Time Out

And whilst enjoying a quiet day at home doing nothing (do read that as ONLY busy doing the laundry, cooking, cleaning, tidying up after the 4 boys and all those boring stuff moms do but Insya'Allah banyaaaak pahala..), I thought of the top ten places I'd like to visit.

Any shrink would have a field day with my story - boring doing the at-home stuff therefore dreaming about a getaway. Typical la.

Nevertheless, here's my countdown of the exotic-but-not-necessarily-paradise getaway places..

10. Greek Islands (seem like paradise with the blue ocean and white washed buildings; and taking cruises around the islands)

9. Anywhere, Italy (love the olives, pasta, lemons, cheeses - but not blue cheese of course - and the anchovies)

8. Andalusia (almost magical with the historical buildings and places)

7. Egypt (would love to cruise on the Nile and see all the ruins. Oh, and belly dancing of course)

6. Serengeti (just cant get the beautiful colors of the place out of my mind)

5. Marrakech (the sun, the people, the market. I can almost smell the food)

4. Istanbul (love the mosques and the place where east meets west)

3. Mount Kilimanjaro (isnt the mountain so haunting in a way?)

2. Big Sur (was told it is the most beautiful place; like there is romance waiting. Yeap, as if..)

And the number one on the wish list is...

1. Rocky Mountains (cant describe to you how beautiful the place is. In winter, in spring, in summer but most of all in autumn when the aspen leaves would turn gold and would flutter in the windy Sept / Oct chilly days..)

Scrreeeech - so let's get back down to earth here.

So yeah, other than working hard in cleaning, washing, cooking it would seem I also had worked very hard on my day dreaming today.
