Before you die ( or get too old)

Post by kazalala »

Is there something special you would love to do before you die, or get too old? Do you have a dream or an ambiton you would love to fulfill, are you on the way to fullfilling your dream, have you actually had your dream come true, or do you think you never will? I think we all have dreams, ambitions, goals throughout our life, and many do come true. some are the typical ones of having a family, getting that car, or that job etc. some are more out of reach, but even so possible, and i guess some are impossible.

I have always wanted to travel on the Orient Express!! Im not particularly bothered about where i would travel to, its more just the experience of being on the Orient Express. I dont know why really, maybe i watched too many old films with my nana when i was younger:wah: I just think it has so much history, and its so plush and romantic, although im not typically a romantic person.

Anyway thats what i would like to do, and one day, I Will:driving:

Mine would be to complete all 4,000 miles of navigable waterway in the UK - I've covered about 1,000 so far.

Main problem is, I'd have to retire first as there no way I could have enough off at a time to complete some of the stretches.

3. If I got another degree, I would want it in paleontology, I always loved that field

4. Hold a grandchild in my arms.

5. Hear my husband say my name, and know it is me

I want to go to Hawaii, which we are planning to do next year after my husband graduates!

I want to see the Grand Canyon!

I would like to take a trip somewhere on a train, it really doesn't matter where, i'm kinda like Kaz with that one, i think trains are romantic.

I would like to live long enough to see some grandchildren, having Jacob at an age when some people are already grandparents, i kinda worry about that one!

I don't know if this is possible or not, but I woud like to meet Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and the cast from Friends in person and have a snack and a little chat with them. They seem like realy cool people.

Also, I would like to get a reading from a really good psychic so they can tell me about my future and so I can get some guidance from them about some issues that have been bothering me.

One more thing: I'd love to take a trip around the world with some fun and friendly people.

Hopefully, I will be able to do all of the above before I get too old or before I die. :)
