10 "Places I Want to Travel To"

Keep in mind that I have a paralyzing fear of flying. Its stupid - I know. I have heard it all - "Its safer than driving you know." But in a car *I* am in control of the method of death. It must be a control thing. I have flown hundreds of times, starting at 6 months old, by myself from age 10 on etc etc etc. I still hate it. It only got worse when the wing that I was sitting next to on a flight from Orange County to Portland was struck by lightning. I seriously thought we were going into the Pacific Ocean. It doesn't help that John Wayne airport has the most frightening take off procedure known to man, even for seasoned flyers. I have never wanted to open the plane door and jump out more in my life - that actually semmed like a good idea at the time... lol Rum is a good thing.


SO! Unless I get some serious therapy, good drugs (which I have tried some to no avail) , or transporting ala Star Trek - I don't think I will ever get to any of these places! lol But a girl can dream right?

1) Greece - back to the homeland, seek out relatives

2) Ireland - back to the other homeland - seek out relatives. Although I think tracking down the "McCarthys" that I am related too would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

3) Niagra Falls - I have always wanted to see this

4) Angel Falls - in Africa - since we are dreaming

5) Alaska - I would love to go on an Alaskan cruise

6) The Great Barrier Reef

Man... this is hard

7) Mt Rushmore - this may be achievable :)

8) The Grand Canyon

9) Stonehenge

10) Eiffel Tower
