All time top 5 life experiences

Not in order. Probably not even the top 5. Just the ones that spring to mind.

Putting my new wife into an 80's Aston V8 Vantage, and driving her away from church with all our friends and family waving us off. That car really added something to the sense of occasion.

Having my new-born daughter placed into my arms for the first time. I never thought of myself as someone who wanted a child. I was amazed at how that made me feel.

Walking through a snow-covered Central Park at night.

My first attempt to take my own car on track, and the big grin that opened up on my face when I opened it up going up Clay Hill.

Holiday in the Maldives, waited on hand and foot.
 
5 - Beers and dinner with Sir Terry Pratchett
4 - My 30th Birthday weekend (with Star Wars theme as its May 4th...hint)
3 - Millennium night in Sydney
2 - The 2 girls I met that night
1 - My kids being born


Not as interesting as some (flying in a Hawk, I'm looking at you) but they are all great moments from my life.
 
So far i've only done two amazing things.

1. My son being born
2. Getting a flight in a Nimrod low level over ships in the north sea before it went out of service.

Got a lot more to come and i look forward to it!
 
In no particular order:

1. birth of my children
2. 800 feet down the cayman wall in a research sub
3. best backcountry powder days I have had of which there are many (particular highlights in courmayeur and niseko) - it is the best I can feel
4. hot air balloon safari in Kenya
5. Can't mention this one
 
#5 - Making my first million
#4 - Making my first billion
#3 - Divorcing my wife
#2 - Marrying her sister
#1 - Divorcing her sister


**Only kidding, I have never been married!**
 
5# Finding a lost sock
4# Escaping from an angry mob
3# The foreman of the Jury saying “Not guilty”
2# When my Dianetic auditing confirmed that I had been cleared of all engrams
1# Finding the other sock, thus making a perfect pair
