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!

See the Grand Canyon - Completed 12/19/08










Over the holidays, my parents and I stayed in Flagstaff for a few nights and explored the area. We got to see the Grand Canyon with a light dusting of snow from the Southern Rim. It was beautiful! Next time, I need to come back in the springtime and do some hiking here. (Added to list: 11/22/05)

Try Parasailing - Completed 12/13/2008

I went to visit my parents in Thailand and spent a weekend at the beach. We decided to rent a boat and go out to Koh Lan, an island close to Pattaya, for the day. On the way we took a quick stop at a floating parasailing station. I climbed up on the platform and was immediately whisked into a harness, attached to a parasail, and one of the guys there said "run," so I ran! I really didn't need to, because the wind picked up very quickly and I went right up into the air. The flight was very quick...no more than 5 minutes...and then they gently dropped me back down on the platform. I was ready to land in the water, but they had this maneuver down to a science.

Check out the video to see what it was like:
