Pretty simple – this is my list of things I want to do before I can’t do them anymore…

I’ll be adding to this list all the time, as ideas come to me.  Please comment with your bucket list ideas!

(not necessarily in order of importance) In fact, most of these aren’t that radical, they’re just things I want to try eventually.

  1. Swim with stingrays in the wild - Completed in the Caymans in August 2008.
  2. Learn a foreign language - I have Rosetta Stone Spanish so this makes me feel a little closer to this goal.
  3. Re-learn to play the piano - (Specifically learn to play Clair de Lune by Debussy) I gave up on piano in middle school and I wish I hadn’t.  Watching my teacher play straight from brand new sheet music she’d never seen before was inspiring even at age 13!
  4. Have a baby – Pretty straightforward I’m hoping.
  5. Take at least one more international trip prior to having baby
  6. Take an international trip with baby - while he or she is still an infant – see post by Adam Baker of Man vs. Debt for my inspiration for this idea.
  7. Create and maintain a blog - I’m doing it!!!
  8. Get 100 subscribers for my blog – Help me out?
  9. Buy and use a RTW ticket - Chris Guillebeau of The Art of Non-Conformity has a great post explaining this.  It was all new to me prior to reading this article.  Now, it’s on my list!
  10. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge - Done in Aug. 2009
  11. Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge
  12. Stay in an over-water bungalow
  13. Take an international trip with my parents
  14. Shoot a handgun and hit a target - Preferably near the center!
  15. Own my own business
  16. Employ at least one other person - And be a killer boss!
  17. Attempt snow-shoeing
  18. Pay for a stranger’s meal anonymously - A former co-worker once did this when we were out to lunch and I was embarrassed to realize the idea had never occurred to me!
  19. Attend a Boston Red Sox home game
  20. Sea kayak in Hawaii - Done June 2010
  21. Swim with dolphins in the wild - My husband did this during our last trip to Maui and I am still kicking myself for not being out in the water too!
  22. Attend a UFC fight - And sit REALLY close.
  23. Do some kind of horseback-camping trip – Somewhere with gorgeous views, campfires, and an old Western feel…
  24. Play blackjack in Vegas - Done June 2010
  25. Attempt stand-up paddling
  26. Take a cross country road-trip
