I don't know. I've found that going into an experience with high expectations is a recipe for disappointment. My best experiences have been completely unplanned and mostly out of the blue (for example, Canyon de Chelley was a very powerful experience but I'd never heard of the place before the day we arrived and started poking around).
The key for me is to put myself in places where that can happen as often as possible without actually trying to plan them. So, to the extent that I have a list it is pretty soft.
I'd like to eat at French Laundry at least once.
I'd like to watch a baseball game from every Major League Ballpark
Watch a game in every step of the A's farm system within the same season.
Visit enough countries that I can attend a UN conference and regale most attendees with stories from when I visited their country.
Pee on a wild animal that isn't a sea lion since that story is all worn out.
Do a very long distance walk. I vacillate between staying local and walking from home to Yosemite and wanting to shoot the moon and walk to New York City or something.
Swim in the arctic ocean. This is the item I have the firmest plan for, but it is still pretty soft.
Get farther into Don Quixote than the first 100 pages. Those first 100 pages are so damn good, why can't I get any farther?
