I did the whole see the crown jewels/Tower of London/London Bridge thing while I was in London I went to Herrods. I rode the double decker (tourist) bus. Saw Buckingham Palace and the changing of the guard. And I believe I had fish and chips at one point. But I did NOT get to go to Bathe, and see the Jane Austen museum, and run about the streets of Bathe in mocking of the terrible 2008 rendition of Persuasion. Also I didn't get to go wherever it is all my ancestors came from. I want to figure that out and go there. Go see the ol' homestead or whatnot.
I did the whole Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre thing. But I didn't get to sit at a cafe and watch all the parisian-ness go on. And I feel like i should have had more French food instead of just tourist food. So, yeah, France is still totally on my bucket list. Also I could get all down on the homestead there, too.
Basically I will always have travel on the bucket list. I will never finish it. I better hurry up and get independently wealthy.

Hmm. I thought your ancestors were not so much English but more something else. So you are thinking of going to Denmark? Or Germany?
Um, Sister, dear? Think of Mom's maiden name. That is very English. I'm going to have to make you sit down with dad and look at charts if you're not careful....
Dad told me I was a Spanish royalty decendant. Not sure if he is the right one to ask :)
But you do have a point - English makes sense, my teeth SUCK! I have to get another crown. This explains alot.
Well I am all for you being independently wealthy and all, but as an alternative may I suggest you marry a man with a stash 'o cash? :) I bet he'd share.
I don't think you can ever see everything in a visit. Even if you live there for a long time there is always more to see. I've lived near Seattle most of my life and haven't experienced everything here yet. So, travel is good. There is always more to see.
