I wanna meet someone at the top of the Empire State Building! (Or maybe I've just watched Sleepless in Seattle too many times...)

*knows the feeling, but still wants to do it anyway*

These ideas don't have to be exotic - some interesting ones in the UK would be good for weekends etc.

pm me the hotel name and address or website etc .. sounds good!
message in a bottle sounds a lovely idea... perhaps i could do that from one of my other destinations! (especially since I really love that song by Police)

Another variation on the windsurfing idea - try sandsailing. And i second Bouncy's idea - go through the eurotunnel, and then take a couple of random long distance trains and see where in europe you end up. Will probably be able to fly back again fairly cheaply from in or nearby wherever it is the trains come to rest.

I like the idea of sand-sailing - I think you can do that on Pendine Sands in S Wales, I'm sure my brother has done that.... will have to ask him.
Not sure I like the randomness of train journeys - I like to plan and anticipate things a bit more (but, hey, that's perhaps a good reason why I should do it!)

That's a nice idea ... I know, I could combine it with a dice-man type journey.....!

*searches out details* ok so iceland is perhaps better done with a few days. But the youth hostel is really nice in Reykjavik and you could combine northern lights!

Oh, THAT one - been to Reykjavik and swum there too... have done most of Iceland (not that there's a lot!) and I would need to go in winter for the Northern lights I guess.

When we were in lapland they were saying that february is the best month for the northern lights (and yep we saw em and yep they're amazing)

Doh... erm

Oblivion at alton towers/the big one at blackpool? I really don't like theme park stuff very much
Last night of the proms? have always watched it on TV, but it could be a nice one to go and be there.
watch a tv show being made? http://www.bbc.co.uk/whatson/tickets/ did that with University Challenge earlier this year
glastonbury :biggrin:

(got to wait til 2007 now though) - that's the rock concert or festival I initially thought of.... might still do it
summer/winter solstice at stonehenge? work tends to get in the way unless its a weekend.... but I do rather like Stonehenge :cool:

notting hill carnival (it's free :cool:

- I prefer the sunday childrens carnival to the monday) - haven't been to that, might well do, as my sister lives in London
See a red squirrel (brownsea island or formby)? - saw some in the Lake District, near LowesWater

Some good possibilities, here, thank you!
