I wrote this list 2 years ago and the skydiving thing reminded me that I made this list in the first place. I went through and bolded the things that I can cross off and italicized things that are in progress or that I'm deleting. I can cross off more than I thought! Kinda cool.

Re:
no. 11. The Grand Canyon has mules, but no donkeys that I know of, and I'm not sure if they take you all the way to the bottom. You can go over a mile down and have lunch, though. I recommend. Very fun. Bring layers, because it's FREEZING there in the morning with no humidity. By the way, you should camp while you're there. Fever bugs. You could resurect 18. :)
44. Aren't you going to jump out of a helicoptor? (When my friends went it was a helicoptor.) I think it gets italics, if you are.
6. If my cousin who just got married is still working in the tourism industry in Honolulu, I might be able to hook you up for your surfing trip, and maybe the dolphins, as well! ;)
p.s. My security word to verify is chelispa. Is this a real word? If not...it should be. It's ridiculously fun to say. Now I have to go invent something, just so I can name it Chelispa.
Oh, ignore me about the helicoptor. I was combining two memories: One of my college buddies telling me all about skydiving, and one of Josh's Marine friends telling me all about skydiving. ;)
