What would you consider “the experience of a lifetime”?

What would you consider “the experience of a lifetime”?
Any teenage or college-age males reading this—please calm down! I’m in a happy, monogamous marriage, thus the “experience of a lifetime” you’re contemplating commenting about in vivid detail isn’t likely happening for me. I’ve got no reasonable transition here, so let’s just move along … I’ve long told myself I want to cycle the entirety of the West Coast of the U.S., or the breadth of the country. And by cycle, I mean the pedal-up-a-steep-hill-at-7-MPH type of cycling, not the 70-MPH-vroom-vroom variety. Loaded into one of my many saddlebags or panniers would be a few notebooks. There’s absolutely no chance I’m going to trek 1,000 to 2,000 miles without documenting my experiences—à la A Walk in the Woods. But probably after hours and hours and hours of pedaling, the last thing I’d want to do is sit down to handwrite my thoughts and experiences. Best to dictate the words, allowing technology to transcribe them at a later date. With the space saved by not hauling those notebooks, I can take along a few old Playboy magazines. You know—to remind me of the candid answer those college lads have.
