Bucket List

A lot of people say "Oh I'd like to do that someday" or "Before I die, I'm definitely doing this." The sad thing is, along the way, we all tend to forget those little things we wanted to do. Sure, we might remember the big things--who's going to forget that at one point they wanted to see the Taj Mahal?!? But sometimes, it's those little things we wanted to do that never get done. And the shame in that is, sometimes it's the little things we can most easily do and which would bring the most joy to our life, even if comparatively speaking.

What are some of the things on your bucket list? Can you even remember anymore? I don't ever want to forget the things that made my heart skip a beat in excitement or fear or anticipation. So here I am, posting some of my bucket list. Maybe I'll be able to keep adding to it and checking things off as I "grow up."

• Ride an elephant in India. One of those elephants draped in rich, luscious fabrics and seed pearls and all those things you see in the Bollywood movies.
• Go on a cruise. Not exactly sure how I feel about this one, so I'd settle for just a little 3-dayer. That'd be good enough.
• Do at least a week long back country tour of Ireland, Scotland, England. Like a week each.
• Go to Cuba.
• Do a "history tour" of marathon and other Greek places from Greek myths.
• Visit: Rockford, Racine, Kenosha, and South Bend. These are all the places the first Women's Pro-Baseball teams played.
• See a Notre Dame football game at home.
• See a Steelers game at home.
• Swim with dolphins.
• Do a Jane Austen "history tour."
• Publish a photograph or sell a calendar of my photos.
• Go to Egypt.
• Visit my family in Italy.
• Meet Ginnifer Goodwin 
• Meet Colin Firth
• See a Kenny Chesney concert.
• Ride a train cross country.
• Write and publish a story or poem.

So these are the things I can think of off the top of my head. As you can see, they range from really simple to really exotic. Some things I can knock off soon and some will require a lot of planning. And of course, there's a LOT of traveling! Any ideas on things you think I should add?
