Travel

- Go to every Province / Territory in Canada ~ When I was in High School taking Geography I realized how diverse Canada was and decided that traveling across Canada would be great as it has so much to offer.
- Go to every State in the United States ~ Also while in High School I was taking American History and thought that if Canada has that much to offer that the USA would have lots to offer as well. Just compare the amount of countries that could fit inside Canada and USA.
- Go to Europe ~ As far as I can remember I always wanted to go to Europe and see the Castles and Churches that were built there so many years ago.
- Go to Asia ~ When learning about my family heritage when I was a kid I wanted to learn about where my ancestors came from and found out that they were from Russia (the old USSR) and thought that some day I could go there and see where and how they lived.
- Go to South America ~ When I was in the early years of Elementary School I had several friends from different areas of South America and they explained how different it was from Winkler, Manitoba and that's whey I decided that that someday I would enjoy going to South America.
- Go to Africa ~ I loved watching the documentaries of Africa's wildlife as well as their different civilizations as it seems so primitive yet evolved in its own way.
- Go to the Scandinavian Countries ~ One of my high school teachers told me that this would probably be an area that I would love, because of the culture, food, landscapes, and history.
- Go to Switzerland ~ Switzerland being one
- Go to Fort Lauderdale ~ This was the Horny High School Student in me wanting to do something different for Spring Break. No longer a real priority but if I was in that area of Florida I would definitely want to stop by there.
- See a Volcano ~ Through the studies of Geology while in school.
- Watch a Volcanic Eruption ~ Got this idea while reading a story about Kayaking in the Hawaiian Islands.
- See the Mountains ~ Growing up in the Prairies made the Mountains seem special as a child.
- See The Ocean ~ Growing up in the Prairies the Ocean's seemed so far away.
- Go to Niagara Falls ~ Got this idea when I was a child as every day would start off with O Canada and when watching Television they would show the Falls.
- See the Pyramids in Egypt ~ I was probably 8 or 9 when I studied Pyramids and Egyptian Civilization for the first time for a school project and learning about the Egyptian Gods and all the Pharaohs which in turn made me want to someday get to witness these amazing man-made feats in person.
- See the Nile River ~ Also came from my first studies of Egypt.
- Go on a Cruise Ship Vacation ~ Not sure where this idea first came from
- Go on a Holiday with only a tooth brush and a Credit Card ~ I believe this idea came from Outside Magazine.
- Throw a Dart at Map of North America And Drive there ~ I believe this idea came from a movie I saw when I just got my drivers license.
- To See the Sun Rise and Set twice on the same day ~ This one came from the idea I first had in 1999 just before New Years, of standing on the International Date Line and jump between days, but since the International Date Line doesn't run through any land mass this one is impossible. I figured out that this is possible but would probably require a renting a private jet.
- To see all the 7 Wonders of the World (Stonehenge, Colosseum, Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, Great Wall of China, Porcelain Tower of Nanjing, Hangia Sophia, Leaning Tower of Pisa) ~ Idea came from while reading an article in a Travel Magazine.
- Drive to the Road's End ~ Idea came from Outside Magazine's List of things to do before you die.
In Texas's Big Bend National Park, drive up the road ending at the Juniper Canyon approach to the lonely Chisos Mountains. Everywhere you look will be cacti and birds, unpeopled brush, rock, sandy gravel, and a big, empty temptation.
- Go to Every National Park in Canada (There are 42 National Parks in Canada) ~ Idea came during my first visit to Riding Mountain National Park in 1994. During this visit I spent some time at the visitors center and watched some short movies about Canadian National Parks. I also love parks.
- Go to Every National Park in United States (there are 58 National Parks in the U.S.) ~ Idea came during 1998 when I read a magazine article about the top 10 National Parks in the United States.
