I’m a huge fan of the bucket list idea.  Actually, I’m a huge fan of lists in general.  I have my ‘everything to do before I’m thirty’ list, the ‘things Dan and I want to do together’ list, and of course my ultimate bucket list that acquires five more items for every one thing I actually accomplish.  And now, thanks to National Geographic (NG), I have my adventure bucket list.  NG compiled a list of the most extreme adventures out there. Some tasks include wingsuit flying off the Eiger and skiing K2.  Now to be completely honest, I’m about 99.9% sure I will never do anything on this list.  Lucky for me, NG also came up with the Next Best Adventure List.  While some of these items still look pretty daunting, a few might actually be doable.  I can already cross off

camel trek Morocco,

and Dan got airborne in Queenstown when he road-tripped through New Zealand.

Nevis Bungy Jump, Bucket List, A Cruising Couple

  Hike the Appalachian Trail also made the list, and though I’m not quite sure it counts, Dan and I knocked off four miles of it on a climbing trip one weekend.

  So in an effort to make progress on the Next Best Adventure List, Dan and I will be white water rafting.

Other items on the Next Best Adventure List that we definitely want to do: scuba diving with hammerheads.  Check out all the crazy stuff both lists have to offer for yourself. Maybe you’ll be inspired.  Just make sure you have good insurance first.
