7 places I want to visit before I die

Travelling has always been a major interest of mine, whether just locally, around the country or abroad. I have been lucky to have visited a lot of countries but they have all been in Europe. By the time I die I want to have visited so many more places and see what the other corners of the world have to offer. 
So here goes, places I want to visit:

1) Kenya (I really really really want to go on a safari, only problem is I'd need injections to go and they scare me *cries*)

2) Sydney, Australia

3) Skiathos, Greek Island (where Mamma Mia was filmed)

4) New York

5) Bora Bora 

6) The Phi Phi Islands (pretty much because Rob's cat is called Fifi and they sound the same haha ... oh and it looks like paradise)
So yeah if anyone has a bucket load of money that they don't know what to do with then please donate kindly for the 'Molly travels the world' fund! ... no?... hmm worth a try!

*none of the above photos are my own - obviously, as I haven't visited them yet*

Missing the saxophone

I never thought I would say this but I miss playing the saxophone so much. I started playing the saxophone when I was 12 years old and stopped playing aged 17 after I got rubbish results in my first year of sixth-form. I stopped playing the piano and the saxophone as well as all the sports that I was involved in to concentrate on my studies. It has thankfully paid off and my grades are much higher now thanks to the amount of time I put into them but I miss actually being good at something. I managed to reach a Grade 7 and I am absolutely gutted that I didn't carry on till I achieved Grade 8 as it's the highest grade you can achieve. The sad thing is that I highly doubt I will pick it up again, after not playing for so long you forget so much of what you have learnt that is hard to go back.

I was in the habit of playing the saxophone every single day and whenever I hear or see a saxophone I wish that I had never given it up. Playing the saxophone has lead to so many great things and through it I have made some of the best friends ever through being in certain bands and I've had the chance to travel to various countries. I mean, how many people can say that they have played around Europe and played the saxophone at the main concert stage in DisneyLand Paris?! ... I can, whoop whoop!
