Casa Costello: Countdown to 40!
http://casacostello.blogspot.com/2011/03/countdown-to-40.html
About The Casa Costello Gang. Tuesday, 29 March 2011. Whose list of 40 items to complete before she is 40 terrifies me. So this is the plan of what I'm to do before the Big 4 0. I plan on doing regular updates of how the list is coming along - more items may be added if I have forgotten anything. My list is in no particular order - some items may require another one to be completed first. I am probably one of only a handful of people on the planet who have not sung at Karaoke (slight exaggeration I know!

Sunday, 19 August 2012. No2 Climb A Mountain (Without falling off this time). It has been a little while since I last post progress of my list. I really need to crack on and get a few more things crossed off. So without more procrastination I decided to head up a mountain (not the biggest one in the world, but still a very enjoyable one! The start point was at the car park opposite the "Storey Arms - Outdoor Activity/Education Centre" on the A470 road (Zip/Postcode: LD3 8NL). Unfortunately the weather wa...

Friday, 28 May 2010. Bring on the next two tasks! One down and 39 to go. Well I have now arranged the next two tasks and am truly excited! The first task is "No.7 Watch a Shakespeare play at the Globe Theatre in London". I have booked up to go and watch Shakespeare's "A Mid Summer Night's Dream" at the Globe Theatre in London. To make it even more memorable, I have got tickets to watch it at midnight on a mid summer's night (2nd July 2010). What could be more perfect? Cirque du Soleil began when a group ...

Monday, 12 March 2012. No32 Take a ride on an open top bus tour in London. The Lion of London. Before long we found a tour bus and jumped on board. The sun was high and it was a very hot day, so was perfect for sitting on the open tuop deck (actually, it was so hot that we were running the risk of gettign sun burned). Below are some of the photographs that I took on the tour. The Statue of Eros in Picadilly Circus. A view of the London Eye from Westminster Bridge. The Royal Court of Justice. There are fe...

Sunday, 4 November 2012. No 20 Do Something that wasn't on the list but should have been. Well the title of this post should now really read "No 20. Visit the Tian Tan Buddha in Hong Kong".

I will shortly post a full article of the whole trip to Hong Kong on my normal blogsite "One Man's Travels" but will tell you all about my visit to Lantau Island right now. The temperature was alrea...
