I've been everywhere, seen everything...
Alright, so #1 on my to-do list before I die is to visit every continent. To date, I've been to Mexico and Europe. Yeah, I said Mexico, because I don't consider travelling within the US as "visiting" the continent. That leaves, uh, let's see if I can remember my geometry correctly: Asia, Australia, Afrika, South America, and Antarctica. I have decided that after my whirlwind tour of Deutschland next summer with my brother to watch the World Cup for a month, I'm off to Antarctica. Of the 5 remaining continents, this one appeals to me the most because it is such a challenge. It's an out-of-the-way destination that very few people destine to go, or even want to go. Maybe that's the appeal. How many people do I know that can say they've been to Antarctica? NONE...that's the beauty of it! I'll be going to a place to see things first-hand that hardly anyone else has seen up-close and personal. No more seeing it in movies or on the news, I'm going to experience it live. I've been taking a look around, and Abercrombie and Kent seems like the perfect company to take me there. I've reviewed their website MANY times, read everything they have to offer and realized that if I'm going to make such a huge commitment (both time and money) to make this trip happen, I might as well go with the people who appear to be experts. Some day soon I will be able to mark yet another thing off my to-do list, and I'll take pictures as proof I WAS THERE.
Anyone else have such a "to-do" list? If so (or not), what would be included on your list?

That's all I have so far. I don't have the goal of going to all the continents but I'm in for the Antarctica trip.

I hope you wrote "geometry" and "Afrika" like that on purpose! I'm a total grammar nazi!
I've been to Asia, Europe, and North America (including Mexico). I've also been to the Virgin Islands and Bahamas, which I don't know what they count as.
Here are some things I want to do, in no particular order:
Run the Chicago Marathon - hopefully October 2006
Go back to visit Syria
Become fluent in French, so I can be tri-lingual, actually, quad-ligual
Live in Europe

Those are both some pretty good lists with plenty of tough things on them. Good luck!
