It's OK, I bite back
Well, I have finally done it.
Broken down just before my 41st birthday & written the dreaded BUCKET LIST (place ominous music here)...
Putting together a bucket list of things to experience before I die is tough there are just so many cool things out there to see and do and experience. I had to leave a few things out, but in general I tried to include things ranging from the obvious to the obscure, and the sublime to the ridiculous. And they all gotta be done!
And now I just need to find my travel partner... and do a few things to get ready. Learning specialized skills I've gotten on the list (Nitrox diving, and deep sea sailing for starters).
So what kind of things do you have on your list, or have you even written one yet?
Here's a sampling of mine... and let me know if any of this is on yours, maybe we can make a trip of it.
Earn the certification for Master Diver:
Enriched Air Nitrox
Shark Diver
Wreck Diving
Learn to sail deep water
TRAVELING & USING THE SKILLS I HAVE LEARNED
North America
Connecticut - W1AW - The Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station is known the world over for its on air Morse code practice sessions and news bulletins. When visiting ARRL HQ, W1AW is the first place members want to see.
Florida - Key Largo, Florida: Jules Undersea Lodge
Georgia - Attend DragonCon - world's largest fantasy/SF convention, held annually in Atlanta, GA, on Labor Day weekend.
Oregon - Visit Powell's bookstore in Portland, Oregon. Make a purchase.
Europe
Czech Republic - Visit Sedlec Ossuary
Dive every ocean in the world & photo document it.
Atlantic Ocean
Arctic Ocean
Southern Ocean
Indian Ocean
Pacific Ocean
Dive the Great Barrier Reef http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Barrier_Reef
Dive Nemo 33 Brussels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemo_33
Go skinny dipping at least once in my life.
Write a book.
Start my own NGO (non-governmental organization) and dedicate myself to a cause I believe in. Sure, there will be plenty of challenges to overcome, but if I am passionate about making a difference, I can make it happen. I'm thinking river & ocean water cleanup?
