Something else I have often thought about, but haven't yet done: I'd like to write and publish a novel.

I'd like to visit New Guinea (esp.Irian Jaya) to the places where they are discovering new species of everything, and the animals have never seen humans.
Also ,discover a new species of orchid and name it.
And write a great book.
There!

Then you are welcome to Sri Lanka ! At any time. Almost every day here we get 12 hours sun light and no no snow. And of course sea breeze .At the same time if you feel home sick our up country is here. To cool you!
More orchids there.

There is are so many things that I want to do and haven't.

1) Go to Europe and see the tulips in the Netherlands, France to see the Eiffel Tower, Venice to see the canals, Italy to EAT. All over Europe really.
2) See more of the USA.
3) Africa to go on a safari.
4) Own a Ferrari F355 Spider in Black.
5) Learn another language.
6) Quit my job and become a photographer.

This is all I can think of right now.

This doesn't include my childhood dream of being a scientist. I was going to find the cure for AIDS.

HA! Give me another decade or two (at least) to live a little before I even try to answer this question! For now, I could make a list at least 5 pages long of all the things I'd like to do and haven't done yet. Let me see, I'd start with just about everything that's been said previously!

Travel the world .. possible and probable
Swim with wild dolphins .. possible and probable
Sky dive with my 83 yr young Mom - possible and probable
( She sky dove at 74 years young - next year will be her 10 yr anniversary)
Hang with people that are now deceased .. Impossible and improbable in this lifetime (guess I'll just have to wait til the time comes)
