In 2005 I wrote a list based on a post from the Discovery Channel (Which is now the Travel Channel so I couldn't find the list, that would be awesome if it still existed!) and pulled it out again after seeing how successful Danny Dover has been on his bucket list and WOW it's very interesting looking back at that list and what I have accomplished/still have left/need to add to the list.
Here's my list from 2005 (Done are bold & My notes in brackets)
01. Own a Condo in Toronto then sell it and use it as a downpayment for a house. (technically did, but didn't buy one in Toronto, am owning a house though!)
02. Drive an INDY CAR. (amending to a Formula 1 car haha)
03. Skydive just once. (I'd love it to be jumping in New Zealand from the north island, landing on the south island)
04. Rent my own island (I'm starting a list of islands I'd like to visit!)
05. Scuba Dive
06. Go on a Safari in Africa
07. Visit Paris and Skate Through the streets at Night
08. Walk the Great Wall of China
09. Visit the Athenian Acropolis
10. Bask in the Sun on a Beach SOMEWHERE WARM
11. Visit Stonehenge (missed it when I was in England)

18. Drive the biggest boat I can find. (drove a 25 foot one?)

21. Own every single CD on my lists (not really as much of a goal anymore with digital music)
22. Go on a REAL archeological dig.
23. Attend a lecture in a real lecutre hall
24. Visit DISNEY WORLD and DISNEY LAND. Poke Mickey. (meh, I went to Universal Studios, that worked!)

26. Tell above how incredible they all are
27. Design a room according to Feng Shui.

31. Stare down roman statues
32. See ALL of the top 250 movies ever. (seen about 200 so far and that list is constantly changing!)
33. Buy a JetSki/SeaDoo.
So that was my list then, but in 6 years priorities and life has changed so I'm going to add a few to the list!
34. See Chemical Brothers live (they haven't been to Canada in 5 some odd years, I may have to go to them)
