One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A couple of things I've done:
Hiked the jungles of Costa Rica.
Scuba in the Ulong Channel, Palau.
Sprinted across Uluru, Australia.
Soaked by Igazu falls, Argentina.
Explored the ruins of Angkor Wat, Cambodia.
Walked up the Great Wall of China.
Toured the Potala Palace, Tibet.
Climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.
Paraglided in St. Lary-Soulan, France.
Gondola ride in Venice, Italy.
In awe of the Pyramids, Egypt.
Experienced Petra, Jordan.
Tramped the Routeburn and Milford tracks, New Zealand.
And froze my @$$ off IN the waters of Antarctica.

but I think the highlight of the list is:
Being home last weekend. There's no place like home.
