  8. I feel like there must be more, but I can't think of it right now

Thats about 60 I think, that was a fun list to make, I recommend you do it for yourself. I am sure a lot could be added and if I think of 40 more I will probably post them. Feel free to suggest things. I have left learning a jet, helicopter and going to space in there, but i don't think I will get around to those for quite a while.

Who wants to join me?

Nice list. Will be interesting to see you rank those in order of desire to do.

I have also recently compiled a quick list of things I really want to do before I die and have so far come up with 7. Might have to steal some item off your list:)
