor gondola's and ceilings painted as the sky. With my adoration of Venice it seems like the perfect hotel for me to stay in-when I win the lottery that is!

San Fransisco - Another place I've seen a lot of in films, articles etc and somewhere more 'normal' and less celeb drenched than other parts of the States. I also have an interest in Alcatraz and would love to go on one of the tours there to have a look round and see what things used to be like there.

The Bahama's - at the aptly named Paradise Island. Atlantis a man made island hotel with everything you could wish and dream for-all in one place. With swimming with dolphins, water parks etc although no cheap it's one I would love to go to especially now I have my son!

The Maldives - the ideal honeymoon destination for us! Although the only time of year we could get married just so happens to be the rainy season there! However the clear water and white sandy beaches are enough for me to imagine myself newlymarried, sunbathing and generally enjoying the bliss it would provide!

So these are my wish list destinations, all of which I fully intend to visit in my time, so long as I save like a maniac and potentially win the lottery! Ok...saving deffinately won't cover more than one of this destinations so I best get buying some lottery tickets!

Where are the places on your list?
