Your Want To list seems to have a theme (NORAD aside). Have you spent time in a 3rd world country before? Its quite an experience for an American, and I do recommend that EVERYONE in this country find a way to spend time in a place like that, some time in their lives.

 

I'd like to go to Africa, and not to some fancy resort in South Africa. I'm talking deep into the bush jungle, civil war, child soldiers, blood diamond, tusk poaching, AIDS epidemic, safari, hard core s***.
