I typically don’t list my buckets.

Seeing as much of the world as possible. Everything takes time.

To see the Vikings play in US Bank Stadium

Because they're my team and I want to experience a home game there, although I did see them in the Humphrey-Dome

Lack of money

What is at the top of your bucket list?
I want to see England and Ireland.

Why?
Because I love history, archeology and genealogy. I want to poke through the rubble and find my roots.

What is holding you back from doing it NOW?
Money. Always money

Hunting deer with an eagle is my number one item. I’m not the proper rank to have eagles. It’s still a Class A Federal Felony lol

Shark cage diving off the coast of Australia!

Going to Mars.

Because it is there. There is a myriad others, but that's the main one.

Age and physical condition. In spite of that, I would go if the chance presented itself.

Private pilot's license.

I love aviation, and dig flying single engine aircraft.

Time and money.

I've had three terribly expensive hobbies in my life. Flying was the worst of them. Buddy up with a pilot. Go flying with them a lot. Eventually you'll be given the controls -- guaranteed. Not for takeoff or landing, but it's better than nothing. That will work out to be easier, cheaper, and safer than doing it the other way.

@evidentialist I hear you loud & clear on the expense. I do have a profound interest in aviation and piloting, and some solo hours in a 172 out of KAVL. If I somehow get the means before I'm too old or feeble, I'm getting a license.

?

@MollyBell -- Then by all means, do it. I found later that it was much more cost effective to rent and not be faced with maintenance, hangar fees, insurance, blah blah blah.

@evidentialist Yes, true. I figured that out a while back that it costs a lot just to own an aircraft, which is why I dropped my lessons. I may not ever be in position to do it, but... it's a bucket list, lol. ?

I’ve tried twice to see the aurora borealis, once in Norway and again on a trip to Iceland. Failed both times, the lights were spectacularly absent.

Go spend a winter in or near Fairbanks, Alaska and you'll be able to scratch that one off your list.

@evidentialist I wish I could but, alas, I am in the UK and cannot afford it.

@Cassiopeia -- Then winder in Abisko, Sweden.

2

India and Japan. $$ holds me back.

1

Couples skinny dipping.

I'm not part of a couple at this time.

@Shelton -- Was the beach embarrassed? I mean, you walking in when it was nude and all....

2

Immortality.

Because I want to live for a very long time.

Because the technology doesn't exist yet. I'll need to find a group of cryogenic scientists that aren't bound by laws stating you cannot freeze a living subject, go under until the technology appears that can halt and reverse the aging process.

Travel, travel travel...

Back to Asia, America, Alaska, Patagonia... I’ve been to a lot of places for work in the past due to my former career, but I wanna go back and be able to enjoy more. The thing is that when you go to places as a tourist, you are always in a rush because you have a limited time and need to make the most of it. My best experiences where when I actually moved to a place and had all the time I wanted. Tourism is a lie... Still better than sitting at home though ?

Moving to the beach...I will be doing that for the second time in my life this spring 2019.

Visiting Australia and New Zealand...trip planned for fall of 2019.

Not much else on my list....

that's a long plane ride. make sure you plan to see both islands of NZ. i only saw the north island. dangit i would have liked to see the alp-like mountains!!

@SeeCanU I went to Japan a few years ago and yes, it was a long plane ride. I plan to break it up by making a few days stop overs. I am going for about 3 weeks...if that is not enough, I can up it to more. It will be the trip of a lifetime, I hope! Thanks..yes...I want to see the mountains and the blue cave.

Traveling to see some of the interesting spots in this country - and abroad.
What's stopping me? a 20 yr old cat - her sister died this past January as did our beloved German Shepherd. Little Tess is the last of the mohicans so to speak and we will put all travel plans on hold for what remaining time we have with her. Might sound silly - but we think she deserves to spend the rest of her life being as happy and contented as possible.

keep on living

An extended sailing trip across the Atlantic to coastal Europe and Africa is pretty near the top of the bucket list for me.

There is a romance about the time on the ocean, the self-fulfilling work, and the cultural and social encounters that have appealed to me since I was young groing up on middle America.

Stopping me is a complete lack of sailing knowledge, available time and money, and a small crew. (Although I'm working on convincing my partners to join).

Why is a do-list called "bucket-list"? What has a bucket to do with it????

Things to do before you "kick the bucket" (die)

[en.m.wikipedia.org]

Well, weird anyway. Why should I kick a bucket when I have my last project done. I would store him for later use and go to bed to take a nap.

I have had Iceland and the Neolithic sites in Orkney on my bucket list since I was 19. I ticked both off this year.

I think that an extended European road trip will be the next big bucket list item.

2

Visiting all 50 states. Lack of money is holding me back. Another thing is on my bucket list is trying weed.

1

go to the galapagos.
need the time and it'd be nice to have somebody to go with

2

Kilimanjaro
Burning Man
I saw an ad for a massage where the table was set up in the middle of a slow moving Creek. Done at dusk with candle light. Waiting for my significant other to put the plan in motion! Yes please!

i've been wanting to go to burning man since the 80's....well maybe the early 90's.

Burning Man is on my list as well.

One more shot at a good relationship.

I've been working on it since my early twenties. I want to see all fifty states . I have three to go.... among other things, most of which I have accomplished already.
