I got 99 problems but visiting Paris ain't one

Let's take a different route this Friday in anticipation of the long weekend ahead. We'll call it [friday favorites: Memorial Day style]. Yep. I like it. 
As much as I enjoy reminiscing about past experiences let's utilize today for looking into the future as well, for inspiration's sake! This list has recently been making its way across the interwebs & I was fortunate enough to stumble upon it. Not only is it one heck of a fun game, it's a great way to reflect on amazing things you've done in your life & plan for more amazing things to come! There are 99 experiences listed.
