The List: Swim with Dolphins or Manatees- Completed 2/4/10

Birthday List Beginnings

When I turned 30, I decided to make a list of 30 things that I had not done that I wanted to try to accomplish in my 30th year. After all, life is short, and I want to go out knowing that I truly LIVED the life that I had.

That year's amazing experiences, adventures, and fun times make me want to keep the list going. I've decided to use this blog space to document the adventures...and to update and add to the list each year.

To see what I've accomplished, click on the archive links on the right to go to specific items from the list in order of the date they were accomplished. New, partially accomplished, or not started items can be found under "November 2011," since I have the year to work on them.

Let me know what adventures you'd like to join me in! You can use the "comment" function to leave me notes. I hope I inspire you to create a list of your own...let me know and if you need someone to join you in your adventures. I'll probably be up for it!

Swim with Dolphins or Manatees- Completed 2/4/10

Marty and Steve Remis had gone swimming with Manatees in Florida, so invited me to join them for a return visit. The manatees are attracted to the warm water springs in the wintertime. So Jane Keir and I flew down to Tampa and rented a car (a convertible!)

then drove north to Crystal River, Florida. We visited the Homossasa Springs wildlife park and

learned all about the manatees and some other animals (Lou the hippo)

living there.
