Here's mine:
Some I've completed already
1: Live past Forty years old (I'm 51 now that I've got demon drink under control)
2: Get Married (finally last year)
3: Visit brother in New Zealand ( done 6 years ago drove 3000 miles from Tip of north island to Christchurch south island)
4: Go on a Cruise ( Cruised the Caribbean 2 years ago)
5: Visit Disneyland Florida ( been twice now with the kids)
6: Drive route 66
7: Own a classic Car ( a triumph stag has been worn out by me)
8: Sky Dive
9: Drive a rally car.
10: Walk my daughter down the aisle. ( August 1st this year)
11: Visit Australia
12: Travel Europe
13: See the pyramids in Egypt ( I actually went inside the Great Pyramid)
14: Visit Cuba ( I toured Havana in a classic convertible Car)
15: Visit Las Vegas ( we spent 10 night there, we've got to go back for a photo below the welcome to Vegas sign)
16: Visit West coast Of USA
17: Visit New York
18: Not be a Grumpy Grandad ( No Grand kids yet so still time)
19: Live in A better climate ( warmer with sunshine) Someday...
20: Not worry so much.
21: Get Better at golf (play more)

The 1st nearly stopped the rest, so you can if you want to bad enough. This year it's to lose weight get fit and then travel again.

During Our travels we've met lots of wonderful people, in Memphis, Nashville & New Orleans (wife's bucket list). They almost always ask if we've been to London or Cambridge or Bath or York or Scotland etc. Now back then 12 years ago we hadn't visited much of our own country, which I found a bit embarrassing as Cambridge is 40 minutes north & London is 20 minutes south of us. So after much embarrassment we decided to travel our own country as well as others. We spend a weekend every couple of months somewhere in our own country see all the sites that visitors see, we become tourists in our country and get to see many great things that are on our doorstep within a day drive.

    I've never been one for Bucket lists but I recently watched the movie The Way with Martin Sheen. (if you haven't ,you should, its great!) and its made me obsessed with The Camino de Santiago, a famous pilgrimage that goes through France & Spain. I turn 50 in 2 years and this is a goal for me!!! I want to do this!!

    We took Route 66 from Vegas to the Grand Canyon. It wasn't really worth it sadly but it's cool to say you did it I guess.

    Bucket list…
    Visit Iceland, Galapagos
    Stay at one of those over the water places in like Fiji

    Other than those I've done most of what I wanted to do and I tend to go with whims so whatever happens to be my next whim I'll do.

    I want to go to space before I die and hopefully some kind of time travel... even if it's just observing and not being there..

    Realistic one is to travel to as many places as possible, especially across America, oh and I want a pet penguin :blush:
