@gary... I learned to pilot a bobsleigh here at the Whistler Olympic track (fastest in the world at the moment, though I hear Sochi will be faster). It's absolutely f*ing mental. I ended up doing about 30 runs and was still scared sh**less every time the light went green and they pushed me down into the track. There's 16 corners, they would only let me start from corner 3 after the training... still hit 100mph around the last corner.
If you're ever over this way you can go down the track for $159... well worth it.
Mate I would love that. I'm a massive rollercoaster fan, so the thought of travelling that fast under all that g force, without the safety, pushes all my buttons.
I would like to invite my family and some close friends to a surprise party in a 5 star Hotel, and tell them how much I love them and then hand them all a generous cheque from my massive win on Euromillions. I would have a traditional Jazz Band playing, and achieve my ambition to sing with the Band. If I waited to sing until after I handed out the cheques, just imagine the applause.
Looked at TrekAmerica but never had a decent amount of time off school/work etc to do it!
Would probably go for their routes a little but do it myself instead, or with mates etc. Looked at New Orleans up through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada into California and back along the coastal highway to Mexico.
See a lot of the National Parks that route, Monument Valley, Zion National Park, Glen and Grand Canyons. Can do New Orleans that way which looks a cool City, Area 51 (more for the experience that actually believing it, Vegas (Penn and Teller and fountains more than gambling!), LA, San Francisco, Old Wild West ghost towns, Texas in general....
But Bucket List-wise it's a dream so maybe the East Coast etc too!!
Did all those, look at doing the grand trek which is what i did. You'll spend time in all of those places.
Think I'd follow that sort of route, bit would fancy staying in B&Bs, Motels, hotels etc (not the usual chains though), not camp!
