Well actually I would seek out everybody I care for and tell them goodbye and reminisce.  As the Grateful Dead said what a long strange trip it's been.
It would be a sweet celebration since I would be going to a more peaceful realm of existence and my kitty will be waiting for me to sit on my lap again, sleep right up against me and lick my neck.
I would tell all that I love that I do indeed love them and always have
Oh and to make sure I don't upset hobby guy I would also see if some nice lady would be kind enough to have sex with me. Surely someone would if its my last week to live.

When asked why he did so, he purportedly replied:

"I'm looking for loopholes."

I would visit with all the people who have touched my life (in good ways and bad) and make amends where I need to.  I would tell all the people that I love how much they mean to me. And, then, I would go to a lakeside cabin with my SO and love him with every ounce of my being.

And, now, I am going to cry and I am going to call him and tell him how much he means to me!

Skydiving,....

I have had do have a very good live Incredible at times. Yes I would like to have an opportunity to help others more .But with only one week left I would live like I was dying .  Skydiving /hang gliding would be the last 2 adventurous thins left on my list.

I would

max out my credit cards flying everyone I care about to a nice wilderness lodge for a week of fishing, hiking, boating, and fellowship.

The very first thing I'd want to do is to contact those whom I may have had disagreements with in the past and try to resolve them, or at least feel that I tried to own up to my mistakes. I would want to make sure my Will is updated and that my family doesn't have to go through the drama of figuring out what I would have wanted, etc. I would also need to know that my animals were going to be taken care of (well) for the rest of their lives. Now, after that is said and done:

1) Say "goodbye" to my friends and family.

2) Depending upon if I were rich and the speed
  of travel, go to a place that I've always
  wanted to see and experience (but a week just
  isn't enough time for that, is it?). So, if I
  cannot travel, then I want to sit outside and
  really, truly listen to the birds singing
  in different harmonies, hum to the rhythmn of
  the trickling of the meandering creek bed,
  listen to the instrumental music of the wind,
  and remember how great nature is and that
  God is near.

3) Since I have already done so many fun and
  dangerous things, there isn't too many
  outlandish things for me to experience,
  other than bungee jumping. I wouldn't
  have time to learn how to fly a plane, but I
  could always go up in a hot-air balloon:
  haven't done that yet, or possibly bungee
  jump off of a bridge.

I have always -- even from childhood -- wanted to experience everything that seemed exciting or even remotely possible to accomplish and able to squeeze into this lifetime, but one week would not be enough time to fulfill the few things I have yet to experience.

I think the greatest experience for me would be to pass on and see everyone I've known -- and especially loved -- gathered at a table topped with lots of delicacies in Heaven (or some form of elysium) and know that none of us will ever be in pain again, we'll never age, we'll never have to worry about eternal peace and salvation, and we'll always be together with those we love.


Hugs,
ciara

spend as much time as possible with my grandbabies. They all live 3000 miles away, and I've missed a lot of their growing up. Hopefully, with only a week to live, it would be quality time.

I don't know if i would do anything more then what i've done in my life. Have no desire to do anything special because i've done what has made me happy my entire life i'm pleased to say.
I've married, i've had children, i've loved deeply and have been loved, worked hard for a  great education, gained a career (in my "real" life) i've felt the pain of a broken heart and  what an important lesson it is not to hurt others, I've learned many good lessons some good, some bad, I've aquired many good friends with some super memories,and traveled to places i've enjoyed,
I think if i only had a week to live, i would be sitting thinking back on all i've done and how lucky i've been to have experienced all of it.

God forbid it happens any time soom but,

since my wife was killed in a car accident without any goodbyes and I have kids ranging in ages of 8 and 22 I would spend it with them.

I have never been able to take them all camping in the BWCA together and that would be the most quite and peaceful place I could think of to share my last week with them.  I would give them the opportunity to ask any questions and share thoughts of the past memories of the mother and any dreams she had for them.  I would share with them my greatfulness for being able to share my life with them and being able to say goodbye.

My final words would be that whenever their time came, not to worry, mom and dad would be waiting for them with smiles and open arms.

I would not sweat it since I'm living all my fantacies now.  I'd get a cash advance on my CC card & book my faves every night!

Might take me a whole week to compile the list of things I Want To Do!
