    Top ten things to do before...

    SFG75, I thought your list would basically be made up of the cigars you still hadn't tried ;) . Baddie, the wild safari sounds well..wild. I'd have to second Steffee on the why get married twice though, once is bad enough :D . Oh Steffee! Can I at least get a clue?

    Spikeyli, that is quite a list. Mardi Gras would have been on my list too but never mind. Steffee, ;) (no idea why I'm winking, but it feels like the right thing to do :D ) What is your one thing? I'd be beyond happy if I made it to base camp - climbing it all is just too much hard work...

    The Tao of Earthsea

    OK so this was the only thread I could find on the Earthsea books (well - the only one in the Sci-fi/Fantasy section) so I figured may as well use it instead of starting up another one. Let's just put the Tao bit to the side for now - unless DS you want to ruminate further on the Taoist...
