Photography is one of my passions, so high on my list is a trip around the world to photograph some of it's most interesting sights the geisha in Kyoto, the coral reefs surrounding Bora Bora, the Acropolis, Morocco, the Galapagos Islands, the Northern Lights. And that's just for starter. The longer the trip the better.
I play guitar and sing, but I've always wanted to play the piano. Someday, I'd like to find the time to study piano so I could sit down and play Fur Elise and As Time Goes By.
Skydiving, scuba diving, hang gliding and bungee jumping were a blast. The next step is breaking the sound barrier in a jet.
Breaking the sound barrier would be just basic training for a trip into outer space. Natrually, I'd bring several still and video cameras with enough memory chips to last several light years.
Having traveled the earth and outer space, I'd next like to take a submarine to the ocean's floor and see up close the prehistoric marine life most people only see on PBS nature specials.
America's original transcontinental highway Route 66 has always held a strange fascination. I'd like to drive Route 66 from end to end and back the westward trip in a Hummer, the return trip in a Porsche.
I'd love to spend the month of December, and of course the Christmas Holiday Season, in the English countryside at a rustic farmhouse, surrounded by family and friends. Naturally, there would be a white Christmas and plenty of wine and spirits.
Somewhere in the world there is a serene, pristine and beautiful place where I want to escape for a month a year or maybe even the rest of my life with the woman I love giving ourselves totally to one another and making each of our fantasies come true.
Using one of my God-given talents to help make the world a better place in some measurable way is the first thing I want to do during my lifetime. It doesn't have to be big or memorable. Just something I can look back at and say "I made a difference".
Finally, at the moment I leave this world, I want everyone I love to know how much I really love them and those I didn't love to know that I tried. I also hope that in some small way that my passing could provide life to another.
