I greatly admire your To Do list, mine is very similar. I wish you the best in accomplishing all of this
Thankyou, its perhaps a little ambitious, but gives me something to work for. Good luck with yours, too
Go for it! I love the thought that’s gone into it. Wish you all the best. It’s always best to stretch a bit.
Thanks very much! I will definitely do my best to complete them all.
We’ll be doing about 1/4 of them!
Viking way and America I’d do with you? I was planning on America next year anyway :) a bunch of us in an old minivan? :P
Hardly a quarter, but a good few! :)
Definitely, sounds good to me! Next year or the year after would be good :P
That is one inspirational list! I wish you all the best :)
I forgot to mention – you might want to give Timbuctu a miss until the country’s political situation has been sorted out… I went some years ago – and count myself very lucky to have done so without incident at the time – but wouldn’t dare to return…
Thank you :)
Thanks for the advice; I definitely wouldn’t dare go at the moment with that coup! That’s low priority on the list though, so perhaps things will have stabilised by the time everything else is done.
Thanks for commenting!
That is a great to do list! You have some really great and challenging things to do on that list – good luck!
Thank you, I’m looking forward to completing all of them one day. Thanks for your support!
Aah I love it. I’m currently working on my To Do list – so many places, so little time! Just reading about the possibilities makes me restless and ready to go anywhere.
I look forward to your posts checking off this list.
This is really brilliant, I should make a list like this myself :) all the best in completing it!
Perhaps you should, it gives you some focus. Thank you! :)
