Skydiving! Did you blog about it?! It’s the most amaaaaazing experience.

Love the Bucket List. My Now Husband was born in Istalbul. I’ve been to Turkey twice now and we are going back in October. It is astonishingly beautiful, the people are wonderful, the history is overwhelming. I’ve also been to a sweat lodge, conducted by two Native American elders. That was a less-than-optimal experience (too many people packed into the sweat). I’m going to add a Bucket List on my blog. You have inspired me.

Hi Linda –
I need to catch up with you…actually I had a trip to Turkey and five Scandinavian countries planned back in June, but cancelled because my mother was ill. She passed away in June. Anyway, it’s still on the list. You sound really positive…that’s great! I’ll be gone on two back to back trips starting this morning until mid-August. Hope to talk with you then! Have a great summer! ~Sherry~
