Awesome list. Hope to see more hyperlinks soon 🙂
Thanks! Slowly but surely, I’ll make my way through this list!
Good to know. And Good luck 🙂
Great list! We saw the Whirling Dervishes in 2012 and it has always been a big wish list item for me. Happily it was everything I expected it to be and more. I hope you get many of these accomplished in 2015! 🙂
Thanks, Shelley! I will take me a while but I hope to get there, that’s for sure 🙂
Wow! That’s one elaborate list. I am happy that you’ve been able to do a few already 🙂 This is inspirational, Kendra. Thank you!
Thanks! With this list, I figured, aim high and you never know – it just may happen 🙂
