Guy's "Bucket List"
Most people have heard of the term "bucket list" - more especially since the 2007 movie of the same title came out starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The "bucket list" is usually a written list of all the stuff we dream of doing in life before we face death. Like anyone, I have a lot of stuff that I wish to do and places that I want to see before the end of my earth journey. While my dream list is rather long, I have provided 35 of my wishes below and it is in no particular order. Also, take a look at what I've accomplished by clicking on the link above.
