Cast Your Vote to Complete My 40th Adventure To-Do List

As the suggestions have been rolling in, I have been able to spend time just plain laughing and enjoying the suggestions.  It has been fun to walk down memory lane with those of you who have sent in suggestions, comments or encouragements. 
You may vote for your favorite 3 suggestions and then the top 10 will make the cut!  The final list will be unveiled on my birthday - November 27!
I will definately need some connections for some of these but that is so a part of this challenge!!

Let the voting begin.....

Suggestions for the List
1.  Race a car around a race track!
2.  Attend the Kentucky Derby.
3.  Throw out the first pitch for the Cubs/Cards game (or any Cards game)
4.  Learn a new language -
5.  Snorkling a great reef in the Caribbean (complete with a wet suit and lots of sunscreen - you know me well).
6.  No camping!
7.  Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island, Michigan or another destination hotel weekend get-away.
8.  Run barefoot on a beach.
9.  Get a henna tattoo
10. Hang gliding
11. Take Irish dancing lessons
12. Be on the radio
13. Write a letter to the President
14. Pose for photographs like Jack Wettriano paintings "Dance Me to the End of Love" and "The Singing Butler."
15.  Ice Skate on a frozen lake
16. Attend a session of the Senate or House in DC
17. Take a winter swim in a body of water somewhere
18.  Attend a Seder meal

Sorry to those who suggested sky diving - as this would promote the need for an ear drum repair of my currently best ear drum so that one was edited from the list.

  5. Holly,
    I think you are such a fun person... Here are my thoughts....
    8---Let me know when, I might get an opportunity to run on a beach in August...
    11--You should learn Arabic
    15--I think this would be fun but a little scary.

  6. Don and I vote: #1-This seems so much like you!! You're always on the Go!
    #2 With a very big, but stylish hat!
    #16 because you are always politically aware and definitely not correct! :)

    We love you! Can't wait to see the outcome.

    PS Don says if number 1 doesn't win you can drive his Vette, but not around a race track!:)

  7. I didn't get a chance to email these to you in time for the list but I think you should do them:

    * Hitch-hike to Chicago
    * Fly a crop duster
    * Get arrested (preferably not for actually doing something arrest worthy)
    * Participate in a flash mob

    Numbers 17, 10, and 5 look great too
