1. Visit New York

I've been to America a few times, but always to Florida (the holiday state). It's a fantastic place to go, the weather is traditionally hot and humid, the beaches are amazing, the fish is incredible and the sights are just as good as well. But I've always wanted to visit New York because of the history it has, the hustle and bustle of every day life as well as seeing this transition from the park to the skyline:

Of course my stay there would have to be in some exquisite hotel and a large expense... But I shall worry about that when I get there!

I'm probably drawn in slightly more than I should by the way the city is portrayed in a lot of films, it's not something that is easily helped though given how much media we consume nowadays and how much we rely on it for a view of the world, but I don't mind so much, I've heard good things from friends and lots of people seem to go back there year after year, another positive I believe.

It's not just the skyline that I want to look at though, I would love to walk through Central Park, even if the park is massive and it might take a while, call a yellow cab from the 'sidewalk' and visit the Statue of Liberty. I guess this first entry on the bucket lists involves a few other minor choices as well, but I figured I would just round it all up into one seeing as it's all in the same location.

I found this brilliant picture of Central Park, it gives a great perspective of the grid layout that New York employs, and an idea of how big the park is:
