The snow tubing in Alta, Wyoming was not that exciting looking. If I had done it, I would have missed skiing and missed the hot tub that night both of which were cooler than the snow tubing option. My husband gave me a flight lesson for my birthday so I’m adding that since I still have to actually go and TAKE the lesson.

Number 6 is out. I looked into it and it doesn’t actually seem like a place that I really want to go badly enough for it to make the list.

So, replacing number 6 with – Host a (holiday maybe?) mountain getaway for any of my friends who want to join me – research warm options for this

6. spend the night on Cumberland island, GA (is this allowed?)
