Day 20 -- What's On My Bucket List?

Today's prompt is... What's On My Bucket List?

I'm sure everyone's list looks a little different. I think mine mainly consists of travel -- there's still a lot of this world that I haven't seen and want to see!

1. Go to Paris. I don't speak but maybe 5 phrases of French (thanks, Mrs. Scarcelli for that 6-week course in 6th grade!), but I plan to muddle my way through. I guess I'd like to learn to speak French. I want to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and not pass out from my fear of heights. You think I'm being funny... I'm being dead serious! I have dreams almost weekly that I'm in Paris. Why? I have no idea. 

2. Go to Italy. I want to eat myself silly on pasta and gelato. I also want to learn to speak Italian. Oh yeah, and the scenery is so beautiful!

3. Go to Sweden/Switzerland/Denmark -- I feel like I'd fit in pretty well with my blonde hair & blue eyes there. 😉 Not to mention, the scenery is gorgeous. I will refrain from skiing though -- we all know how uncoordinated I am. I'll spare myself the visit to a foreign ER. 

4. Go on an African safari... and not get eaten by any wild animal.

5. Go snorkeling/scuba diving in the "Big Blue Hole" in Belize.

6. Go scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

7. See the pink sandy beaches in Bermuda or Bonaire. In case you haven't noticed, I love beaches.

8. Go zip lining through the rain forest. Again, my fear of heights hinders that a little, but I've got to get over myself.

9. Run another half-marathon. Or three. Once upon a time, I was in shape & did these regularly. I'd like to feel the rush of exhaustion/pure excitement as I cross the finish line again!

10. Visit all the Disney parks in Europe/Asia. I'm sort of a Disney fanatic.

11. Restore my old 1970 Cadillac deVille Convertible. It's currently rotting away in my parents' barn. It's not exactly in the budget right now with one in college and another on the way to college. It's not that the car is worth a lot, it's just nostalgia, and the fact that that car felt like it was floating when you drove it. I have yet to own a car that drove as nicely as that one.


12. Drive on the Autobahn. Fast. On the wrong side of the road. What could possibly go wrong? 

13. Visit all 50 states in the USA. We've seen quite a few, but the upper east coast still remains unseen by us. 

14. See the Egyptian Pyramids. I am fascinated by them!



That's probably enough for now. Lots of things I'd still like to do, but like I said, traveling is probably at the top of any list of mine!
