    I am so extremely fortunate, I have really checked off everything on my bucket list already..

    But the one thing I do again and again and again and never ever get bored of is travelling to kenya and studying Lions and getting up real close with them...same with elephants, too. I am actually seriously thinking of leaving the rat race here and spend the rest of my life doing just that :-)

    My fiance and I go on Amtrak trips in the states all the time. We've been form Chicago to Seattle, and Chicago to San Francisco. He says, when we retire we will do the Tran Siberian Railway!
    Go on the Tran-Siberian Railway is my #1
    Go to Alaska, Hawaii, Australia, England, Scotland, Russia (well, that'll come with the first one, I suppose :laugh: )

    Thing is, I'm 99% sure I'll get to all of them :bigsmile:

    Oh nice! I actually looked into it a year or so ago. It's not as expensive as I thought it would be, if you can get decent enough airfare.

    I want to visit Havasu Falls, AZ. The only way to get there is hiking in 10 miles or taking a helicopter. I want to do the hike!

    This is Havasu Falls at the northern rim of the Grand Canyon. (I've never see the Grand Canyon either so I would love to see it as well)

    All over Europe (Already been to Ireland, Scotland, England, and Spain)

    It's not really a 'thing', but before I die I want to know that at that very moment in time, I am happy. Does that make sense? It does to me anyway! :laugh: It seems silly, but it's a big thing for me to just be happy.

    I want to be a paediatric nurse when I'm older, and I'm waiting to hear if I've been accepted to studying paediatric nursing at a University. Actually, I have to be a paediatric nurse. It's all I've ever wanted to do. Before I die, I want to change someone's life, and save someone's life. I suppose the one thing I really want to do is make a significant impact on someone's life.

    I'd love to travel too :smile:

    I was convinced that all my talking about/wanting/wishing about visiting Ireland and Scotland was setting a poor example for my children, so watched the airline sales and bought us inexpensive tickets off season (spring break here). Huge upside besides price savings was no summer crowds! Had so much fun wandering around Ireland/Scotland, that I went back again (with kids) and included London. Life is short...I didn't want my kids sitting around wishing we'd gone, after I'm dead. A huge plus is the educational factor - and we have made good friends with people we met in both countries! Two have been over to visit us in this past year... Lufthansa is running a sale right now (and tickets are valid through spring break)...yes, I've been looking!

    My to-do list includes seeing the Holy Land (if only I could be assured I wouldn't get blown up!) Also, Italy and Spain...if only I could convince my dear hubby who doesn't travel easily...

    Sushi is my all time favorite food and I have it a few times a month. As for my bucket list, at last count I had 638 things on there. I turned 30 this week and was able to mark off one thing. I wanted to see the Rockefeller tree lighting in NYC and I did. I seem to mark things off and then add more to it. This year I have marked off quite a few things, from camping at Yellowstone national park and the Grand Canyon to seeing Orca whales and Mount Rushmore. Some of the things on my bucket list are silly like filling up everyday on a calender with someones birthday (I have to know the person) and driving a zamboni to diving at the great barrier reef and touring Europe. The great thing about a bucket list is that you can put anything and everything on there. Good luck with your ventures.

    I just added this to my bucket list and so did my husband. He said "Damn, I know what we are doing on our next trip to the Grand Canyon!!!"

    I was dying, literally, didn't know it at the time though, and made a list. On it I put be a dr, not really knowing why, but feeling like it needed to be there. I am now in school to get my BA degree, after which I will go on to grad school to be a physical therapist....I will have a doctorate when I am done :)
