Visit Salar de Uyuni and do one of those crazy Jeep trips with a group of random people from all around the world during the rainy season. (I have mentioned this many a time.) If I get married, I would not mind if that were the honeymoon.    Go backpacking through the Adirondacks, and I would not mind (pipe dream) living in a house in a remote location either there or Alaska or northern Maine. There are very few places in which I would even consider owning a permanent home, given my tendency already to constantly want something new; those are three of them. There would have to be a whole lot of beauty to keep me somewhere permanently; I was spoiled until I was eleven by living where I did, though at least now I know that I wouldnt mind staying in one place if that great, great beauty and peace were present. Otherwise, let me rent.   Visit the White Mountain Fort Apache reservation in Arizona and say hey to the kids in Cibecue again. I want to see how they're all doing. They were all little kids the last time I saw them; now they're adolescents and teenagers.  Get out of student loan debt.  Go on a cross-country road trip and back again.  But, more than all of those things, I really just want to be a mother. More than anything else, I just want to have children and raise them. I don't particularly care if I never accomplish anything on this list, short as it may be, but I would certainly care if I never accomplished that goal. I don't care if I get married or not, though I will likely wait till I am at least in my mid-30's before going for it without a husband. I only want one or two biological children; the rest, and I don't know how many I would want, I am going to adopt out of the foster care system. That is something I've wanted to do ever since I was ten years old, and the desire has yet to waver in intensity. Older kids, primarily, too... Once they hit the age of seven, nobody wants them anymore, and if they're older than ten, there is almost a zero percent chance of adoption. Wouldn't mind a sibling group, either... Also, if every American who says on surveys that they think about adopting domestically actually did, and did so out of the foster care system, there wouldn't be any kids left in the foster care system that are eligible for adoption. Anyway, I know that that is my purpose, above anything vocational. I would do anything for my children, who are not even born yet. That's my real goal, right there. I already do a lot of research on how to best care in all different kinds of situations (single children, for example, will likely want a LOT of privacy at first, while sibling groups tend to want to sleep in the same room and will typically prefer to share a bed as well because all they've had is each other, etc. etc. all that... though children in general like to sleep with other people... lol whatever), though I know that will be all for nothing when I actually have children on my doorstep a decade and a half or two decades from now.

Travel to the Galapagos Islands to see first-hand the critters that Charles Darwin says cannot possibly have migrated there. They must have mutated to adapt to their surroundings. This fascinates me. I also want to dive the waters there. I want to see a Galapagos tortoise:

Not in the Galapagos, but when I was visiting my brother in Cape Verde. Cape Verde is a chain of islands in the Atlantic off the western coast of Africa. It is a sea turtle haven. IN ADDITION, Darwin went there as well in his voyages on the ship whose name escapes me right now. The Beagle? |

Stu, the first and third items on your list intrigue me. I, too, want to appear on Jeopardy! once before I die - I've been a huge fan since, get this, I was 8. |

Phil, I've actually taken the online test twice, and gone in person to a contestant search here in Oregon last year. I made the 2nd round of the contestant search, but alas, no dice. I'm determined to make it happen. I too, have been a huge fan since early in life. |

I just want to travel and see the world. I would love to go to India. My cousin lives in Bangalore and I'm hoping to stay with her some time. I want to go to Europe, especially France (Paris, Versailles, South of France), Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain (Madrid, Bilbao). Japan is another place I've always wanted to visit. Aside from traveling, I've always wanted to be multilingual. I want to speak an interesting language like Japanese, Arabic, or Hindi. |

When I was little, my mother worked 7:00-11:00 in the mornings, and she would get us up at 5:30 to take us to various places to be watched until either she got out of work or my father came by at 8:00 to pick us up, on mornings after nights that he worked. Because of that, my brothers would always have a 7:30 bedtime. But me? I was always allowed to stay up until 8:00 because I loved Jeopardy so much. I just asked my mother when I started watching Jeopardy (she's in the room with me) and she told me I was three.  Love that show so much.
