Old Joke (but relevant).
Little lad asks his grandad if he can make a noise like a frog.
"I expect so says grandpa. Why do you ask?"
"'Cos mum says we are all going to Disney Land when you croak"

Have I been lucky so far?
St Petersburg - lived there for 3 mths, loved it, beautiful if rickety.
Long boat trip St Pete - Moscow I've never done but apparently it's recommended.
Moscow - lived there for 2 yrs during the wild 90s. Like London or NY, it's a biiiig city.
Hong Kong - 4 hectic days April 97 before the handover to see the island and Territories. Nice, but I don't feel I need to go back.
Great Wall of China - one day out of Beijing, an hour taxi ride, see it - yeah, pretty impressive - don't need to go back. Seems there's 2 choices - the restored parts near Beijing, which are v.touristy, or the crumbling (and less impressive?) parts further away.
New Zealand - 2 week car tour at Christmas 96 with a Kiwi friend in a Fiat X1/9. Loved it, I'd move out there if it wasn't so far away from everything else.
Thailand - honeymoon a couple of years ago for 3 weeks. Loved it, want to return.

Want to see the Himalayas - and Everest - though not interested in Base Camp - would be too p1ssed off at the wreckage everyone's left there turning into a dump!
Grand Canyon - want to go down it on a donkey and through it on a raft - have wanted to do this ever since I can remember. One day maybe....

Watched Michael Palin's Full Circle a while back when it was repeated - some fantastic scenery in China - the name of the place eludes me but it's not there anymore as it was flooded to for a reservoir.
