  1. Avery interesting list,a few of the usual suspects and some very surprising one’s.Own a Ford Capri being the most unusual and surprising one of all…..Venice, Italy is a place of great beauty somewhere I would love to visit again as I think I would appreciate it more nw I am older and besides I missed a Bellini cocktail in Harry’s bar, cheers.

  2. Isn’t it therapeutic to actually write a bucket list up? I’ve started writing one over on my blog http://www.worldwidewanderingblog.wordpress.com and I’m forever adding to it. I’ve done some of the things on yours – Auschwitz is a must-do and Dubrovnik is absolutely beautiful. We share some in common too – seeing Lion King on stage being a standout!

      1. Not on this trip. We are going to India, Nepal, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand. But who knows after that, Singapore and Malaysia would be amazing places to visit after that!

      2. Fantastic! I’ve only been to Singapore and Malaysia in Asia, so can’t offer you any tips but they are definitely worth a visit in future. Can’t wait to read all about it!
