Life's all about experiences but far to often we neglect these as we get caught up in the routine of everyday life. So I thought it's about time I committed to doing some of the things I've always dreamed of doing and have done a list and plan to work my way though them.
They include walking the Inca trail to Machu Picchu, staying in the ice hotel, visiting Angkor Wat, going to the Bull Run and tomato festivals in Spain, eating at Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck, riding on the wonder wheel in coney island (a must for all Warriors fans), play in the WSOP main event, buy a property at auction, etc, etc. So far I have identified 89 things to do.
What are some of the things you guys want to do before you die???

I want to be beaten up by a super-model's jealous husband.

Red, having read your story re: seeing the sunrise at the pyramids I added that on my list. Didn't you say you watched it from some dodgy takeaway joint.

I thought the sun never set in Vegas? Do you ride then Trace? |

Great great thread starter this one, hopefully some good ideas will come from it.
For me I think:
Write a book
Watch a boxing match at either madison square garden or ceasars palace
Win at least one majorish poker tournament (GBPT upwards)
Get a bassett hound (Im getting one next year)
Become a shareholder in Sheffield Wednesday (just waiting for those three lucky numbers on the national lottery)
The Bull Run has always appealed too
Shoot a gun (I am actually very anti guns, but Ive always wanted to fire one)
Fly first class
Cant think of anything else, wow Im pretty unimaginative

Lol yes. Watched it from an Egyptian KFC. What a sight though. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. |

I thought the sun never set in Vegas? Do you ride then Trace? I used to ride a lot, but I had a bad fall and was a bit scaredy after that. I miss the smell of the horses, I used to go riding and wear my jhodpurs all day - something very reassuring about them? The US saddles are massive, great for even beginners and from what I understand the horses are docile so I'd be happy to sit there for a few hours with a great vantage point watching the sun go down over vegas. Maybe next year... |

It's great to do the big "cliché" type things, but doing them only takes up a small fraction of your life.
There is so much to enjoy hidden amongst the seemingly mundane, every day things in life.
When you go on holiday, you see wonder and beauty because you expect to see it, and you want to see it.
Try looking at familiar things with holiday eyes.
