3. Use ‘different’ types of transport such as tuk tuk and sea planes etc.

7. Swim with wild dolphins
8. Visit the plane graveyard

25. Stay in a tree house
26. Visit an active temple – June 2010 and I went to Uluwatu Temple, Bali for one of the biggest ceremonies I’ve ever seen. Whilst I wasn’t allowed in the ‘sacred’ part, the atmosphere and views from the coastal temple were enough for me! =)
27. Snorkel or dive the Great Barrier Reef
28. Go on a cruise
29. Go storm chasing and see a tornado
38. Stay on a canal Boat
39. Cage Dive - I’ll be doing this, hopefully, at the beginning of September 2011 =) I’ve already swam with quite a few such as Reef and Leopard but I want the ‘Daddy of all daddies’, the Great White. Why? Because they scare the crap out of me! Dive that water, come face to face with your fear and sound out a bubble scream baby!
40. Write a book – in the process of doing this already =)
41. Visit a huge waterfall - Will be visiting Victoria Falls later this year! woohoo!

44. Spend one night in an expensive hotel with a difference

56. Run a marathon – ok so technically it was a half a marathon I did but hell, it’s still got the word ‘marathon’ in the title; so it counts right? 13 miles along my local coast line at 9pm July 2009. It was great fun and I came within the first 50! Word to the wise though; don’t do this and then go to Paris 5 days later; your feet will NOT forgive you!
57. Do the tour of Home and Away (yes the soap) – that place looks uber cool!
58. Hold a snake – pretty sure we had one as a pet in nursery when I was 3 but I can tick this off thanks to finding a ‘baby Boa boy’ in the Dominican Republic
