"50 Things to do Before I'm 50"

In keeping with my "Nifty to be 50" themed year...I wanted to start my posts on "50 things to do before I'm 50."  This idea actually came to me while on my trip to Peru.  Little did I know, this was a rather popular thing to do.  I want to do the 50 things within my 49th calendar year.  

I wanted to wait to post these until 2016.  So, here we go with some I've completed.
