You had been to some very interesting places!
I have been to the everglades several times. You will love it! You must eat some clam chowder when you are there it will spoil you so bad you won't want it from anywhere else!
Hi John,
Thanks for completing the list. It is quite neat to see what others have done and haven't done thus far in their life. You will have to redo the list at the end of 2009 to see how many you can add to the list that you have done by then.
Strange that both of us have done only 37 of the list! :)
You have indeed been to some very interesting places in your time!
Wow ... that's an amazing list. We learned a lot about you through this list. Thanks for sharing!

It's scary how many things I HAVEN'T done in my life...great list!
Inge': Clam chowder? Sounds yummy. Thanks for the tip :) Will definitely give it a try.
Donna: Yes, it's a great list, to see what you had been missing out in life. I had exactly the same thought as yours regarding re-doing the list towards the end of 2009, and make plans to increase my score!
Small Footprints: Glad to share :) Please feel free to do the list too, for fun!
Ron: Hi Ron, welcome to my blog. Thanks for reading and commenting. I shall visit yours when I am more free. Have a great week!
