Did anyone see that prog on BBC1 last nite, 20(?) places to visit before you die. I caught the last half hour of it but seen the full list in the paper anyway. No.1 was the Grand Canyon which doesn't appeal that much to me. What would your top 3 be?
Mine are in no particular order
1. New York
2. Disney World
3. Kenya (safari)

2) Iceland and Greenland
3) Canada (no particular area, it all looks like a beautiful country)

Apparently, when you die your body expunges itself of all waste fluids, so I think I'd like to go to the toilet!
I wouldn't mind seeing the Great Wall of China either, or the Pyramids, and I'd love to go and see the Loch Ness monster and solve the mystery!

Here's the top 50 - link (http://www.bbc.co.uk/50/)
How many have u visited?
I've done no.13 and it wasn't all that in comparision to the sites in and around no.34, Luxor. I've also been to no.37 Barcelona, visited the Nou Camp and opted not to go to no.48 Abu Simbel when in Egypt as it we were too tired!

It's before you die m_the_d - it could, therefore, be next week, next year. Unlikely, but there's always hope.

Out of the 50 places, I've been to Hong Kong, had an absolute blast, and spent shedloads of money.
From the list of 10 British places, I only have Isle of Skye and Isles of Scilly to go!
