Number 37

Visit Prague
Old Town, Prague

Major Hollywood movies set in Prague include Mission Impossible and XXX (The Vin Diesel movie, you sicko).

Number 32

Climb Mount Everestclimbing mount everest
That's right! You could join the ranks of only a few human beings to ever climb the planet's tallest mountain. You'll endure below-freezing temperatures and heavy packs for days on end, but when you reach the top, the view will be worth it! (Even though similar views are possible from smaller mountains.) If you make it up alive, the return journey will be even more harrowing, with your exhaustion increasing by the day.

Bonus Points: Do it all without an oxygen tank!

#25

Swim Across The Mississippi River
Swim across a river mississippi
This is definitely dangerous, and may be considered illegal in some areas. Hardcore swimmers only, please. As you make your swim, be sure to look out for boats, snakes, and other lunatics in the water.

Bonus Points: Don't use any sort of floatation device

Numba Seventeen

Learn to Scuba Dive
Cough up the cash. It's not cheap.... but it’s an experience that you’ll remember for the rest of your life! Just like viewing pictures isn’t enough to say you visited another country; watching the Discovery Channel is nothing compared to seeing the underwater world for yourself (while breathing).

Just don't feed the fish. And watch out for things with large teeth and/or stingers.

#16

Go to Disney World or Disney Land
disney land or world
Relive your childhood with the best theme park out there. Rides, food (make sure you do the rides first or the food may put a damper on all the happiness floating around this place), life-size versions of your favorite Disney characters, shows with special effects exciting enough to burn your eyebrows off or so touching that you’ll have to watch the fireworks through tears...

Aww. I want to cry now.

Number 15

Visit at least 5 foreign countries not including Canada. (Sorry, Canada)
crying Canadian flag
Studies show that well-traveled people are more cultured. And have more to talk about. Canada doesn't count because after going there, you still have nothing to talk about or interesting to say.

Get out there and join the rest of us cultured people! We’re probably the ones with tropical shirts, cameras around our necks, and highly attractive socks with sandals. Don't you want to be like we are?

Note: Number 15 is filed under DANGEROUS because of the potential countries you could visit

Number 14

See A Broadway Show
Broadway Cats Who in their right mind could pass up seeing CATS? People dressed up in feline-print tights singing at the top of their lungs? Or the spooky twist on the pre-Dorothy Wizard of Oz - Wicked. Head to NYC and check one out.

Number 12

Travel Into Space
Travel Into Space Virgin
While not possible for NORMAL (i.e. non-rich) civilians at this point, before long it will be possibel to take a commercial flight INTO SPACE. Don't believe us? Check out Virgin's new service: Virgin Galctic. Whoa.

The Big 1-0 (Ten)

Vacation in Hawaii
Hawaii Islands
Travel to the beautiful islands, say Aloha, wear a grass skirt (regardless of gender...) and drink some sort of pina colada beverage. Just look out for Polar Bears and any occurrence of 4 8 15 16 42.

Bonus Points: Take Grandma

Number 7...

Travel to Japan
Tokyo at Night
Whether you're a fan of the latest technology, anime, or beautiful, lush landscapes (outside of Tokyo, of course), traveling to Japan definitely makes our list. Start saving for that plane ticket!

Numero Four

See The Grand Canyon


Oh, and by the way, looking down over Arizona from an airplane doesn’t count. Go help out the Hualapai Tribe and gain an amazing view of the Canyon from their multi-million dollar glass-paneled viewing platform – The Skywalk

Just don't jump.


Please?

Number 2

Go on a Royal Caribbean Cruise


Head down to Miami and catch a cruise liner and sail around the beautiful Caribbean-- Royal Caribbean boasts an array of 21 ships in service and two under construction.
