I'll save the more adventurous stuff till she's a teen or when she's out of the house.

On a tangent, I was saying to my wife that now that I'm 50 that it's likely I'll have about 20 years left of healthy living left where big vacations are feasible which probably means only 20-30 trips left (at the top end). That's not a lot of trips when I think of places I want to visit/re-visit:

Japan (3-4 times)
Europe (5-6 times)
South America (1-2 times)
Australia/NZ (2-3 times)
SE Asia/Polynesian (2-3 times)

That doesn't include my bucket list stuff like going to an F1 race or LeMans or seeing other big sporting events
You listed like 17 once in a lifetime trips for most people

I don't know if that perspective helps with your feelings of mortality or not, but it stood out to me
