I LOVE your goals! I was with you nearly 2 years ago when I did part of that Pacific coast drive!
Hot Air Ballooning! I attempted it 3 times in Orlando with fellow DB pal, Pearl. We had to get up at 5 each day. And each time the weather was not suitable and the balloon did not go up! Then Josh tried to book it as a birthday surprise for me during our California trip. (when I met Survial Goddess with him). It would fly over Napa! But that was when the flooding was happening so he took me to Carmel instead. I will look into your suggestion. I am thinking that a trip to Sonoma needs to be on my list.
So you got to see Devo! WAY COOL! I remember teaching a routine to "Whip It" a few years back. One of my best works. Yep - they rock!
I, too, have always wanted to write a book. The "Lemonade" series (seriously). About overcoming life's most difficult upheavels. Like Ryan and Chuck.
And I'd love to visit Ireland. Especially since I saw "P.S. I Love You". It looks incredible.
