What haven't you done yet in life?¿

Howdy All,
Now I'm not after the big things like going to the moon or you haven't hit the multi million dollar lottery. The things that are attainable but just haven't done it. Maybe going to a state or writing a book or meeting someone or buying something or starting a business.
As I get older things I want to do or see change but the 2 places I want to go to and haven't are Washington D.C. and Australia.

I have a real good imagination so my list is real long and I have no idea where to start.

Howdy BHD,
Try a catagory like travel. Now list a place that would be the easiest to get to that you just haven't done.

Most of what I'd like to do, I've done, I'm in the process of doing, or simply tweaking or improving the process while doing it.

That said, there is probably a lot of things out there that I have no interest in getting involved in. So I'm easy to please.

As far as travel, I was a military brat who got more than his share of travel, here and abroad.

My daughter craves for new adventures and challenges often, so, I help her get started in achieving hers...much of this time involves "passing the torch" on a skill or talent that she shares (and usually exceeds) with me.

Arrow PARTY like it's 2006

I almost did this a few years ago ;(ended up on Holland.) but I read that New Years Eve in Reykjavik, Iceland is the best place in the world to party in new years....(It may have something to do with the babes....)
So this is "one of those things" for all to consider....

ed. note: Although after last flights and ALL the hassles in security; International flying is not in my immediate plans.)

Hey Frank;

I've been wanting to take the family to DC, Australia, New Zealand, India, England and way up north in Canada. Maybe one of these days we'll get around to it - probably when the kids are a little older...

Watch my kids graduate from college....that will be a defining moment.


I'm well traveled but I would like to take delivery of my next Ferrari at the factory in Maranello Italy and drive it around Europe for a month or two.

1. Sail the south Pacific Islands. Probably never will, but it will be my dream.

2. Brewery/distillery tour of Scotland. Was gonna do it summer 06 but sending my youngest on an educational to Yerp. She's been in a French Immersion curriculum since pre-K and maintained a high A-B average and excels in sports. Time for her to have a reward.

3. Three daughters married to good men.
See #1 for probablility assessment.

4. Motorcycle tour of Argentina and Chile. I loved both countries and have wanted to return as a tourist for 20 years.

5. Take a slow cruise off east Africa in a small, luxuriously appointed motor vessel manning a concealed, 20 mm Oerlikon.
