Things to do before you kick the bucket...

1. 72

   jdaviswritesposted 15 years ago

   I want to try something, so hear me out. Post one thing that is on your life list (if you don't have one, start one today). This is a list of things you must do or see before you die. Skydive, climb Everest, throw a pitch at Yankee stadium ...whatever it is dreamers, dream it, and tell me one.
   
   After a sufficient amount of replies, I would like to create a hub with all the responses as well as provide tips on how, if possible, to achieve each one. You will each be apart of the finished product, and I have a feeling it could be very cool. Thanks to everyone in advance for all your input.

      No you haven't received any real responses have you? OK - here's a real one for you. I would like to travel to every continent, and also start working on individual countries. I've got quite a few under my belt, but it's a big world out there and I want to see as much of it as I possibly can.

      I love the "live by the Ocean". It must be amazing to wake up every morning and hear the waves and seagulls. Whenever I go on hols, if its close to the beach, the Suite has to be a Sea View... I guess that's the closest I'll get for now. lol.

    I made a mental list several years ago and have already done some of it.  Things like:
    learn to ride a motorbike, buy one, ride it (had a Diversion 600)
    do a scuba dive
    learn to ski
    live in another country  (there's nowhere like home though!!)
    drive on the right hand side of the road
    do my nursing degree
    visit somewhere exotic, 5 star all inclusive (went to Jamaica 2001)
    
    Now I am on to:
    do a Masters degree
    try to be a good role model at work
    be kind to the environment
    get fit/joined the gym (the body has changed shape...haha)
    be an activist for health without chemicals
    
    in the future it's about:
    buy a motor home and travel round the world - well, we will start with Europe whilst we have the dogs, then who knows where we will go
    grow my own veggies, in my own garden
    
    I realise that my lists are nothing extravagant, but I am trying to keep it real and attainable.
    
    Good luck with the hub.
