Mexico: Cancun

I would love to visit Cancun next time I am in Mexico. I have been there once and I could see Cancun from where I was staying, but I never actually had a chance to go visit it. It is such a big tourist place that I feel the need to see what it is all about. I wouldn't go there for a long time, but I would love to just visit for maybe a day and have fun. The Cancun Palace would be a place I would stay if I went there, the view from the rooms is beautiful!

Mexico: Stingray Beach

Stingray beach is an area in Mexico that has a lot of stingrays swimming around and you can go in the water with them. You are allowed to feed them, and from what I have heard, the stingrays follow you around like dogs if you have food. I think this is a great idea, and would be very fun because I have always loved petting stingrays at the petting part of zoos or aquariums. Getting the chance to actually swim with stingrays would be scary, but such a great experience. Photos of Stingray Beach, Cozumel

London: Tour

The last thing I would like to do if I ever get a chance to go to London would be to take a tour on an open top bus. There are many different options for this, but one that I found out about has 80 different stops along the tour. Taking a tour like this would be great because I would get to see so much in a small amount of time. I would want to take a tour like this at the beginning of the trip, though, so then if I saw something on the tour that I wanted to see more of, I would still have time to go back later in the trip.

London: London Eye

The London Eye is the tallest ferris wheel in Europe. It is 443 feet tall. It is also the most visited, paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom. I love ferris wheels because they are relaxing and fun. When I get up to the top I love being able to see off into the distance. Being on a ferris wheel that is this giant would be amazing because I could probably see for miles. I hope to be able to one day go on this ferris wheel.

London: Buckingham Palace

I would love to see the Buckingham Palace. Even though it is one of the biggest tourist attractions in London, it is also still currently where the queen lives. You can tell if the queen is home by whether the flag is flying or not. I know I probably wouldn't get to see the queen while I was there, but I think it would be a really unique experience to see the palace where she lives. I would also really like to see the changing of the guards there. I am amazed by how still they stand, I don't think I could ever stand that still for so long, especially with people walking by and looking at me. The guards do a big show, just to change who is on duty. I think that would be very cool to see, because I have heard so much about it.

London: Big Ben

Big Ben, as most of you know, is the big clock located at the Palace of Westminster. I have been hearing people talk about it and have seen pictures of it pretty much my whole life. If I were to go to London, Big Ben would be one of the first things I would see there. When I think of London, I think of Big Ben, so that would be amazing to see in person.

Paris: Bateaux Mouches

The Bateaux Mouches is a cruise boat tour you can take around Paris. They have restaurants on board, so you can eat dinner or lunch while you take this tour. This would be a fun way to see a whole lot of Paris and many different monuments. It would also be a great way to learn about the monuments, because they have tour guides on the boat that explain the significance of each area the boat passes. There are 9 different Bateaux Mouches boats available for tours around Paris.
