Live Your Bucket List

Live your Bucket List!! Things I have done (in no particular order) God is good!! More to do!! I rode horses for years. We owned around 16 at the peak of our horse days. I was thrown more times than I want to count. “Get back in the saddle” my sister Vicki would say. I was a Cheerleader in High School. Nuf said :-) Married my best friend!! (Flavius) Had a child...only one...that was plenty. (Brandon). Been white water rafting several times including Snake River in Colorado and the Ocoee the year after the olympics was there. Climbed Dunn’s River Falls in Jamica. Visited Niagara Fall’s, and rode the Maid of the Mist. ( I have a thing for water falls). Climbed to the top of the Pyramid in Chichin Itza. Climbed to the top of the Statue of Liberty in New York, once when I was 10 with my mom and again years later with my son when he was 10. My mom was there too. She was such a trooper. Drove for four hours in torrential rain in an open jeep in the Yucatan with Flavius, Brandon and Chris Sears. Had on a Blue Tie-dyed t-shirt I bought in Cancun...It faded and ran all over me and I looked like a smurf!! Driven highway one from Los Angeles to San Francisco twice. Stopping both times at a favorite hideaway called Morro Bay. Driven the famous road to Hana. Not exactly a favorite. I have run through more airports than I care to count. ...really literally running like O.J. Hiked into the Grand Canyon, over the Great Sand Dunes and all through Yellow Stone and Yosemite. Hiked around one of the world’s most active Volcanos, Kilauea. Walked the Wall in Dubrovnick. Ice Skated at Rockefeller center. Had lunch at the Russian Tea room and Tavern on the Green and dinner at Carnegie Deli. Viewed Manhattan from the top of the World Trade Center and the Empire State Building. Visited the Eiffel Tower, The leaning Tower of Pisa and Trump World Tower. Was invited to a private lunch with an intimate group hosted by Donald Trump. Met Mr. Trump plus an amazing group of entrepreneurs including Cameron Johnson. Traveled by Private Jet ...several times on different private jets. I used to pilot single engine planes...over 30 years ago. That was fun. Did some public speaking. Spoken to large groups at conventions including the largest crowd of 18,000. And they say public speaking is more feared than death. Crossed the English Channel, Traveled by canoe on Blue River, by bus through the Swiss Alps, by cruise ship through the Molokai Straight, by gondola in Venice and by train through the South of France by hydrofoil to Capri, by monorail in Disney by private jet to Abaco island. Shopped for Fur and leather in Rhodes, and jewelry on the greek island of Mykonos. Sold shoes on Ebay...I’m talking 1,000’s of pairs of shoes to folks all around the world. Took pictures at sunrise in Monument Valley and on the beach in Hawaii. Owned a Racquetball Club and became pretty okay at racquetball. Owned three travel agencies and traveled a little :-) Became a grandma...twice. Watched my daughter-in-law give birth to my first grandson. Been on more than 30 cruises. Spent our 30th anniversary at the One and Only Pamilla in Cabo, Private Dinner at Toto Santos and shopping at Hotel California. Snow skied in Vail, Beaver Creek and Taos. Enjoyed clam chowder in a bread bowl in Fishermans Wharf, gelaoto at the Trivi Fountain, cappuccino in Portifino, and lunch on the beach in Barcelona. Been to almost every major island in the Caribbean. Rafted down an underground river in a cave in Mexico. Snorkeled and swam with Stingrays. Watched the sharks on the trading floor at the New York Stock Exchange. Sledded down a hill on an inner tube with both grandsons on my lap. Had dinner in the largest personal residence west of the Mississippi, 62,000 square feet. But the best is yet to come!!!
