Some of us share the same romantic specs

I'd like to go to the Mayan Temple Chichen Itza, and watch the serpent climb the stairs and try solving the mystery of the Olmec heads.
As well as that I'd like to visit the Inca city of Macha Pichu.
Obviously touring the world on a bike would be marvellous, as long as its not a Harley
Oh...and for everyone to feel the lurve, because theres enough here for everyone

Been there done that:

NW200 - 2002

It wasn't really a deportation, more of a 'please leave as you're not meant to be here'.

Escorted to the border and passed over to US officials from Canada - 1997. I got lost while driving one Sunday up by the lakes and ended up crossing the border without realising. Asked a local copper for directions and when I saw his badges etc I realised I'd entered Canada illegally without knowing. I fessed up about not having gone through a customs point and not having my passport with me and asked him to show me the way back to the US border, so he took me and explained to the US officials so it wouldn't cause too much bother. The US officials weren't too impressed and I was held in custody for a couple of hours while they checked out if I was even meant to be in the US at that time.

Mine is simple

I'd like to die knowing I did all I could and not regret anything I've done.

Its always better to regret something you have done to regretting something you haven't.

I'll have to think about my list.
