` Sunday, October 02, 2005
I was visually trying to colour the portions of the big, big world that I have visited and realised just how many more places there were to cover before I'd had enough of planes and foreign beds.

The top 10 places that I'd like to visit in the near future where opportunity calls include:

1. Barcelona (beautiful people, beaches and the mother of all Zaras)
2. Iceland (only during summertime for a dip in the famed Blue Lagoon)
3. Munich (beer-guzzling at Oktoberfest)
4. The Greek islands including Santorini, Mykonos and Crete (sun, white and black sand and sea!)
5. Montreal (indulgence at the jazz festival and putting my rusty French to use)
6. Maldives (crystal clear waters and beautifully peaceful resort lifestyle)
7. Hawaii (for all the hype surrounding the loveliness of the islands and popularity with the Japanese)
8. Bhutan (exploring and respecting the intrigue of the insular nation)
9. Washington D.C. (stately grandeur)
10. Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo (for a Latin America experience)

One day, I hope my bank account will finally agree with these prospective budgetary arrangements.

Comments:
Yo gal, jus to induce some good-natured jealousy, "round-the-world" time is back again for us merry folks and your young humsup legacy + carole are going to montreal whereas I am trotting off to Hawaii. Wish you were here!

I know! Realising it was October and thinking about the last time I had my RTW made me remember y'all and inspired this entry!

Have fun! :)

I've Been..

Satisfying the wanderlust fascination.
Slacking.
Sleeping.
Shopping (wayyyyyyyyyyy too much).
Reading NW, Famous and 8 Days voraciously.
Chillin' with a pint of good beer or latte.
Indulging in purposeful conversation.
Otherwise, I'm happy for you to leave me alone.
