Driving a Stolen Bucket List

Not only did I steal this quiz from Toni at Wandering and Wondering, I stole her post title too! But that's okay because she's just as big a thief as I am. She stole this quiz from Bob, who stole it from Anne Marie at From My Brain to My Mouth, who stole it from Travel Penguin . . . .  So feel free to steal it yourself if you feel like playing along with the Bucket List Quiz on your own blog!
