Bucket List

What are some of the 100 things you'd like to do before you die? Most people would think of something that includes beauty, exotism and of course something that is memorable and adventiourous.

On September 1, 2011, ABC News editiors published an artice about David Freeman's 1999 book 100 Things to do before your die. The article, which can be found in the travel section of abcnews.go.com , included an additional eight noteworthy things recommended by expert authors and editiors based on their favourite destinations. Sailing in the British Virgin Islands was listed second, with skiing in Zermatt, Switzerland being first on the list. Karen Schaler, editior of TravelTherapyTrips.com , recapped her experience in the BVI:

"Here are crystal-clear waters and talkum-powder soft sands white as sugar. Chartering your own sailboat and stopping by Peter Island, Virgin Gorda and Jost van Dyke islands is a glorious experience. And don't forget to try one pf the islands' famous Pain Killer cocktails. They're made with three kinds of rum, fruit juice and nutmeg".
