… To Do Before 30 Is Over.

Yeah, yeah, I know the concept of a 30 Before 30 list is as well worn as a well worn thing, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have things to finish before 31 hits.

Why Before 31?

Because I didn’t start this list formally until three months before my 30th birthday and given current situations, finishing a list of thirty things was not going to be possible in that time. Some of the things on this list also coincide with a mental list of “Things to do Before I Move Away From Florida” since that will also be happening (hopefully before I’m 30, not 31).

The List (in no particular order):

1. Swim with manatees
2. See the Florida Keys
3. Go to Paris
4. Lose money in Vegas
5. See the Grand Canyon
6. See a show at The Globe
