    My parents don't like go abroad, so I haven't been out of the British Isles much. I've been to Germany and France with school, but that wasn't really very exciting.

    I would love to go to America. Hopefully, when i'm older I'll get the chance.

    Next Saturday, we are going to County Cork in the Republic of Ireland for a week. This will be my first flight. I'm a little scared, but i'm excited too. Hopefully the weather will hold.

    I loved my school trips to France and Germany (maybe I'm just sad ;) ) but especially the second time, me and 3 friends were allowed to the bar in our youth hostel place, and we had great fun :)

    PintSizeGenius, I'm sure you'll be fine flying, it's defiantely a great experience. I love it. My mom is terrified though, but I'm sure you'll be fine. It's great, a real rush.

    Hope you have a great time :) (I go to Greece in 6 days now yay)

    I was just reading about Diamondback, a new roller coaster opening in Kings Island, near Cincinnati, Ohio, in April 2009. A mile long, maximum height 230 feet, fastest speed 80 miles per hour, total ride time 3 minutes. Grissom might like a ride like this. The website has construction webcam, artist renderings, and computer generated video (don't eat before watching it) of what it will look like.

    Spend the last two weeks in England (South West Area) and loved it :D I have been to England many times now (actually lived there for 4 years, I studied in the UK) but everytime I go back, I just feel at home :).

    Next holiday we hope to go to Canada, that's been a dream of mine for many years.
