On July 24th, 2010 I was visiting some friends in Canada. My friend, Dina told me about a man that was creating a documentary called A Day In The Life, but in actuality it was called Life In A Day. The man asked for people to film their lives on July 24th and upload the videos onto YouTube. Thousands participated, and with the footage he created a documentary film about a single day on Earth.
As I was browsing through Netflix I found the documentary in the instant viewing section. I decided to watch it, and then was curious to whip out the videos that we took that day but never ended up submitting. I really don't think we would have even made the cut, but it was fun to film regardless....
One of the things I really wanted to do while in Toronto was to go up the CN Tower. We found that it was pretty pricey to go up the tower alone, so we decided it was a better deal to go up the tower and have lunch from the 360 restaurant. We figured we would have spent the same amount if not more if we had lunch elsewhere in addition to going up the tower.
Downtown Toronto
Going through security at the CN Tower was similar to going through security at the airport. Annoying. We went up the speedy elevator to the restaurant, and we're quickly seated by a window. We took our time enjoying the views, and made about 3 full revolving turns. We got a reasonably tasty 3 course gourmet meal. Since we are talking in 3's, I enjoyed this meal with 3 friends I met while traveling through Eastern Europe.

After lunch we headed up to the observation deck. It was pretty typical of many observation decks I have been to throughout the world. In true fashion, I freaked out standing on the glass floor, almost to the point of hyperventilation, but I still managed to muster a smile for a split second for the photo.
On the way down was a bit more amusing for us. As I was video taping us going down the elevator a lady in her 80's said, "Ohhh Emmm Geee." My friends and I giggled under our breaths the rest of the way down. It was then officially not cool to ever say again.

My life list has taken me to six continents and over 60 countries, helped me push my limits and face my fears, and has made positive changes in others lives as well as mine.
Life List & Travel Goals In Progress
September to October 2016- Europe Trip
Going to South Carolina and Georgia in June 2016
Lake Havasu in the summer of 2016
Make a photo book for every big trip I have taken (Europe, New Zealand & Australia, South America, Europe again, Africa, Caribbean)
Make a video for every big trip I have taken (Europe, New Zealand & Australia, Asia, South America, Europe again, Africa, Caribbean, Middle East and Europe for the third and fourth time.)
On my next few trips to LA I want to do things I never got a chance to do while I lived there- go to Griffith Observatory, hike to the Hollywood sign, The Getty Villas, and watch a movie at the Chinese Mann Theater (just to name a few).
