What destinations are on your holiday bucket list?

Have you ever written down or even told anyone else what is on your holiday bucket list?

I haven’t, but since Connors leg surgery I have had lots of sleepless nights, so I decided to write my top 5 down and share them.

1. New York. I’ve been a couple of times before, I’ve sailed in on-board Queen Mary 2, which was amazing, I’ve stood on top of the twin towers and I’ve done the helicopter trip. What I really want to do is take Connor to experience this great city, so we have decided to go for his 18th Birthday. It’s 4 years away yet, but I’ve started saving spare change to pay for it.

2. Bahamas. The reason? We want to swim with pigs. We’ve done dolphins at Discovery Cove and sea lions in Dominican Republic, so why not pigs in the Bahamas. 3. A safari, now this one I have mixed feelings about. I don’t like creepy crawlies and I have never been camping. Oh dear, I hear you say, but Connor has decided he wants to be a zoo keeper, so I would love to take him to see animals in their natural habitat.

4. Viva Las Vegas. This is a place I am desperate to go, but just can’t make my mind up if I go with friends and hit the clubs, casinos and pool parties or take Connor and do it as a mother and son trip. Either way it’s on my list because of it’s larger than life reputation and it’s a great base for nipping off to the Grand Canyon.

5. Venice & Rome. I’ve been to Rome a couple of times during cruises, but never had more than a few hours. Venice is one of those places that I have always wanted to see, but as yet never made it. I read an article in a travel magazine recently about someone who did the twin centre trip by train and it sounded great.

That’s my bucket list for the next few years, so what destinations are on yours?
