Things to do before you die....

[bigtattoo]

Does anyone have any wacky, far out things they want to accomplish before they finally go?
I have several, but particularly:
I want to get a traditional tattoo done. In the Maori/Polynesian style with a toothcomb and stick.

Go to New York and celebrate St Andrews day wearing my kilt- dont even know if its celebrated, just something Ive always wanted to do.

See Niagra Falls.

I find that funny. For 20 years I lived about 50 miles from there and only went about 3 times. Now everytime I go back to see Mom and Dad, I drive out to see the falls. If you stay on the American side, go to Goat Island and see the "Cave of the Winds" It's awesome. It's a walkway that takes you to the base of the falls, you can't hear yourself think, it's so loud and you can reach out and touch the falls themselves!

I was about to tell you you're not missing anything, but I guess I'd tell you the same thing about the Grand Canyon if I lived with it in my backyard for 20 years! Go and see it yourself. It's even better in the wintertime when the snow packs break up and go over the falls. (OF course, "Cave of the Winds" is closed in the winter!

Well, I would say I wanna drink Saki and watch the sunrise from Mount Fuji, but, I actually got the chance and did it. That only leaves one thing left to do on my list.....walk though Mexico and South America and look off the tip of Argentina and see if I can see Antarctica. Probably never do that one, but I also said I'd never climb Mt. Fuji!

One thing I will do before I die is visit the battlefields of the American Civil War. It's a spiritual thing to me, to walk the sacred ground where the men I have read so much about over the years lived and died. I've been lucky enough to travel to the US twice before, but never got the chance to visit any of the battlefield parks.

Things to do before I die...

Visit Japan.
But most importantly, get in a meaningful relationship with a woman.

Yeah, I got my priorities figured out.

[Mobius_1]

woooowwww, i've got some room to talk don't i? ;)

1. Buy a fighter plane, preferably an F-5B so i can take the ladies for a spin. ;)
2. Bring back the Tomcat! (It's gonna happen, i just know it!)
3. Get good education in Aeronautics so i can eventually start my own company. (this is before the Tomcat.)

And above all else: Not die a virgin :D ;)
(yes, i went there...)

and get a comic pack firefly! :eek:

The thing is, when its in such easy reach, its easy to become complacent and not appreciate whats around you.
I lived in Edinburgh for ten years- and it took me 7 of them to visit the castle.
And only then, because I had family who wanted to see it (and I could get free passes).
Sometimes its good to look outside the box you live in, and a great way to do that is to become a tourist in your own town/city- actually that reminds me of that episode from Friends- its so true.
Thanks for the advice, if I ever go, Ill be sure to do that. It sounds amazing.

I lived in Maryland, and my family went to Antietam, and couldn't stand the height of the observation tower. :o It's pretty during the summer.

Went to Harper's Ferry, too.

Never made it to Gettysburg.

The only other one I can think of visiting, when I was much younger was Pea Ridge.

Here I have a case of not appreciating what's in my own backyard so to speak. I've lived near the site of the Battle of Middlecreek my entire life and not actually visited it before. Sure I've passed by it on my way to a friend's house every now and then but never have I actually stepped foot on the site. I hope you do make that dream come true.

For me, my goals will be:
1.) to finish college
2.) to become a successful filmmaker and have a successful TV show
3.) start a family
4.) just live a good life.

Aside from being touched by a lady again, I'd like to learn to play the bass guitar I bought in 2001.

And, my main dream/ambition/goal in life is to become American.

oh its really pretty here at that time of year, its also really beautiful during the winter time, but you should go to a small town then a city that way you can see the real beauty of it all.

Nick

[General Jones]

I know. I spent two years there and got some great pictures, (I'll have to post my favorite one tomorrow for all to enjoy). A lot of my bet pictures came from the Auburn/Lewiston area, not in town per say but on the outskirts. That is why I want my wife to see it as well.
