Chasing dreams

I came across the following quote recently: "Don't follow your dreams; chase them" - R. Dumb

I have always been willing to work for what I want. I am not averse to it at all. I have always wanted to travel. Ever since I can remember, the top 10 things on my list of things to do have all involved going somewhere.

Top of my travel list since I was fifteen is New York. I want to do all the standard touristy things - run around Central Park and take a carriage ride through it; watch the ball drop in Times Square; ride the subway; see a Broadway show; walk along the Hudson; eat a bagel in Queens; drink cocktails at Attaboy and The Clarkson; take photos of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings and the view from Rockefeller Centre; ice skate; watch the New York Nicks. Hell, I even want to ferry to Staten Island! Ideally, I want to live out at least a year there - watch the seasons change the view of Central Park and experience the immensley rich culture of the city that never sleeps.

Next would have to be Paris - croissants on the Seine; the Eiffel Tower; navigating the catacombs; exploring the canals; even visit the Louvre. Then a northern Australia tour encompassing the Kimberley's, Uluru, Kakadu, Katherine Gorge, the Bungle Bungles, wave rock, Litchfield National Park, Karijini National Park and Cable Beach.  Milford Sound, New Zealand would be next. The Pyramids at Giza then a safari in Kenya. Beyond that, the list gets more adventure-filled with canoeing the Okavango Delta, climbing Kilimanjaro, seeing the northern lights from Norway, exploring Crimea, the Greek Isles, the islands of Thailand, Malawi, Madagascar, the Galapogos Islands, Antartica and the Amazon rainforest. There are more places on the list but I think you get the idea. 

So, while I wait for it, I am going to work for it!
