    3. It really amazes me how many of these items would be on my life list. We have an awful lot of similarities :)

      I'm a little bit obsessed with Stephen King and now that my Zak (from Ghost Adventures) did a lockdown at the Stanley, I'm even more intent on staying there. Someday.

      Which 5 are you going to do this year?
