What a great list. I think I just may steal Tasha's bucket list idea one of these days too!
That's a fab list! Good luck with your 100 List too.
I think I share many of your 'would like to's - but I'm reconsidering my desire to go on cruises. I keep hearing of so many stomach bugs on cruise ships. It worries me so much it's enough to put me off going on one. But there is a short one we could take from the north coast of England to Norway. I'd love that!
I hope you achieve a lot of those 'want to's - it's funny, I think, once you put things like that down in black and white, they mysteriously start to happen...woooo!
