Inspired: What's on your bucket list?

[OceanAnnie]

Mine (in no particular order)

* Vacation on a houseboat
* Drive cross country including the length of Rt. 66
* Read (and re-read) a long list of classics
* Run in a marathon (that would be a major accomplishment, I don't love running)
* Write a book
* Cultivate a big green thumb
* Take the family to a laundry list of national state parks, camp and explore
* Ride a really long zip line
* Take a train cross country
* See the 7 natural wonders
* See the 7 man made wonders
* Cruise, cruise, cruise
* Be on a game show (and win big!) or win the lottery

That's off the top of my head. What's on your list?

Ok, it's stupid but:

I would want to be a contestant on Wipeout and Amazing Race with my DD12-if they had a parent and kid thing.

Take a underwater picture that would be in National Geographic.

Go back to Oahu and climb Diamond Head-better yet, move there and snorkel every day.

Spend a night in Jules' undersea lodge

Great barrier reef

do a zip line thing

Galapagos islands and take kick butt pictures

Not scream on a roller coaster or Splash mountain like a little girl. But BTMRR and Space Mountain, I don't scream.

Take my DD to Europe and do it on our own. I went in 96 with a bus tour group, I was the youngest one. 2 weeks of same people,sucked.

Go to Asian-Japan, Korea, China (great Wall)

I am sure I will see other posters stuff and think I want to do that too.
