Last week while on vacation I went parasailing. Now, that might not seem like a big deal, but I've wanted to go parasailing since I saw it for the first time about 10 years ago. I'd convinced myself that I would look ridiculous if I went while too overweight, so I never went. When I started this losing journey back in Feb, I knew I had a vacation coming up that would be the ideal spot to do it, so that was my goal prize for losing 60lbs. And I did it. And it was awesome!! :smokin:

So, I've just now decided that I need to create a bucket list. Or, start one at least - I think 32 is a little young to decide -everything- I want to experience, so I'll revisit it every other year or so to add things. I've actually already done quite a bit in my life, but the feeling of checking that off my list was exhilarating!

That said, the line is now open for suggestions. What would you recommend that I HAVE to do some time in my life?? I come from good genes, with most of the ladies of my family living into their mid-90s, so I'm going to need a load of ideas! ;)

    Climb the Sydney harbour bridge? Run a marathon? Take a hot air balloon flight? Learn to Scuba dive? See the pyramids? Trek to macchu piccu? Learn a martial art? Learn another language? Play an instrument?

    Some of those are on mine, few I've done already. Love thinking of things to put on my bucket list :smile:

    Thanks, Louise - I will definitely be borrowing some of those!

    I already play 4 instruments, but the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Pyramids, being comfortable conversationally in another language (I already know enough of two other languages to pick up written meaning, but conversations are hard!), and learning a martial art will go on the list. I even already bought a pass for 10 Muay Thai Kickboxing classes a few weeks back, so I'm on my way with that one. :)

    African safari? Walk the great wall of china? Visit the temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia? One of the best things I've ever done is go camping at Ayers Rock (Uluru) - seeing the sunset over ayers rock, then sleeping under the stars and then walking round the rock at sunrise - incredible!

    Lol, can you tell I'm broke nowadays and pining for travel?!
