I would guess it has to do with going to Africa. Maybe you will even go on a safari while there or bungie jump off Victoria Falls.

Since I read Rocks in my Dryer, I am going to assume you are headed to Africa too.
Pretty awesome!

Checking off a continent is great, and it is totally worth your while to book a flight to Nairobi and on to Zambia and jump off the bridge at Victoria Falls.

I'm inspired by some of your goals. Have you ever seen the site 43things.com? It's a way to keep track of the 43 things you want to do before you die. You should check it out. For some reason, I feel if it's out there on the web, then I'm more apt to pursue it.
BTW, I love your blog. I'm a fellow displaced Atlantan (I live in Smyrna now, but grew up in Indiana) so I can completely understand missing home and not feeling like this is it for me. :)
