100 to see/do before I die.
Updated again (Feb 2016)
Many years ago I compiled my list of 100 places to see and things to do. I thought it would be nice to update the list a bit and see if I am working towards accomplishing my goals. On the other hand it could be interesting to see how my list of wants has changed. We have traveled a quite a bit the last six years. We have seen many new countries, cities and many changes have happened in our lives.
I know that Singapore and Vienna are near the top of my list, Iceland is on the top of Art's. Less than 30 on our list. We'll have to think of more :-)
1 Coral Reefs of Australia. I think we get partial credit for going to Australia but we went inland instead of to the reefs...
2 White sand beaches of New Zealand. Spectacular place. Best time was hiking on a volcano island off of Auckland.
