This was fun, but I found myself feeling gypped by the travel ones. They are all things I wish I had seen in person, yet there weren't so many of the really cool places I've been included! I've been to 10 countries other than my own, and even to France, but not to Paris. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to travel some more! :)

Ditto on numbers 1,2,7,10,21,30,37,54,57,60,63,67 (embarrassing but true!),77,88,92,93,94,98,99.

I feel like I've led such a boring life after looking over the list. But boring is far better than a life eventful for all the wrong reasons, I guess1

There is an alternative to trying to fulfill the list...Write your own! I've been thinking of making my own ever since reading this one!

Congrats on the new car and thanks for playing along!

Well, I would LOVE to say I stood in Times Square or saw London ;)

Traveling is one thing I would love to do more of ;)
