Odysseus and the Trojan Horse

There was a war between the Greeks and Trojans. This war had gone on for ten years when Odysseus came up with the brilliant idea of constructing a large wooden horse, the symbol of Troy, to present to the Trojans as a forfeit. The horse would contain a hidden force of Greeks inside. The plan was that the Trojans would graciously accept this "trophy" of sorts the Greeks presented to them, and when inside Troy, the Greeks would jump out and attack. The Trojans turnt up that night and got mad drunk celebrating their victory, and because of this the Greeks had optimum time to sneak out of the horse and destroy the city, slaughter the soldiers, and enslave the women and children. Boom. Greeks won. War over.

I have a mad case of wanderlust and could see myself enjoying travelling anywhere. The places I especially want to visit are the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Greece, Russia, India, Australia, Japan, Alaska, and Hawaii. I also desperately want to travel down the west coast of the US at some point in my life. To be honest, though, I'd go anywhere and be happy. The farthest I've been from home is Canada, and I was four. Obviously, I don't remember anything from it.
