100 Things I would like to do before I die...
What an ambitious project! I don't really think that I will my finalized list together in one sitting. Some of them are going to be really crappy, but I will come back and edit them later. There are a few things that should be on this list that I have already done. For the longest time, I dreamed of visiting Paris - now been there - done that - and all that it entails.
1) Learn to water-ski
(Not to an extreme level - just enough to be towed along and have fun)
2) Go para-sailing
3) Visit Gallipoli, Turkey at dawn on the 25th of April
4) Win lotto (well derr...)
5) Write a really entertaining (and not necessarily best-selling) book
6) Attend the Gymnastics World Championships or watch the gymnastics live at the Olympics
7) Have a reputation for throwing really good parties, and have people really look forward to your parties
8) Have a lovely flower garden
9) Sing a duet with my daughter that will knock people's socks off
10) Write my will
11) Be able to walk to the top of the You Yangs without stopping for a rest
12) Wear a size 10 sleeveless dress again and look good
13) Have a really long rambling family history trip to Ireland
14) Visit Auschwitz
15) Write the story of my life - honestly, brutally, and without elaboration
16) Have a wonderful wardrobe full of funky retro clothes and be able to carry them off without looking like mutton dressed as lamb
17) Read books that touch my soul every day
18) Ride a toboggan in the snow with C and the Midget
19) Live in a houseboat in Amsterdam
20) Write to Thomas Keneally and have him write back to me
21) Ride in a hot air balloon
22) Go snorkelling on the Barrier Reef (again)
23) Fly over Sao Paulo in a helicopter (I saw it once in that Race around the World show and it looked so awesome)
24) Go on the Race Around the World Show and be competitive
25) Swim in a pool in a cave
26) Get really good at eight-ball again
27) Take beautiful, magical photographs
28) Find cooking less of a chore and more of a wonderful experiment
29) Get a librarian's degree and work in a really cool place like a State Library with lots of really old, crusty documents
30) Do something really heroic and selfless
31) Have the guts to donate blood regularly
32) Walk the Sandakan trail in Borneo to remember our fallen
33) While in Borneo visit the orangutan reserve
34) Come to terms with my mother's death, once and for all
35) Go on a relaxing, luxurious cruise around the Mediterranean with a bunch of wonderful friends
36) Be comfortable enough with my own body to have a really good massage
37) Have a psychic experience
38) Be unafraid of confrontation
39) Be pulled along by a boat on an innertube really fast!
40) Own a classic car - something with fins
41) Earn enough money that I could employ a cleaner and never have to do housework again
42) Float down a long river on an innertube
43) Inspire other people to lose weight
44) Be in the room when my daughter gives birth and for her to want me there(that is a looong way off yet)
45) Attend the Venice Carnevale - and go to the ball in renaissance dress and mask and look really good.....
46) Visit Lourdes
47) Do a slow driving trip through France, without money being an issue
48) Be in a lighthouse on a really dark and stormy night
49) Learn to drink coffee, and like it
50) White water rafting
51) See the statue of Christ in Rio, up close
52) Go to a Cirque du Soleil performance with my daughter
53) To go on a really good flying fox or zip line (maybe the one in South Afica at Sun City?)
54) Eat Mexican food in Mexico
55) Live in rural France for a while, learn the language, shop at the markets, immerse
56) Visit the Lost city of Petra in Jordon
