Bucket List

A friend sent me a bucket list via email today. The idea was to tick off anything that you've done and then answer the questions and send it back to the person who sent it as well as send it forward to a bunch of people so they can get to know you better. I did it and then started to think about what actually would be on my bucket list.

So here goes....
1. Go on a trip to Peru
2. Go on a trip to Scotland and Cornwall
3. Bicycle around the loop of Chetwynd, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, and Hudson's Hope
