30th birthday bucket list

I have 15 months until my 30th birthday so to further commit myself, I shall now reveal my "bucket list", or my goals to be accomplished before my 30th birthday.

1. be debt free (minus the house...and husband's student loans)
2. get down to my wedding weight and maintain
3. Hawaii
4. a cruise
5. a triathlon...that's gonna take some work.  I may regret writing that.  But I hope training for a goal will help me maintain my working out motivation.
6. get back onstage (even just once).  I haven't done anything since college--singing/dancing/acting/tech.  it doesn't really matter what because it's not about the display of talent (or lack thereof) but about being part of something like that again.  I miss it.
7. take classes.  I'd like to start a master's program but that might a little too ambitious for our current situation so I'd settle for classes about cooking and parenting.
8. read 6 great American novels.  I'm a little disturbed about our society's obsession with Twilight and Hunger Games.   Are we so desperate for entertainment that we've forsaken truly great literature?
9. climb something big.  yes I know I lack specifics. My best ever was a 10D (not impossible but not too shabby for a casual rock climber) and then I got pregnant and haven't been since (five years).  And the ratings don't mean much because it's hard to be consistent.  I'd like it to be multiple pitch and to really challenge me.  As in, can't open the fridge door the next day because I'm so sore.
10. visit at least one historical site that I've never been to before. has to be out of state and can't double with #3 or #4.
