What do you want to see/experience/accomplish in your lifetime?

 

[tyty333]

To make it to Europe. I'm upper 40s and havent made it YET! DH doesnt like to travel...I have a 6 and 9 year old and
the way the world is going, traveling over there makes me kind of nervous but come hell or high water I'm going to get
there before I die! Sure wish I had gone when I was younger .

 

[taovandel]

Hmmm, I'm probably one of the few people who hasn't actually really thought too much about this. Just off the top of head, I'll probably have to revisit this thread.



Travel to Fiji
Take my kids to Disneyworld
Swim with Dolphins
Buy a house

I feel like I got to experience so many cool things when I was younger like performing in a Super Bowl halftime show, being on a tv show (just as background, but still cool to see how it works behind the scenes), traveled the US extensively, etc. but now that I'm an adult and have real responsibilities, I don't really take the time/make an effort to focus on life experiences as much. So I'm trying to think of all those things I would like to experience...

-Run a half marathon (if/when I make it to that point, I will bump it up to a full, but I want to be realistic)
-Finish my master's degree.
-Visit the remainder of states I have yet to see. I've been to 30+, but would like to visit each and every state in the US
-Travel to Europe. I will wait until my children are older so they can go with us and remember the experience.
-Buy a condo at the beach so I can spend my mornings walking on the beach with my husband when we retire.
-Be healthy enough to see my children grow up, get married and have children of their own (if they so choose).

[Jennifer W]

I don't know yet! I'm a fairly impulsive person and I don't tend to make long term plans. My dreams are more... immediate, I guess.

I've done many of the things I wanted to do, just happy to take it as it comes now, and grab fun opportunities when they appear.

I want to write a children's book. I'm always listening to stories my child comes up with and they give me lots of ideas and inspiration...

[zoebartlett]

I'd love to take a few tropical vacations, and at the top of the tropical locales I want to visit is Hawaii. I'd also love to travel more in general: go to Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland again, and many other places.

I want to buy a home someday, but I have to admit, condo living is pretty great too since we don't have to worry about lawn maintenance. Hmmm...I'll have to think about that.

I'd love to buy a home on the beach or on a lake. No lawn maintenance required there!

DF if you go to Belize you can see mayan ruins AND hold a blue morpheus butterfly. We did both on our honeymoon. The resort we stayed in in the rain forest actually had little b-fly houses in each of the rooms and we got to live with and see a BM hatch while we were there.

The resort is called Chaa Creek. http://www.chaacreek.com/ It's an eco-resort in the Cayo district of Belize. There are local mayan ruins, but it's also relatively close to some of the larger settlements. They have a high-end option with rooms/cottages and then they also offer an option where you can camp in a cabin. It's not near the ocean but they have a great pool, nature trails, bike paths and a spa.
