I've done almost everything I ever wanted to - I've been lucky in that way, blessed if you want to look at it that way. The only four things I have left that I want to do are:
1. Finish publishing my book (due in May).
2. Atlantic crossing as the captain.
3. Go to Antarctica (I don't mind being a passenger on a cruise ship for that one.)
4. Travel more through Europe (I've only been to France.)
I've sailed from CA to Hawaii, Okinawa, Hong Kong, Singaopre, Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Quatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Kenya, Australia, Mexico. I've sailed up and down the East coast, West Coast to Alaska, and all along the Gulf Coast of the US, through the Caribbean, and down to Venezuela. I've lived in Costa Rica and I now work in Brasil.
I'm not the most traveled person in the world, but had I gone on a mission and been a TBM, I would have been a 40 year old, miserable, fat bastard, who would have never been anywhere and be living a shallow, closed minded life.
Oh yeah, #5. Fly on a private jet at least once.
