Hee, thanks for all the ideas! I will have to contemplate more. A few are almost definitely both my thing and doable, some are my thing but probably not doable due to constraints (travel to a new foreign country is expensive!), and some are really not my thing (I will never fly an airplane, or go up with someone in a tiny plane unless I'm skydiving and have a parachute already on, and even then it's a hard sell). Definitely some list-worthy candidates on there!

Also, I'm amused that another of my friends also gave me some ideas and then was like, "wait, maybe I should do some of these myself!"

How does a breadmaker work? Do you just put ingredients in there and it does its thing without further input from you?
