It occurs to me as I study the 450 so-far-not accomplished things on my list that I’d better start prioritizing and making a plan. So here is my current top eleven, and how long I think each will take.

1. Hot air balloon over the Serengeti – 1 day
2. Spend the night in an over-water hut in Tahiti – 1 day
3. Africa trip – Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Madagascar – 3-6 months
4. Become a true minimalist – no more than 100 possessions. A steady process. I hope to be done winnowing in a few months.
5. Study yoga at an ashram – 3 months
6. Go hang gliding somewhere spectacular – 1 day
7. Explore the wine districts of France – 1 month
8. White-water raft the Zambezi – 1 week
9. Study meditation in a monastery – 3 months
10. Explore the rest of the Caribbean – 3-6 months
11. Explore the rest of Australia – 3-6 months
