List: Places to Go Before I Die
3:14 PM Posted In lists , travel Edit This 3 Comments »
Thanks to my good friend Cognitive Glitch, and out of sheer boredom, I have decided to make a list of some of the places that I want to go to before I die. Yes, morbid. And no, these are not all of the places I want to visit within my lifetime, but these are the ones that I want to go to the most. So, here they are:
Yes, it is a little cheesy to say this, but I want to get my fill of Americana. I want to ride a donkey to the bottom of the GrandCanyon. I want to go to Ellis Island and see the Statue of Liberty. I want to kiss atop the Empire State Building, like the reunion from An Affair to Remember that never happened. I want to go to Mt. Rushmore and dangle from our forefathers faces whilst being shot at like in North By Northwest. Hmmm....why was Cary Grant in so many movies with historical monuments? Strange...
7. Various traditional American tourist attractions

I know I will probably never end up going here, due to all the violence and whatnot, but I would love to visit here. Israel and Palestine would be two places I'd really like to see, take a journey through the Christian Holy Land, see Petra, etc. I'm also going to include Egypt in this category. I want to not only see the pyramids/sphinx/Luxor Temple/etc. and ride on a camel, but I'd also like to take a Nile River cruise...speaking of African river cruises, I'd also like to take a Congo River cruise (Heart of Darkness, anyone?), but that really doesn't apply in the "Middle East" section.
5. Machu Picchu, Peru
It is so unbelievably necessary for me to go here. I want to hike my way to the top, hopefully with some trusty alpacas and a Peruvian lady wearing one of those silly hats.
4. Germany/Poland/Matterhorn
First of all, I need to go to Germany to work on my German accent, which I find myself constantly slipping into when I am around my friend GreggoryAnn. While I'm in Germany, I figure it's just a quick hop over to Poland, my heritage homeland. I really would like to visit a concentration camp while I'm in either of these countries. And then, because Disneyland's Matterhorn is where the whole talking-in-a-German-accent thing came about, I need to visit the real one.
3. USA Haunted Houses
I am obsessed with paranormal shows and really want to have some sort of "experience", or just even see if ghosts are real. I've been to the Whaley House in San Diego, which is supposed to be the most haunted place in America. I didn't experience anything, so I want to go to other places. Places like, Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, Lizzie Borden House in Massachusetts; and the number one haunted place I want to go to is Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville.
2. England
The number one reason I want to go to England is for a Beatles pilgrimage. Abbey Road would be one place that I need to go, the other is taking a Magical Mystery Tour of Liverpool. I also want to go to London, of course, as well as Bath and Derbyshire (to see "Pemberly" and find Mr. Darcy).
1. Russia
I NEED TO GO TO RUSSIA. Red Square. Moscow. St. Petersburg. Vodka and caviar. Lenin's visible corpse.Enough said.

You figured out how to link the text! You'll have to update me.
Oh, the wonders of seeing the presidents' faces carved on a huge slab of rock. I actually almost can't believe you've never been there! You and Greggor need to go to Germany and learn real German. I had no idea you wanted to see haunted houses, I would be too scared. Or I would go only as a skeptic. I do want to go to Liverpool too. You're a creep for wanting to see Lenin's corpse. And can I just say I loved this post!
