New Adventures??


As you know, I do have a lengthy life list and checked off the two largest daring ones left on this vacation. (I'll try to post an updated list that merges what I have listed earlier but checks off items I have completed.) Maybe the only "bachelor" type item left would be to attend Mardi Gras, but after Pamplona, I'm not sure that appeals to me. However, there is a lot more to do. For me, the remaining items involve mostly travel from here out. Lots and lots of travel! I envision future trips will not be just for "the guys" but will include the spouses and girlfriends of my friends, etc.

How do you top running with bulls in terms of adventure? At some point, you have to cash in your chips and live off the earnings on a beach somewhere... don't you?!

I do know there is discussion about a weekend trip that would involve a single day crossing of the Grand Canyon from rim to rim. It's mostly a fitness test and interesting goal. That would be in September. Certainly, a worthy reason to ramp up the fitness training.

Someone mentioned today that I should request suggestions for new adventures to undertake. Great idea. Please hit the "Add a Comment" or "X Comments" link under this story to add a suggestion, comment or otherwise just verbally abuse me for your own pleasure. I would love to hear from you!

You and a friend should try out for The Amazing Race. How awesome would that be if you got on the show??!

What about the tomato festival? It's kind of lame and messy, but it might be fun.

Visit all of the New Seven Wonders of the World...plus the Great Pyramid of Giza.

I'd probably join you on some of those excursions, especially Machu Picchu.

Why don't you go to that place where you can skydive from a helicopter into the giant pit and open your parachute basically below ground! Or wrestle a bear or something!! Crazy man :)
