plus the plane fare and whatever else you do for the week or two there.

I've traveled quite a bit, but YouTube and Google Street View have truly opened my eyes to the spaces and places I really want to see before I shred this mortal coil.

The expense on some of these "bucket list" type items however is way beyond my current means!

I'd like to see Antarctica and go by ship from Ushuaia, Argentina to the peninsula, across the Drake Passage, but that would be nearly twenty grand for a week!

Or stay at this Marriott resort I found, in the desert 70 miles outside Dubai - $1400 a night!

I'm too old to do the camping in a tent while cycling in Viet Nam thing anymore. I want a Four Seasons or a Starwood Property!!

I suppose that's why it's called a bucket list and not a "must do" list!

BTW and FWIW, here's something I thought of in the "if I win the lottery" category;

Go to one of the major custom coach builders, Like Marathon or Newell, have them put together a RIGHT HAND DRIVE coach with all the bells and whistles, ship it down under, tour the country and then put it up for sale.

I'm betting you could sell it in a week with 40,000 miles on it for almost what you paid for it. But what an adventure!
