Been there, done that...



Well, here's something I've been thinking about doing for quite a while now. Looking back on my life (how old do I sound?!) I've realised I've done things that some people only dream about doing. But at the same time, there are still so many things I want to do, places I want to visit. So, I thought I'd write down all the things I've done that, when I look back, I'll realise just how great I've made my life! Or something like that! And I'm also going to list all the places I still want to go and the things I still want to do, so I can cross them off as I fulfill those ambitions and add them to the achieved list! So, here goes with the first list, I'll keep popping back with more when I have time and when I think of any!BEEN THERE, DONE THAT...Countries visited (including just passing through):Australia - SydneyAustriaBahamasBelgiumCanadaCyprusEgyptEnglandFranceGermanyGreece - Athens, Kos, ZakynthosGuernseyIcelandIrelandItalyJerseyLuxembourgNew ZealandNorthern IrelandScotlandSingaporeSpain - Grand Canaria, Mallorca, TenerifeSwitzerlandUSA - Florida (Orlando & Miami), New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas.
