Nothing secret about what I'm aiming to do but didn't want to bore everyone with plans but, as you asked:
Following City in Europe, as I'm not allowed personal leave at the mo
Spend the whole of January, after the schools have returned, skiing.
But I also want to spend a year in china and learn Chinese
Travel to Tibet, Nepal and Kathmandu and go trekking in the Himalayas
Cross the Gobi desert and travel the trans Siberian express to Ulan Bator and ride horses on the Steppes of Mongolia
Go to Antarctica to see the penguins and sail the Arctic Fjords.
Travel on a working boat around Northern Europe in Winter and catch the Northern lights. Visit the volcanoes and geysers of Iceland
Backpack round Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.
And cross the States by Route 66 on a Harley.
Visit Yellowstone before it blows.
So how the hell are you going to find time to moderate this rabble ? or are you looking for a substitute (cough cough)
Very envious of that list by the way.
