Stay in one of those hotels that has your room right on the beach with a jacuzzi on the deck (maybe I might find one in Hawaiii and then combine...)
Go surfing in Hawaii
Live in Vancouver and see a whale
See as many animals in the wild as I can
Swim with dolphins
Own a large comfortable house and have kids and lots of animals in it

Wow, some of your dreams are similar to mine! I want to do all of the above (except I would like to walk along part of the great wall of china rather than see it from space).
I would also love to visit India. I love Italy so I would love to go there again and spend longer in Rome and Venice. Also I have always wanted to try canoeing and go in a helicopter!
But I have already done a parachute jump, been to University, own a house, and have 3 children which were other important ambitions.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

I've been really lucky and been able to do a lot of travelling lately (on other peoples expenses
) - I got some great news recently that will pay off a lot of our debts, and after that my two dreams are:

Interesting thread, so many travel-related dreams! I'm intrigued about the number of people who want to fly business class long-haul...save your air points for the upgrade, it's not worth actually paying for (unless you can convince someone else to pay for you!).
Mine are pretty much all travel-oriented:
- live in Japan
- travel round Alaska
- travel round Sth America, maybe live there for a while too
- actually, travel anywhere! To always have the money and opportunity to travel
- write a novel (and see it published)
- design my own home
- learn to play the cello
better get started!0 -

I am just a simple lady (so th OH says)
Do a couple of circuits at Brands Hatch or any other circuit really on the back of Valentino Rossi's bike with him riding of course. Better get a move on though as I am getting on a bit and not sure how much longer I will be able to !!!! my leg over! :j :j :jI USED TO BE INDECISIVE BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE!
Rich people tell you that money doesn't bring you happiness just so the poor people don't feel jealous.0 -
:huh: Just seen they have put exclamation marks in place of my word. They must think I was being rude! Perhaps I should have said "cross my leg"

Sorry to be so depressing but I always wanted to:
Pay my mortgage off and retire at 50, oh- and be thin. I managed to pay my morgage off & stop work at 48 and I am a size 12.
Reason? My parents died & left me enough money to pay my mortgage. My spine was found to be so ****ed that I had to give up work for good & all the stress & depression caused me to lose weight.
Dont learn do I? Still scouring these boards to save up enough money for a house deposit for my son.Tallyhoh! Stopped Smoking October 2000. Saved £29382.50 so far!0
