-Middle of the night cycling to Kilauea lava -Calving glaciers at the face of Columbia Glacier -Staring at the stars on the high Pamir plateau -Being charged by an elephant in South Africa -Camping in the Italian vineyards as a lightning storm rolled across the Med Sea -Being "face to face" with more grizzly bears than I care to admit -Observing a slow motion revolution in Iran -Watching leopards hunt zebras -Honestly, too many to remember

Flying airplanes, skiing, cycling, riding motorcycles, live music, great food and drink
