Since realizing total world peace is not going to happen I'll settle for this small list :D

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 :lol: (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. 8)

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.
