Default Silly Desires in Life....what are yours?

For me, I always wanted to learn how to fly a plane, hang glide, scuba dive and sail around the world in my own sailboat.

What wishes/desires/dreams do you folks have?

I want to learn to surf. I've never been near the ocean long enough to have time to do that.

Take a trip to space. Growing up while watching the space program develop it's always been a dream of mine.

I want to play in a major sports championship (Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals, Stanley Cup Finals, Final 4, Rose Bowl, The Masters...)

Of course, if someone gave me tickets to one of those events, I'd be happy to just watch.

I wanted to be the 1st female baseball player! I'm going to learn to sail though, so I can take my sailboat from florida to the keys by myself. I would also love a pair of manolos- just so I can say I own a pair (I doubt I'll ever be able to walk in them).

I want to:

See a soccer match in Brazil
See a rugby match in either Wales or New Zealand
Drink beer in Germany during Octoberfest
Go to a wedding in India (I've worked with so many nice people from there who've invited me to their weddings.)
Visit the cemetary at Normandy and walk the beach
See a kangaroo in Australia and drink real Cooper Brothers beer
Visit Abbey Road studios
Take a tour of the Western US to see Mount Rushmore, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and spend a week at a dude ranch
Tour the Civil War battlefields of Virginia

I'll try to think of others.

Rent a B-52 bomber and carpet bomb the hell out of Mt. Everest so it's not the highest mountain in the world anymore.

Someday, to visit the starting point of the rennaissance, Florence, Italy. Someday.

Watch Ko compete in his first MMA fight - and then watch him soundly beat his opponent.

These would be the biggees.

About 10 years ago I went to Amsterdam for an international sales conference. I stayed up for 48 hours straight the weekend before the conference. It was fun. Lots of dope. Lots of beer. No sex shows, though. I regret that.

I want to learn more about sailing. I can sail a small boat, but I still have more to learn before I can go sailing away. So, I wanna learn more so I can go sailing all over the place.

I want to write a critically acclaimed novel, a Pulitzer and/or Nobel winner.
I'm thinking I'd like to get CSCS certified.
I want to travel to England, Ireland, Scotland (I love castles) and Japan (love samurai) and Australia (I just love the accent).
I would like to orbit the earth a few times and exist in zero g for a day.
I would love to hook up with the DB2 lady on the 6th floor.

Travel to each continent

See the Montreal Canadiens win a few more Stanley Cups. See the Toronto Maple Leafs never win another Stanley Cup.

Own a new Ferrari.

Watch my son grow up to be successful in whatever it is that he choose's to do.

Be the best father and husband I can be.

Show my family things they would never get to see.

Take my in-laws and parents to places they never took me.

I want to visit Italy, Greece, Turkey(I'm a huge mythology fan) Mexico.

I want to travel Europe, Japan, South America and all over the states.
