  4. Wow! What a great and LONG list! I'm here visiting from comment love day from For The Love of Blogs. I saw your bucket list and just had to read it. I'm doing something similar. I call it a bucket list, but it's really a 101 goals in 1,001 days. Either way, I love the idea of doing things that you want to do or trying new things. I'm kinda jealous that you've already done whale watching. I've always wanted to do that. I don't have that on my short term goal list though. Maybe I'll add that to my next one! :) Good luck on your list!

  5. I love reading the life lists of others! I like the idea of adding museums and really specific items (like selling a photograph).
