What is at the top of your bucket list?
Why?
What is holding you back from doing it NOW?
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.
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. ?
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.
Seeing as much of the world as possible. Everything takes time.
