Man I better stop writing this list and get to work on earning enough money so I can do the things on this list.
Go to Cuba and fish the same area that Hemingway used to inspire, "The old man and the sea". Catch a nice fish and cook it up Cuban style with rice and beans and tostones on the side. Watch the sun set on the beach while smoking a great Cuban cigar, drinking a mojito, with my wife by my side.
- Visit the Baseball Hall of Fame (coming soon) - Clean my room (coming soon) - Never have children - Buy a new computer and new camera - Compete in Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest - Run a muck

Learn to surf. At Noordhoek Beach. Or Wailea.
Dinner at the French Laundry. If Tom Keller is in the kitchen. Per Se would be acceptable in lieu of the French Laundry. So would Masa.
Ride a custom chopper from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas with Kid Rock and Jesse James.
And while I'm in Mexico, I wanna spend a couple of weeks there with Rick Bayless. Eating/drinking/smoking whatever he does.
I would've said the Appalachian Trail, but CrazyPoet beat me to it.
A luxury riverboat from Cairo to Luxor. Or Chongqing to Nanjing. Or Kiev to Odessa. Pick one.
Spend a couple of nights at the South Pole. Inside. At the NSF's South Pole station.
Go on tour with Jimmy Buffet. Or Bruce. Just for a couple of weeks.
