Fun things… (I would like to do at some point)

This thought has come to mind several times in the past several days, that while I don't really want to do a 'bucket list' so to speak that it would be useful to have a list on my blog of some of the awesome things THAT I HAVEN'T DONE YET that I would like to do. Some will be ridiculously easy to do, some won't. Some will absolutely require company, some won't. But the common theme is that ideally I'd like company to do them (the who of the matter will depend on what precisely these things are, of course!). So in no particular order here are some of those things that I would really like to do with folks that I have not had the opportunity to do up until this point!

-Eat at The Melting Pot (Edmonton location) — it was one of my favorite Indianapolis restaurants, and I'd love to go to the Edmonton location, but I haven't yet (although I am on their mailing list).
-Go paragliding/hang gliding etc. (I adore heights!)
-Go ziplining in a non-Canadian rainforest (I blame the Amazing Race and similar shows on this desire of mine)
-Go white water rafting in the Western part of Canada (I've rafted the rapids of the La Chine Canal in Montreal, but I somehow don't think it's the same)
-Go to Corso32 in Edmonton
-Have an entire off the menu meal at 100 Bar and Kitchen
-Go to MRKT in Edmonton
-Visit Japan
-Circumnavigate the globe (okay so that's a little ambitious, but it would be pretty neat to do just the same!)
-Go to Normand's in Edmonton
-See all of the Cirque du Soleil shows (I've seen uh… 9 already, and have tickets to one more)
-Actually visit the Muttart Conservatory (I have no recollection of ever having done this)
-Actually go to Fort Edmonton in the summertime when all the interpreters are out (not just for a special event) and really see all that is offered by the experience!
-Have an honest-to-goodness spa vacation
-win a trip somewhere (not one of those fake 'wins' that cost you more than not winning, but an actual honest-to-goodness win! I am a contest entrant after all!)
-Visit the Jurassic Forest
-Visit the Devonian Botanical Gardens IN THE spring/summer when it is open (not just in the winter for luminaria or for a school trip, I want to actually see the garden aspects!)
-Swim at an outdoor pool in Edmonton (not at a swim meet as a child, but actually just pleasure swimming!)
-Go on an honest to goodness hike in the wilderness somewheres, perhaps even with that er camping thing… or the carrying of stuff on my back or something (not just a short day trip, though I do enjoy those too, but yeah).
-Take a trip on the Edmonton Queen
-Go stargaze at the UofA Observatory after dark and/or at the Telus World of Science
-Go geocaching
-Actually make it up a climbing wall
-Go do West Edmonton Mall's Ropes Quest (okay this REALLY interests me!!)
-I think it would be interesting to go to a strip club, more as a cultural experience than anything.
-Visit the Maritimes
-Visit a Concentration camp
-Visit all the United States and Canadian Provinces that I haven't yet visited
-Visit all the continents (yes Antarctica counts!)
-Go to Australia/New Zealand
-Go for a Gondola ride
-Hike up a mountain in Switzerland (a nice gentle mountain with cows, mind you!)
-Try frisbee golf (I suspect I would be really bad at it!)
-Watch cherry blossoms in Japan (the Japanese love it, so I'd like to see it for myself!)
-Visit a volcano
-Fly first class
-Walk the entire walkable length of The Great Wall of China
-Visit the Calgary Olympic Park (I hear you could try bobsledding? That would be awesome!)
-Actually spend long enough in Manhattan to really get to see/know the city
-Eat a meal at Zinc (in Edmonton)
-Stay at a Bed and Breakfast
-Have High Tea at Rutherford House
-Eat at a revolving restaurant
-Take a train trip across Canada
-Go to Carnival in Quebec
-Visit the John Walter Museum
-Likely much more!

Those are just a few things that I could think of off the spot. Some are obviously WAY easier to do than others, but they all interest me! I like good unique experiences, and yet often go do the tried and true… maybe after having posted this, people might help encourage some of these activities — of course some are far off dreams (and others are likely outside my price range in the short term) but the list includes a ton of stuff that I think would be fun!
