01. See the Pyramids, maybe touch them. 02. Go as close to outer space as I can. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_space

Those are the only two I can think of right now. This is a great post.

Well, have you seen the pyramids? Have you touched them? How close have you been to outer space?

Hope you are well, old friend :)

The pyramids are #1 on my list too. I love Egyptology, and yet I've never been. I keep trying to make it my next international trip. The closest I ever get to outer space, however, might be jumping really high on a trampoline.

Those are two great ones caio. You have to touch them.

From the wiki article: In 1979, the Moon Treaty made the surfaces of objects such as planets, as well as the orbital space around these bodies, the jurisdiction of the international community. Additional resolutions regarding outer space have been drafted by the United Nations, but these have not precluded the deployment of weapons into outer space. -Doesn't it seem incredibly arrogant for us to claim any jurisdiction over such things?

At least is under the 'international community". Which makes me think of another good one:

3. Go to Antartica. Brazil has a base there, maybe go to it.

If you can't tell, I'm making these up as I go along. I don't have much sorted out right now.

Antartica, now that would be quite the experience. I can't say that I've met anyone (to my knowledge) that's been there.
