Me? I want to do an Alaskan cruise -to see the whales.
Also the Pyramids - been close but not close enough.
Be mortgage free and actually own my own property outright. *six years and counting*
Own a beachfront property abroad (most likely never to happen).
What would you like to happen in your future that you think is likely?

In my 20s I worked as an Assistant Purser for P&O on the Island Princess which sailed out of Vancouver and visited Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Glacier Bay and I not only saw the whales but the most magnificent glaciers, and I was lucky enough to be able to retrace the old klondike gold rush trail by train from Skagway. I visited Bear Island by helicopter and ate fresh salmon straight from the river. Definitely a fantastic experience.
10 years ago I took my sons with me for a fantastic holiday in Egypt, visiting Cairo, luxor and Aswan - We saw the Pyramids, the Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel.
However, there is one place on earth I have always wanted to visit and that's China and to walk along the Great Wall and see the Terracotta Army. Been to most other places i've wanted to see.
I would love to be able to retire to a villa in Italy, preferably near Venice or Rome,
