Mmmmm...Travel.

One of my newest additions to 43 things is to write a "Travel To Do List" which now that I think about it is just a round about way of saying a list of all the places I want to go.

You would think after spending close to 7 weeks overseas in 2010 visiting 7 countries would have calmed my need to travel but as we all know that never happens....it just makes you want to travel more.

There are some places I really want to return to. I loved them so much i just really want to go again and discover everything I didn't last time. There are also some new places I'm keen to check out and explore.

So....here is a very brief...very limited list of some places I want to go. No deadline as to when they have to be visited by but at least when we're planning our next holiday we won't be stuck for ideas.

1. New York:
Words can not describe how much I love this place. Probably my favourite place ever that I have visited. We were only there for 2 days but I instantly fell in love.

2. Greek Islands:

I've never been but it just looks so beautiful, so peaceful.

3. The Maldives:

This was originally where we were meant to go on our honeymoon but it was just way to expensive for our newlywed selves to afford. It's still on the list though.



4. Las Vegas:

Lights. Shows. Gambling. Drama. What's not to love? Seems fascinating.

5. Sharm el Sheik:

I went there with the fam and it was beautiful. Just so so nice. Will go back for sure.

So that's my very short beginning to my list. While it's not as good as actually travelling, dreaming up a list of places to go still feels pretty good.

2011 will be a sweet ride...

With 2011 definitely underway now I've been thinking a lot about whether or not to have resolutions or whether I should just have a theme for this year.

I know that I want 2011 to be better than last year (as great as it was). I don't know....does that just put pressure on the year to be great and if it's not then it will just be a giant let down? Or will it help me strive to make this year amazing.

I have a couple of goals in mind. Nothing too amazing but just some things I really want to accomplish this year.

And of course I will keep going with my 43 things. I'm sure it will be a mad rush to the finsish line but I will try and get it all done.

I guess if I were to have a theme it would have to be: "2011 will be a sweet ride". I have that on the cover of my diary that i use everyday and I'm hoping that having it there will help remind me to make the most of everything, enjoy life and try new things that scare me.

So here goes 2011...bring it on!

Oh well.

So my camera died and that made it hard to take a photo a day for a month. I tried and i failed.


But I'm not leaving it there. I will get my camera fixed and try again in a couple of months and finish it!


I've been looking at all my goals and looking at the looming deadline and starting the realise that I really need to start doing a lot of them before I run out of time.


But I guess that's just the kind of person i am. Someone who leaves everything until the last minute.
