  1. What a cool way to brainstorm a list of things to accomplish! I haven’t written down goals in the past, but may give this a go. Definitely get to the Keys! They are one of my favorite places.

    • I’ve actually camped on Bahia Honda in the long ago past but was not in the right frame of mind to really enjoy my stay. Would love to get there again. Jo
