The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams. - Oprah Winfrey
Due to some crazy technical difficulty in uploading my video slideshow to Youtube - I will not be posting our 1 year anniversary movie today. All hope is not lost - but these things take time I guess. So we'll just skip it for now.
We get lots of wonderful emails from fans and followers who look to us as inspiration to achieve their own dreams and goals, which I take as a pretty cool responsibility and a great honor. Within many of these emails, there is a lot of talk about "bucket lists". While I was sitting here quietly, sipping on my cup of tea I started thinking about the notion of a "bucket list" and what is left on mine. While I never had an official "list", I have always had goals and dreams, and both Scott and I are a couple of the lucky ones who have been able to turn those dreams into realities. Travelling the world, living other places, climbing mountains, achieving goals - you know - just making stuff happen for ourselves. Obviously, living and cruising on a sailboat was one of the biggies for both of us. But I am by no means finished.
Here are a few of the items still left on my bucket list:
- Learn how to surf. I'm thinking a few months living in a place like Costa Rica with the sole purpose of learning to surf should do the trick. Heck, maybe we'll do this when we start heading south again...
- Do an IronMan. Scott has done three. I've done a bunch of triathlons, and much to my surprise actually placed in most of them, probably because I trained with Scott and he's an incredible athlete. Scott thought I could go pro with the right training (but I knew better). Anyway - once I'm finished having babies, I'm going to train up for one of these.
- Travel someplace cool by RV. I think driving a RV across, say, Africa (I am particularly enamored with Ethiopia) or maybe around Mexico for a few months sounds like a lot of fun. If we can live in a boat, we most certainly could live in an RV for a time!
- Be on HGTV. I am obsessed with HGTV, I could watch it all day. I realize this is ironic for someone who lives on a boat without a t.v. But I am hell-bent on having them design a room in my future home one day. Just you wait!
What's on your bucket list?
Love,
Brittany & Scott

I think I would like to land an airplane on water. So I cancelled all Christmas wishlists that I had created, and now the new Plan is: all I want for the Holidays is 5 hrs of float plane instruction at a flight school in South Jersey. It took me about 40 hours of instruction to land on a runway, so how hard could it be to land on water?
Also, I would like learn to play flamenco guitar. That will take more time.
An interesting observation - your list is so short. From someone that is almost twice your ages, my list is much, much longer, even though I have done a lot.
My other comment is you said "done having babies" - plural. Sounds like a bigger boat is in your future...........Juan
Well Al - those are the "BIG goals at the moment" - obviously there are many more! But I didn't feel the need to ramble on and on and on....I think they're big enough to take up a nice chunk of time!
Surfing is definitely on our bucket list! We're also hoping to travel in an RV after our cruising chapter closes. I've also completed a few triathlons and I'll stop at that ... no Iron Man for me. Congrats to Scott for completing such a challenge!
I'd love to learn how to surf! Have you thought about putting your bucket list on Wanderable? I just found out about it a couple of days ago.
