2. Ridden in a helicopter: Once, from Ontario (California) airport to LAX.
3. Gone ziplining: Oh, hell no.

24. Run out of gas: Yes, two or three times.
25. Been on TV: Yes, several times with the USC Marching Band (The Greatest Marching Band in the History of the Universe).

27. Seen a UFO: No.
28. Been bungie jumping: Not only no, but hell no.
29. Visited another continent: Yes, Australia and Europe. South America if you count Central America as being part of it.
30. Been to Ellis Island? No, but it's on my list.
Not bad, only seven noes. I expect three of those to stay that way.
What a cool cruise you had from Australia. And no, Central America is part of North America. You do need to visit NYC & Ellis Island.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's what I thought I remembered about Central America, but I figured it was worth a shot. :) And yes, it was a very cool cruise, aboard a Greek cruise ship. That's where my siblings and I learned to appreciate squid and octopus.
DeleteI think I have more no answers than you - my post will go up tomorrow morning. Your cruise visit to the Canal Zone when it was still separated from Panama must have been an interesting visit. I'm with you on the bungee jumping and zip lining!
ReplyDeleteJust going through the canal was interesting in and of itself, but yes, especially trying to explain it today that they used to be two different countries really confuses a lot of people! (Of course, more people should read history, shouldn't they?)
