Since realizing total world peace is not going to happen I'll settle for this small list
1 -Climb Kilimanjaro since this is one of the world's highest points that doesn't require full scale mountain climbing gear and experience
2 - Visit every continent
3 - Spend a summer in the OBX while living at OUR own place
4 - Live long enough to see our kids become self sufficient and act like human being to each other
(this was my moms big thing...fortunately she has lived long enough...it did take a good 30 or 35 years however)
5 - Visit the Albequerque Balloon Festival
6 - Fish a few Alaskan streams for salmon
7 - Take an Amazon cruise
8 - Spend a few weeks in the Serengeti
9 - Visit Victoria Falls
For a good book on "bucket list" places check out the
"1,000 Places to See Before You Die" book...fun reading.

I'm gonna start with something from the History Channel.
They had a series a few years ago where this lady went around the country digging for treasure.
Gold in California
Diamonds in Arkansas
Sapphires somewhere else
Etc.
I want to try all of them.
The Crater of Diamonds isn't far from where my parents are buried (30-40 miles) ........just sayin'

Go to Ireland to see where my daddy's ancestors lived (and a tour of the rest of Ireland).
Go to Germany to see where my mom's family lived.
(I live in the place where my other ancestors lived...Cherokees).
Have a condo on the Gulf.
Have a condo in Key West. And a scooter to go with it.
Learn to drive (handle ???) a Harley, then go on all kinds of trips on it.
Just take off in the car on a non-planned road trip.
