    Thanks Papillion, been banging my head against the proverbial wall trying to recall the Corinth Canal.

    I’ve given up on wanting to do Cape to Cairo as I think it’s a bit dangerous now. Having said that, someone I know from Knysna just drove from here to Cork in about three weeks. I’m trying to get his route. I’ll content myself with a trip to Tanzania via Zim and Malawi, returning through Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia and Botswana. Well that’s one of my dreams anyway.

    Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

    RTW with one of the Queens. Mary, Victoria or Elzabeth that is, the full 120 day Monty!

    1) Visit Yellowknife, saw it on a depature board at YVR when I was 10ish, watched the PWA plane depart and thought to myself

    10) Watch my beloved hockey team win the Stanley Cup!! or Scotland at a WC final etc

    And tongue in cheek, i’m going to allow myself an 11th LP…sorry…….Jump on a Tram at EDi and get off it at Waverley….but I’m just dreaming now! LOL

    Thanks Canucklad, and you’re right. Work to live!

    Interesting how many of us want to do the same things. It’s also reminded me of some of the things I want to do and forgot about!!!

    Although a lot have been about place where you would have to fly to, nothing much actual has to do with flying, so here are a few things on my Bucketlist

    1. Non-Stop all business flight of Singapore Airlines from SIN to EWR and back
    2. Round The World Trip with a maximum number of stops (on this trip you could do a lot of things all of you reminded me doing)
    3. Round The World Trip with a minimum number of stop
    4. Camper trip through all the states of the USA
    5. Write a book about the adventures during the above mentioned trips
    6. Die peacefully in my sleep

    11. One-way ticket to Zurich before the miles run out and I have to fly economy.
