The list simply gets longer... but one thing that should encourage you is that you have already accomplished twice as many things as normal people would do in a lifetime... and you are still young with new horizons to conquer and new pages to turn...
All I can say is that I did THREE of those you still need to do, ok, ok, I need another lifetime to catch up on the rest with you! Keep Going!!!!! X
Ok! I was in fact hoping to meet someone who also wanted to:
Abseil from a helicopter
