Bucket List Updated

I did 7 more things on my list since I last looked at it! Although, that was in 2006... The new things are bold and italicized below.

I even travelled alone to Australia and New Zealand and drove on the "wrong" side of the road. I've become a beach bum, wear more skirts/dresses than pants/shorts, eat beets, played dodgeball, play ultimate frisbee, attempt disc golf, played at a water park, put myself in debt, drink whiskey and scotch neat (as opposed to gin and vodka), started aerial yoga, homebrewed beer, started drinking beer other than IPA, and heaps of other things. Rock climbing, I did again and got pretty decent but then had to stop when I moved back to Maui. Yes, the one thing on my "will never ever do in this lifetime" list, I did... I moved back home. It's okay and I'm starting to find a place for myself here on the island.

Anyway, here's the list I made years ago. Some things I could change but I'll do it at a later date. There is one thing on the list that I'll never check off, unfortunately. Oh well, life is just an adventure and not all of them turn out as expected. Just gotta go with the flow!

Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
