I’m 24 myself, but my Bucket List is made up of 65 items so far. One of the ones I want to complete soon is the skydive, it’s something I’ve wanted to do for ages and will hopefully get to do it for my 25th birthday next year!

Good luck with the items on your list.
Best wishes,
Darren

Being 13 years older, my list is a bit more developed
Several things – not all – and in no particular order.

First. The obvious ones.
Pay for and attend three weddings.
Meet all of my grandchildren.

And others.
Do standup comedy at an open mic night.
Run a marathon (hopefully delaying the deadline to complete the list).
Visit Baseball Hall of Fame.
Throw out a first pitch of an MLB game.
Visit another continent.
Take my family on a Disney World vacation.
Go on a cruise – preferably Alaskan w/ whale watching.
Work entirely online.

There’s more but those are the ones that jump to mind.

Update -

Well last night was some bad decisions haha. After our nap/rest we
went out for dinner and ended up at a pizza joint. I don’t remember
the name if it, buy I took a picture of one of the restaurant signs.
The food was alright, not the best. Everyone seemed to enjoy the
low-key meal (pizza and wine). The restaurant featured a classical
guitarist, which I was not a fan of. Nothing against him, but I just
don’t like people walking into a restaurant to play for people, play
so loud that you can’t hear the conversation at your own table, and
then expect tips. Ugh. Oh well.

After dinner, we went back to the hostel and enjoyed some happy hour
drinks and made some friends at the bar. After that we headed out to a
few local clubs to experience the Peruvian night life. What an
interesting experience!

Update – 7:32am

I’ve made it to Cuzco! Since I was the first one to land in the city,
I had some time to kill so I thought I’d provide an update. The
airport here reminds me of a smaller version of the Puerto Vallarta
airport, lots of salespeople trying to scam you… I mean, “hook you
up.” I haven’t left baggage claim yet but I can see the shark tank
just waiting to bite. Luckily, we have a shuttle already scheduled.
I’m surprisingly awake right now, which I suppose is from sleeping the
entire plane ride into Cuzco (55 min). The water here isn’t drinkable
(so they say) but I did risk it and brushed my teeth in the airport
restroom. I haven’t gotten sick – yet – but I’ll keep you posted.

Whit should be arriving soon, so time to go. Hasta la vista!

Yow. Talk about a dentist appointment from hell. I’m overdue to see the dentist myself, and I was already a little leery of Lovett Dental from the awkward-looking logo of theirs. I’m glad I stayed away.

I found your blog through the EdTech site and thanks for the tip (and chuckle). Now that I’m employed (finally), I need to find a dentist.

Matt –

How I wish i could be in two places at one time. The thought of you getting your masters was nothing I ever envisioned, but here you are and I’m not. My heart and soul are with you on this day!. You know I mean that with everything I have.
Dad

Thanks, Daniel. I appreciate the thoughts. You’re a great friend and colleague, even at a 1800-mile distance.

Sorry to hear this about your grandpa, Matt. I know the pain you feel is real. What is awesome is that you’re able to keep the memories of times spent with him with you.

Thinking of you and your family.
