100 Things to do before you grow up - Part 1

I cried today after watching the movie 'UP' although it was only a cartoon but it stabbed me deeply. The scene where Ellie the wife was dying and she handed over to Carl their adventure diary which they were waiting to do till they old but had never the chance to do it.

Where is my adventure diary? I don't have one. I have past the growing up stage but I have not done so many things that I wish I could have done. And having said that, we are never too late to do these things listed below... Let's try to accomplish our uncomplished list. The most important thing is to have some fun while doing it okay.
