Dave wrote (quite a while ago too) how he ranks on this top 50 list. I only found this today when checking out Boris’ site because someone had commented on it. I thought it sounded like fun, so I’m posting the list here too. :)
Here’s list (and what I’ve done):
- Swim with dolphins
- Dive the GBR
- Fly on Concorde
- Whale watching: Like Boris, I’m not sure that I’ve ever been on an official whale watching tour, but I have seen whales many times, including when kayaking in the Atlantic Ocean
- Dive with sharks
- Skydive: yep, many many times. I think my log book lists at least 50 jumps
- Hot air ballooning: Went for Amy’s birthday one year here in Ottawa.
- Fly a jet: Nope – but someday for sure!
- Go on safari
- See Aurora Borealis: Hmmm…maybe
- Walking the Inca Trail: Not yet, but I’ve been wanting to go down to Peru with Paul so…
