Also, I would like to travel to Egypt when I grow older because of the mythology and check out the place. I've read lots of books about Egypts past and would like to see the farming, ancient houses and that sort of stuff. Also the Veniece would be cool cause of the waterway. Its by boats.

Machu Picchu is certainly on the list, there is also and island of the north east coast of John O'Groats where there is the well preserve remains of a settlement thought to be about 10,000 years old. Egypt would also be terribly cool. I guess living in Australia, we have no architectural history over about 200 years old so it kinda fuels the desire to see some of it. The Koori people were nomadic and as such built no lasting structures so apart from the cave paintings (still pretty cool) there is nothing to really explore. Also spending a few days on the ISS would be a buzz.

Pompeii and Herculaneum are a short drive away, both very interesting...go early to avoid the crowds, wander about on your own with a good guide book rather than join the guided tours. Ravello itself has amazing views towards the bay of Naples. Friendy people, lovely food, highly recommended. Should mention New Zealand though, the South Island in particular has some of the most outstanding scenery I have ever seen.
