3. Played in a band (Does high school band count?)
4. visited Hawaii (never wanted to)
5. Watched a meteor shower
6. Given more than you can afford to charity (I have however, given more than I can afford to groceries...)

8. Climbed a mountain (Heights and I do not get along)
9. Held a praying mantis
10. Sang a solo
11. Bungee jumping

20. Slept on an overnight train (They still have those?)
21. Had a pillow fight
22. Hitch hiked

26. Gone skinny dipping
27. Run a Marathon
28. Ridden in a gondola in Venice (More travel questions?)

56. Visited the Great Wall of China (Jeezus, with all the travel on this list, how do we manage to do any of the other things on the list?)
