Monaco for me as well. I also want to visit Iceland and grab pics of the aurora borealis. Fly 1st class to Europe or someplace distant. Visit Prague (very doable) and Italy.

I lived and worked in Germany in the mid-to-late 80's, so I did the autobahn before there were speed limits everywhere. Had a 633CSi, so the right car for the job. Flew a Cobra helicopter for a few hours in the early 80's when I was in the Air Cav. That was cool. Did the whole crotch rocket thing and owned a roadster. Check and check.

The biggest item on my bucket list now is to stay healthy long enough to enjoy retirement and travel a lot more.

Completed
Buy M car via ED
Autobahn
US Road Trip
Visited Yellowstone
Hunted elk in Colorado (which ended up being a whole lot more $$ than I expected)
Visit the Whitehouse and Capital
Various travel trips here and there but I wouldn't quite say "bucket list" worthy

I enjoy white water rafting so I've knocked a couple off my list
Rafted the Colorado
Rafted the Ocoee
Rafted the Chattooga - which I underestimated and was ejected out of the raft when we hit a rapid wrong and had to float almost half a mile before another crew scooped me up till my raft came by. I must've swallowed a gallon of water and pissed myself.
Rafted the Youghiogheny


To do:
Raft the upper and lower Gauley (i've had to postpone this shit twice already )
Raft the Futaleufu and/or the Franklin in Tasmania
Dubai
Fly first class to Australia
Oktoberfest
Cherry Blossom festival in Japan
REI Everest base camp expedition

That's really about it. Some of that shit is extreme and I'd rather go broke af now than die on a river when I'm old lol

Machu Pichu under a full moon. Travel plans all set for April, 2017. I've seen this vision of the Apus with the moon cresting their shoulder for more than 20 years.

LOL, I wish there was enough to tell for it's own thread. I played in the Tag Team Event this year and the daily deepstack tourneys every day that week. I cashed in 2 out of 9 tourneys, but no big money to write home about.

I'd love to play the main event, but $10k is a bit steep for me. I plan to go every year now and play one or two of the lower buy-in events and the daily deepstacks again. If I get a big cash I'll buy into the main, or perhaps try to satellite in.

I've done this man and it's fun. A few buddies and I went to Costa Rica and did a full day of fishing. It's wild and very physical to reel one of those bad boys in. They put up a huge fight. Depending on your charter and marina - we were able to catch a lot of Dorado to sell back to the Marina which then sells them to restaurants and locals. Was pretty damn cool. My recommendation is go with a solid charter, bring TONS of water and sunscreen. We were told not to bring too much alcohol because you dont want to be too drunk when reeling in a 150lb fish with a sword and razor sharp fin.
