My bucket-list

I saw this movie some time ago with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman talking about the things they want to do before they die (but they were much closer to death than I think I am :)

So, (not that I think I'm close to dying), I've still been thinking about things I absolutely want to see/do during this lifetime (not that I think there are more than one, but that's another story :)
Anyway, here goes:
I want to... (or should I say, I will do the following?)

see the world's oldest tree
participate in an event where there are more than 100 000 people present
see real live hummingbirds
see dolphins and hear them laugh (or whatever it is they do which sounds like it :)
drive a car with a Ferrari-like motor & sound & speed (Porsche, Maserati, etc will also do)
go para-gliding again
see northern lights somewhere above the Arctic Circle (I've seen them once in Helsinki)
attend/organize AND participate in a masquerade
see the sun set over the Pacific Ocean
see parrots in the jungle
learn to hammer nails without twisting them and /or hitting my thumb or any other finger
go white-water rafting
....
I do have other dreams/wishes/ intentions tugged away in my heart, but the above ones are the sort of do-able ones, mostly requiring organization of resources & some planning. My heart is hiding its more demanding dreams, and some of them still sleep...

I'm exited to think that I might be able to tick some of them maybe even this year... not that I have anything planned, but I do believe that if you do not aim at something, you'll inevitable end up somewhere else ;)

Reading my list, I so sound like an explorer-wanna-be ... but who knows, wishes just might come true :)

what is your bucket-list like?
