[some other dude]

Buy a bucket. check

Make a list. :idunno:

 

[Quincy]

Going to Niagra Falls and Mammoth Cave, check. The Grand Canyon is next!

 

[Nathon Detroit]

Last year we went on a cruise. Loved it so much we are going to take another one in the fall.

 

[frostmanj]

I went cavern diving in Mexico. Next is getting a motorcycle if I can sneak it past my wife.

 

[Sherman]

Sea World, Disney Land, Yosemite, and I even sailed on an Aircraft Carrier. Next is a cruise to Alaska.

Sea World was an interesting experience: Did you know that dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish? :chuckle:

 

[Nathon Detroit]

I'd love to go to Nicaragua or the Dominican Republic and learn how to make cigars.

Two adventures I've considered adding to my list, but haven't as of yet.

I went scuba diving off Guanaja, in the Bay Islands of Honduras many moons ago. It is one of the best dive locations in the world, with incredible dives like The Jado Trader, Jim's Siverload, Black Rock Canyons and Virtigo (where I experienced nitrogen narcosis :dizzy. Consider adding Guanaja to your bucket list.

Next dive adventure on my bucket list is the Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

I'd love to go to Nicaragua or the Dominican Republic and learn how to make cigars.

I bet that would be easy to set up, if there wasn't already some cigar-making tour that existed for cigar affectionados. If there wasn't some existing tour, you could organize one with like-minded individuals and probably travel for free. For example, when I was in Guanaja, the manager of the resort I stayed at offered me free accommodations if I would bring a small tour to his resort.

There are several cigar tours you can take. Wouldn't it be cool to wander through the tobacco fields and tour the fermenting barns?

1. Play basketball against major Division 1 basketball players.
2. Spend a week in NYC.
3. Make it out of the French Quarter alive.:chuckle:

[Tambora]

Well, I'm an elderly widow woman on a very limited income.
I have to save up for awhile to be able to do anything special.

I don't think I'm physically able anymore to go hiking through the Grand Canyon, so I'm gonna have to scratch that off my list.

Right now I am saving to become a subscriber here on TOL.
I really like the site and that is something I would enjoy and can do from the comfort of home.

 

[Universalist]

Cooked dinner---Check off the list

Eat the dinner--About to Check off the list..

...and the saga continues

Bucket lists.

[annabenedetti]

I don't know if I even want a bucket list.

 

[Persephone66]

I don't keep a bucket list.

 

[KeithB]

Last year we went on a cruise. Loved it so much we are going to take another one in the fall.

We cruised Hawaii in 2005 and Alaska in 2010. I would recommend these. My bucket list is to enjoy every day until I kick the bucket.
