What is at the top of your bucket list?

Why?

What is holding you back from doing it NOW?

I would love to take a river cruise down the Rhine River from Amsterdam to Vienna. Also, white water rafting. If I ever actually have a partner to do them with, nothing is holding me back, other than I don’t want to do them alone.

@Crimson67 are you taking names? ?

That would be upriver. The Rhine starts in Switzerland.

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. ?

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.

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

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.

Galapagos, Easter Island, Machu Picchu in one big trip.
Because they are three places that have fascinated me for decades.
Work -- Lack of travel partner

Find a partner on your travels!!

I highly recommend Adventure Life out of Montana for the Galapagos. You need to do a 30 person yacht because only the smaller boats can get to all the islands. There are two different times of year to go because the currents change and the animals change. Contact me for more details when you're going if you wish

It's a good question...... Makes me wonder, have I lived my life too fast?.... Lately I've been feeling like I've seen it all... Nothing in particular left on my bucket list

@Crimson67 Like Billy Joel song says..... You may be right....

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.

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.

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.

4

Travel in Bolivia, for the incredible number of ancient, unexploited ruins. On hold until my children are grown or older at least......and it would be an experience I'd like to share with a partner.

I am starting a project but I am where need to be to make it happen so is in progress since I just arrived.

2

To die in my sleep. I think I screwed up. That one probably should have gone on the bottom of my list, not the top. 😟

3

Visit some of my relatives in Florence once again.
I was much younger when I was there last time around 14.
So I would love to go there and site see with some family as an adult.

2

Visiting the Amalfi Coast of Italy
It's one of three places I need to see in the world
Can't go until I find "her" to go with

  1. Auditioning for tons of plays. I miss being on stage. Holding me back: Tricky work schedules.
  2. Road trip West to California on Route 66, back home to Pennsylvania on The Lincoln Highway. Hmb: Money & time.

Anywhere in Europe...I’ve never been there and would love to go

1

Before I die, I would like to see evidence of life elsewhere (apart fro the earth).

The second thing would be to learn what exactly is in area 51.

2

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.

1

One more shot at a good relationship.

1

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

2

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

1

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.

1

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).

keep on living
