The Bucket List

I've always been a list-maker. I am always writing down what I need to buy, where I need to go, what I need to do for that day, week, month, or year. The mother of all my lists would be the Bucket List. It's something that I've had since high school and I've added to it over the years and will continue to do so. Mostly all of it relates to traveling (can you tell I love to travel), some are pretty significant, and some are miniscule in comparison, but they all mean something to me.
