Wonders of the World

Since I was little, probably like every other kid on the face of the Earth.. I wanted to see the world. As everyone knows, Egypt is the first place to see on my list (even tho everyone I speak to say it's kind of sad now)...but browsing the web, I came across a list of all the Wonders of the World (Old and New).
