Bucket List :: 100 things to do before I die..

UPDATE:: I am keeping this list current (as much as possible) and crossing things off as I do them! I will also start linking blog posts to the numbers!

I could really make a list of 100 places I just want to travel to.. AJ and I believe in spending more of our money on experiences rather than material things. We both agree we will die (hopefully at a very, very old age) still having a huge travel list. But we are going to do our best to experience all we can on this great big Earth!
