Scroll down and click on "50 things to do before you die." It's a slideshow.
And a 2 part poll: how many have you done, and if you could only do 5 more, what would they be?
I'm sure many responses to part 1 will induce envy.
This is so, so sad -- I've done 8. Some more than once, but still. (Swum with dolphins, whale watched, escaped to a paradise island, route 66, waterfall, roller coaster, disneyworld, gambled in vegas.)
If I could only do another 5, it would have to be Safari, Galapagos, Husky Sled, Great Barrier Reef, and, um, riding a motorcycle from the Great Wall of China to the Cresta Run in Switzerland with a stop to see tigers and polar bears along the way.
But I plan to do at least another 5 (if not those 5) within the next year.

I've done 13, if you play a little fast and loose with what it means to be a "cowboy." (I've worn the hat).
It's a good list, with great pictures. I note as an aside that the "rainforest" girl looks a bit like Jerri from Survivor.
My next five would be
1. Go into Space
2. Galapagos Islands
3. See a sunset at Uluru
4. Play golf at Augusta
5. See gorillas/tigers/orangutans/polar bears in the wild.
Funnily enough, it doesn't make my "next 5," but since I was about 16 and read about it, I've always talked about wanting to shoot the Cresta at St. Moritz. Perhaps next winter.
