Things to do before I die

I've always been interested in peoples' "Things to do before I die" lists. I've given my own list thoughts from time to time, bet never actually sat down and made my own list before. It's a scary thing to do, because if I write something down and then don't do it, did I fail? On the other hand, I probably won't do everything unless I write it down and refer to it from time to time. Also, it will be a lot of fun to cross an item off my list once I do it. That will be a great feeling of accomplishment.

Things to do before I die

• Go on a hot air balloon ride
• Travel to another country with a lot of culture/history (like Spain) or that is completly different from the U.S. (like Japan)
• Play in a major poker tournament like WPT or WSOP
• Go on a cruise
• Perfect a signature dish (entree or desert) I want my family to say, "Mom makes the best _____ in the world".

Things that used to be on my list that I have already done

• Go to New York City - I've been there twice! I would like to go again in the winter time and skate at Rockefeller Center, see Central Park with snow, or see the Macy's parade live; but going to NYC is officially off my list.
• See Jerry Seinfeld in person - I saw him perform in San Antonio, it was awesome.

What are some things on your to do lists? I'm sure I will add to mine throughout the years. My instinct is to fill the list up with a million dream travel destinations, I LOVE to travel, but I have to exercise some self control here. I don't think it should just be about things I would do if I had all the time and money in the world at my disposal. It should be things that I can look back on when I'm old and gray and really smile about.
