I live in Norway but have never been far enough north to see the midnight sun, I think that's one of the things I'd want to do soon. And sit out in a boat around the 15. of april to watch half a million puffins fly to the islands where they breed. Do a safari in Africa and lots of other things. Too many to think of this late in the night.

I live so far north that it's light during the night, but the sun sets for about 2 hours. It is the thing I miss most if I'm away in the summer, when you go further south it's suddenly dark and we don't really get that. You can't read a book out in the middle of the night though, I've got some friends there now so I might visit them come summer.

I would love to visit Cartagena De Indias in Colombia. There I would love to see the attractive architecture. I would like to cruise around the Galapagos Islands to see the amazing looking wildlife. I would adore a trip to Machu Picchu in Peru up in the mountains to see the historic ruins. It would be lovely if I could visit Madagascar to see the lemurs. I would love to visit many other destinations in the world. I would like to see the Taj Mahal in India and the Great Wall in China. I have visited Scandinavia and seen the Midnight Sun. I have been to Israel and visited Jerusalem. I have watched the orange sunset in the Seychelles. Good luck with your wishes to do all that.

That sounds like some very nice places you want to visit. I know my parents also want to go to Norway to experience the midnight sun. Personally there is so many places i want to visit, as they are each unique. So i wouldnt be able to choose out some individuals. I want the whole package ;)

The 5 places I want to see before I die are the following: 1) Pyramids of Egypt - I love the fact that it is man-made and yet so majestic. It makes me admire the capacity of human beings when working together. 2) Machu Pichu in Peru - When i saw the pictures in this place, i was so mesmerized so if the picture made me mesmerized, what more if I see the real thing. 3) Hawaii - This is my dream honeymoon destination and when I saw it featured in Discovery Travel and Living's 1000 places you have to see before you die. I was in awe. 4) Paris, France - It is the city of romance. Enough said. lol. 5) Colorado - because being in a tropical country all my life, I haven't experienced snow ever! The 5 things I want to do before I die: 1) Retire early - so that I can actually live my life 2) Go bungee jumping, skydive, ride every rollercoaster - I want to be extreme before I die 3) Be a great mom and wife - I am not married yet and I haven't had kids so I would want to experience this life before I die. 4) Travel the world - hence the 5 places I want to go to before I die 5) Be a businesswoman - maybe if I am doing what I love to do, I wont notice that I am working.

5 places I want to go before I die, I'd like to go to S. Korea, always liked their movies and how they look, I'd like to go there on a winter so I'll experience snow for the first time. Then, Canada... I think because I like to be a citizen there, I've heard there are a few citizens and I would like to add up to their population.Hehe! Next is Australia, I would like to work there as a nurse and probably live there. Next is Paris, well I guess everyone is curious about the place. And then last is Greece, I always see this place in movies and just want to experience being there. Things I'll do before I die: 1. Publish my own book, someone or should I say one of my instructors before told us about this old saying from a prominent person whom I don't remember the name.If you would like to be remembered after you die, then write something and publish it. 2. Bring my parents to tour outside the country. 3. Have my own house, business and car. 4. Give all my siblings their own house 5. See my family contented in life and happy. I'd like to see a smile on their faces before I close my eyes and die.
