10 things to do before I migrate - suggestions please
 
Application's just gone in.
New camera on its way...

What should I see before I go? Looking more for nature/history than city.
I'm in the South West, so I've done Stonehenge to death and the Eden project and a weekend to Brighton are booked in.
I want to build a top 10 list, and do one a month to break up the wait.

gotta be London, buck palace, trafalga square, picadilli circus, jump on/off a red bus, big ben, e.t.c. I'm gonna make sure I get one last trip to the capital and take lots of piccies to show my boys in a few years.

How about cycling the Camel Trail in Cornwall (it's a flat easy ride for about 12 miles) and ending up in Padstow, then having fish and chips from Rick Stein's place while you overlook the sea in the sunshine. I did that on the weekend and it was brilliant!

Or have you been to the New Forest?

Have you punted (?) in Cambridge?

Only 10? I've called my list 1000 things to do before we leave. Ok I'm only got a hundred things on my list but it increases by the day.

If anyone heading to Dublin might be good to try and organise a meet up with anyone from there who is heading out to Aus.
