you get the idea.
So I'm just starting off and I'm sure will be adding to this a lot over the years (and hopefully crossing some off too). Some are lofty and expensive (...well most of them!), some are simple and free (gotta find some more of those ones!). I just thought sharing this might actually raise the stakes a bit and give me that extra motivation to get off my butt and actually achieve some of these things.
I'd love to hear if you have anything you would add to your bucket list, or if you have one of your own.

ReplyDeleteToo bad that me and Ulf did not buy that murder-mystery dinner kit we where so close to buying in Melbourne. Ended up agreeing that everyone back home would think we where crazy if we suggeested that for an evening!
Love it! You guys really need to go to the US for an adventure trip by the sounds of things ;-) Good on you for sponsoring a child, that's great!
ReplyDeletePS! You can come and (try to) walk in my wardrobe any day!
i can help with number one...

Does brownies and wasabi nuts count as a vegetarian dinner?
ReplyDeleteI did #21 in Langkawi... it was awesome. Having said that, most of those beachside ones are run by total cowboys, the sum total of my instructions were:
ReplyDelete1. When I say run, run (takeoff)
2. When I blow the whistle, pull the ropes that have the red tag on them (that's how you land back on the beach)
3. When I say, let go of the red tag ropes, let go (that's how you don't smack into the sand at 100km an hour)
And I still landed arse first in the water, funnily enough? Ian's parachute ropes got caught around a buoy and he got submerged and spun around underwater as part of his take-off, and our friend Dan got bruised heels after a strong wind on landing!!
All that aside though... DO IT!!!!!! Would do it again in a heartbeat....
Love the list.... is 'move back to Melbourne' at #41?? ;-)
