Subject: What's your life ambition/holiday destination?

Written By: Gis on 07/09/02 at 07:11 a.m.

That may seem like a strange combination but mine are the same thing : I would love to go to Canada one day and see a Moose in the flesh (so to speak).

I know what you mean: I have relatives over in Canada (West coast, with a self-made wooden house backing onto the water overlooking Vancouver Island.  Looks like paradise (even if it is an hour's drive to the nearest shop)...

  To finish my walk down this 2000 year-old Roman siege ramp at Masada on the banks of the Dead Sea.  After that, I'll have to think of another life's ambition. ;D

I can't wait to tell this one to my husband, who is a Canadian. He says everyone who is not from Canada expects to see moose walking around in the streets....

Heck, you don't have to go to Canada to see a Moose.  We have moose here in Salt Lake.  

I would love to go on an Alaskan Cruise.

To go back to Jamaica and see more of the island than I did...I only got to see Montego Bay, and would love to see Negril and Ocho Rios and Kingston (home of Red Stripe Beer!!!! ;) )....the people are so friendly and I could really get into the island thing for awhile!!! ;)

Mine dream vacation would be to Bethlehem, Israel. But not the Bethlehem that's slowly being destroyed by the ongoing carnage between Israel and the Palastinians. I prefer the one where Our Savior was born.
My second choice would be Hollywood (quite a 360 degree turn, isn't it? ;D)

I'm taking this to mean, two differnt things, so I'll answer it that way:

Life ambition is to become a full-time radio DJ maig the big bucks with a syndicated show.
Holiday destination for me is nearby, Orlando FL.  I know, cheezy, but for a kid at heart, all those amusement parks are just too much temptation.  I'd get bored at some resort.

I saw one in New Hampshire, near Loon Mountain.  And there are occasional news reports of one coming out of the woods in western Massachusetts to fall in love with a cow or two at the nearest dairy farm.  ;D

A realistic ambition?  To be financially self-sufficient, and own my own home.

My dream vacation would be camera-hunting wildlife in Alaska.

I'd also like to visit New Orleans, several places in Europe, and whatever the destination of the current issue of National Geographic is ( which changes each month, like my mind  :D )

My great-grandfather was from Greece, so I would like to find out what area of Greece he was from and visit there. Either that, or I want to go to Santorini Island.

As for the holiday spot, I want to visit Ireland and Scotland one day... lots of family roots there.

I know it's not like Northern exposure(with the Moose walking down the street.) it's more that I've always wanted to see a live Moose,I have no idea why I just have!, and I've always wanted to go to Canada and if I could combine the two that would be cool.But yes I guess it's true if you asked an English person where they  would expect to see a Moose they would probably say Canada strolling down the street! ;D

Retire at 45?  Hell, no - I'd like to have enough money to retire at 45, but a job that still provides stimulation (and income)

I'm going to be in both Ireland and Scotland in the near future (working, rather than holidays), and they're both great places (just keep out of jail, y'hear - I'd hate to end up meeting you professionally, so to speak)

I have to say Ireland as well.  I made it to England and Scotland last year, and I'm trying to convince my other to go to Ireland next summer (and I can be very, very convincing).  This year our vacations have been pretty tame.  We just spent a week in Connecticut and we'll be going to California for a week in October (Hollywood, no less, one of my other's closest friends is getting married and he does special effects/props for movies).

But my life ambition place is a house somewhere near the mountains that is neither too country or too city, where I can write full time.

LOL !  J.C. !  I love it !

If Goreripper saw a croc in Sydney anywhere but in a Zoo he would just die !

If I saw one in Brisbane anywhere but in a Zoo I would do similar...

They have them in Far North Queensland (we call it FNQ for short - try saying that to a foreigner and watch them get suspicious of what you are ACTUALLY saying) and they are also at the top of the Northern Territory and Western Australia (I think).
