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.

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.

Paris: Disney

I have been to both Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida multiple times. Every time I have gone to either of them, I have had the time of my life. Even as an adult, Disney never gets old. There is a Disney in Paris now, too. It is called EuroDisney. I would love to go to EuroDisney to see what differences there are, and to enjoy even more Disney fun!

Paris: Moulin Rouge

The Moulin Rouge is a Cabaret in Paris. It was built in 1889, just like the Eiffel Tower and is mostly known for the creation of the can-can dance. The Moulin Rouge is a big tourist attraction and I would love to someday see a show there. There are many movies based off this Cabaret, including the movie entitled Moulin Rouge. It would be really great to see where the inspiration for that movie came from, because it is a really good movie.

Paris: Eiffel Tower

As most of you can guess, if I went to Paris the first place I would want to go would be the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is what is Paris is known for. It was built in 1889 as the entrance to the 1889's World's Fair. My friends in choir went to Paris a couple years ago and they had a blast. I would love to see the Eiffel Tower in person one day.

Norway: Atlantic Ocean Road

The Atlantic Ocean Road is called the Atlanterhavsveien in Norwegian. This road connects the island Averoya to the Romsdal Peninsula. Averoya is a small island with four Norwegian villages located on it. When I go to Norway I hope I get the chance to drive across this road because it is so unique and it would be fun to do so. I also would like to spend time on the Averoya island because I love seeing small villages in different places to see what they are like.

Norway: Aurora Borealis

Seeing Aurora Borealis is on my top list of things to do in life. When I was younger, I saw the Northern Lights slightly from my backyard, but it was really hard to see and just a little bit. I would love to go to Norway, or maybe Alaska, and see these lights up close. There is a reason they are one of the Wonders of the World. Every time I see a picture of the Northern Lights I am just in awe, and I know that if I see them in person it would be even more amazing.

Norway: Kjeragbolten

Kjeragbolten is a giant boulder that is wedged between two cliffs in Norway. People go there to visit and stand on the actual boulder. This looks very scary and thrilling and even though I would be nervous to do so, I think it would be great to go stand on this boulder. These cliffs overlook a fjord called Lysefjorden. There is a beautiful view from this rock and from the cliffs that hold the boulder in the air.

Norway: Hovedoya

This week I will be traveling to Norway. I am Norwegian and I have always wanted to visit the countries I am from. I will start with Hovedoya. This is an island near Oslo, Norway. There are two boats that you can take across to the island. There is so much to do on this island: visit the ruins of the medieval monastery, see the old wooden cannons that were used as defense on Hovedoya, or just have a picnic on an island. If I get the chance to go here, I would do all three of these things.

Las Vegas: MGM Grand

Another hotel/casino I would go to while in Las Vegas is the MGM Grand. My parents stayed there when they went to Las Vegas when I was a kid. They brought back souvenirs for me and my brother from the MGM Grand Hotel and I would love to actually go see where those souvenirs came from. I have heard a lot about the shows you can see in Las Vegas, and I would go see at least a couple shows while there. MGM Grand is one of the many places you can go in Las Vegas to see a show.

Las Vegas: Bellagio

The Bellagio is another hotel and casino in Las Vegas. Right outside this hotel, there is a water show in the Fountains of Bellagio. They put the fountain's movements to music and lights. I went to a water show last winter when I was at Disneyland and it was amazing. Seeing water shows like this is mesmerizing. While in Las Vegas I would love to see this water show I have heard so much about at the Bellagio.

Las Vegas: Underwater Slide

I recently found a picture of an underwater slide in Las Vegas. It goes through a shark tank when it is under water. I love stuff like this, so when I go to Las Vegas I want to try this slide out. Water parks are one of my favorite things to do during the summer and this would be especially exciting, sliding through a shark tank.

Las Vegas: Cosmopolitan

This week: Las Vegas. I wouldn't go to Las Vegas yet, I would wait until I am at least 21 so I am able to go into the casinos and gamble and get the whole experience. But one place I already know that I want to go to is the Cosmopolitan. My sister-in-law went there a short time back and told me how much I would love it. There is what is called the Chandelier Bar there that would be wonderful to go to. I am not a big gambler, nor do I drink but I would love to go there for the atmosphere and to see what it is really like.
