My List

I was reminded of my list when I read about Kirsty's Life List and decided I would one day share it on my blog. I was again reminded of this on Snippet & Ink last week. When I made mine I called it my Ultimate List. I was also obsessed with 'things to do' and 'places to see' books at the time as well so I can't take credit for some of the more imaginative ones (the more embarrassing or cheesy ones maybe!) I was a student at the time and now I look back and think how naive I still was even then!

[edit: OMG I just looked at it and I actually arranged it into sections - I even found another 2 ALPHABETISED lists (yes I am sad!) - Activities and Places! Where did I find the time!? Oh yeh, I hated studying, my flat was never cleaner (nor my lists more organised it seems) than at exam time!!]

I will be posting my list later today as a 'page' linked to from the top of the home page but here is a sneak peek - the other 2 lists I found...

The other 2 lists (seem to be more of a summary of my main list broken into activities and places)...

4-wheel driving, Abseiling, Body-Boarding, Bungy Jumping, Canoeing, Caving, Hang-gliding, Helicopter ride, Horse-riding, Hot Air Ballooning, Jet-skiing, Kayaking, Parasailing, Sailing, Scuba-Diving, Skiing, Skydiving, Snowboarding, Surfing, Swim with dolphins, Swim with Whales, Wakeboarding, Water-skiing, White-Water Rafting.

I think I might look out some of the photos I have of the things I have ticked off and post them on the blog, maybe one a week. :)

For now, here are some of me learning to surf in Byron Bay in 2004 when I travelled in Australia on my own for 7 weeks... :)
