#196 Take a Train Ride on the Orient Express
Nina never got to ride the Orient Express, but I’m sure someone who will read this has. What was it like? Is it as grand as people say?
Once in your life
#120 Go on a Safari
Nina never went on a safari…even though she went just about everywhere else! How about you? Ever been on an African safari?
#122 Swim With Sharks
Nina never marked “swim with sharks” off her list. Not sure I would want to!
What about you? Ever been in the cage while sharks are around? Or even more terrifying, without a cage while sharks are in the vicinity?
#147 Learn to Tango in Buenos Aires
Why learn the Tango at the local community college when you could go to Buenos Aires and learn at the source? At least that’s how it ended up on Nina’s List. Have you ever taken the effort to learn how to dance a specific way? Was it for a certain event or was it just because you wanted to learn?
#039 Have my portrait painted
Nina never got the opportunity to check this one off her list. Have you ever had a portrait of yourself (or anyone else) commissioned?
#195 Climb Mount Olympus
We’re not entirely sure if this item refers to Mount Olympus in Washington state, or the “original” one in Greece. What about you? Ever scaled either one?
#208 Journey north of the Artic Circle around the Summer Solstice
… and spend a night watching the sun circle above the horizon
Nina never marked a night like this off her list. Have you ever traveled someplace to watch a celestial event?
#040 Be an extra in a film
Nina never got to be an extra in a movie. What about you? Ever gotten your debut role as “Bystander Number Three?”
#362 Visit the Summer Palace
Sandy and Nina visited this wonderful place. How magnificent! Does this item go to the top of your list? For many of us, seeing this palace would be a dream come true…
If you aren’t familiar with the Summer Palace, read more about it here. Maybe it will make your list, too!
