My Travel Wishlist

(Note: I'm still sailing up the Amazon, with no Internet connection in sight. I set a delayed publishing date for this entry -- I have to spread out the content and all.)

I had a little time to kill before boarding my ship, so I started thinking about my travel goals. Some of them will be achieved on my travels over the next year. Some of them will have to wait until subsequent trips.

Here they are in no particular order:

• Set foot on Antarctica
• Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro
• Jump out of a plane in Queenstown, New Zealand
• Do the 'World's Most Dangerous Hike' up Hua Shan, Shaanxi, China.
• Pay my respects at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial, Vimy Ridge
• Trek to Everest Base Camp
• See the Sun Rise over Angkor Wat
• Trek in Patagonia
• Visit Petra, Jordan
• Get onto the roof of a train in India
• Reflect on the beaches of Normandy
• Paraglide in Nepal
• Backpack in Glacier National Park
• Ride the Trans-Siberian Railway
• Connect with my inner-Darwin in the Galapagos Islands
• Ride a ship up or down the Amazon River
• Cycle up the Col de Tourmalet.
• Run the Médoc Marathon, sampling all eighteen wine stations.
• Drive the PCH between Marin and Big Sur, on a sunny day, in a convertible.
