    I'd really, really love to see this one.

    I just get the feeling that it won't happen for a long time though.

    I have a new one which needs to be done this year (which may be unlikely cos of crippling debt :( )

    It's to go to Cuba, Obama has promised to ease the embargo, ie let american tourists in. Fantastic for Cuba and long overdue....

    But I would love to see it now as a time capsule from the 50's, using olive oil and sugar mixtures for brake fluid, ie improvising hard to keep these beutiful old cars running and no concrete and glass modern monstrocities

    It will all change in the next few years, and its not a pity cos you can't expect people not to progress to satisfy your own nostalgia but i would just love to see it as it is beforehand. Gonna find a way...

    Yeah that's one of mine as well! I'm thinking about going this summer for a few weeks but it will seriously depend on money/free time.

    Off the top of my head some others are:
    - Go to India
    - See the Northern Lights
    - Get a Phd
    - Study/work in Harvard (the most unrealistic because I'm an idiot :D)
    - Write a book (Fiction or non-fiction I'm not fussy :p)
    - Get a black belt in a martial art
    - Learn to fly (without the aid of marijuana!)
    - Learn to sail
    - Become fluent in another language
    - Learn to cook like a Michelin chef
    - Learn a musical instrument

    As a matter of interest, why an unmarked grave? assuming you're being serious..

    I think I've been pretty lucky in that I've managed to do a hell of a lot of things in the 3 and bit years since I left college…

    Visitied 27 countries including, France, Holland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Austria, Russia, Mongolia, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, The Philippines, Australia, Mexico and the USA.
    Rode the Trans-Siberian express across Russia, Mongolia and Northern China
    Walked on the Great Wall of China
    Was in Beijing for the Olympics
    In Cardiff for the Irish Grand slam victory (Probably the best day out of this list)
    In the Rod Laver arena for the Andy Murray's semi final at the Australia Open
    In Centre Court for Serena William's semi final at Wimbledon
    At Leinster vs Munster Heineken Cup Semi Final at Croker
    At Leinster vs Leicester Heineken Cup Final in Edinburgh
    Drove a camper van to the Rockness festival in Scotland
    Flown in business class on a long haul flight for free.
    Jumped off the top of a waterfall in the middle of an Australian rainforest
    Surfed off the coast of Hawaii, Australia and Bundoran!
    Swam with a giant sea-turtle while snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef
    Visited Home and Away beach (life long dream… don't care how sad it is)
    Learned to Fence
    Trebled my salary and became youngest ever manager at my company
    Had my music photography officially published
    Emigrated to another country

    Things I'd still love to do…

    Visit South America
    Learn to Ski (properly)
    Become fluent in a foreign language (maybe Spanish)
    Build my own house ideally on a coast somewhere
    Go to Glastonbury festival
    See a match on the main court at the US and French tennis opens
    Get a pilot's licence
    Do a skydive (got as far as the airfield when i was in Oz only for it to be called off because of a cyclone)
    Complete a triathlon in a respectable time
    Ride across the US on a motorbike (currently cannot ride a motorbike so this one maybe a little while off)
    Visit every country in Europe


    With any luck I might be able to knock a couple of them off in the next three years.
