What's on your "Bucket List"?
Inspired by AspieGirl's excellent post,
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7306992


What things are on your "must do before I die" list?

I started looking at mine about 5 years ago, when I left the Army and made some major changes in my life. I realized I had done some pretty neat things, but still had plenty I wanted to do.

Crossed off my list:
Saw London, Paris, and Berlin.
Biked across Europe
Jumped from an airplane
Toured the Guinness factory in Dublin
Saw castles and Loch Ness in Scotland
Ran a marathon

Still on my list:
visit the Pyramids in Egypt, and the Taj Mahal in India.
see the Olympics in person
Take a cruise to Alaska
Write a novel
Win the lottery

5. We didnt do it all at once
An Army buddy of mine and I would take our two week summer vacation and pick a county in Europe. Pack up a tent, sleeping bags, some clothes, food, tools, and a camera. About every 4-5 days we would splurge on a B&B to sleep indoors, and do some laundry.
We did Germany, Belgium/Luxemburg/Netherlands, Denmark, Scotland (and parts of England), Ireland, and Norway. Met some amazing people on those trips. I really should write a book.

Heres a picture of us in Norway.
