What's on your bucket list?

[bif]

Just about the only thing on my list is to spend a week or two in Venice. I'd love to explore all the islands, photograph them, and then do a bunch of paintings from them.

Yours?

1. Pompeii is #1

I've been to Rome but didn't get to the ruins.

2. It's really amazing.

I was there many, many years ago and found it fascinating. They've made a ton of new discoverers since then and now my wife has been bugging me to go there again. Maybe in the next year or so we'll do it.

4. The vendors had some cheap toys with dirt on them, like they had just been dug up.

3. Seeing the Southern Cross in New Zealand

But, oof, that long flight. Maybe I should just go to Peru instead...

5. I really want to get to 101 countries visited, but I'm running out of time. I'm 78 this year and keeping up with tour

groups sometimes is hard (I have mild COPD and my knees act up). Should have 91 under my belt by year's end.

6. Going to the u.k. and having real afternoon tea.

Seeing the amazing places in the u.s. and it's territories (especially Hawaii).
Going on another cruise.

Will I get to do any of that? I don't know. Budget is the main reason, but also physical issues make it difficult for me to walk long distances.

7. Bay of Fundy

Could have driven up to the bay of Fundy in 1994 from Bar harbor. Pre 9/11 easy to cross the border. Need a pass port now. Used to cross the border with just a drivers license.

15. Best scallops in the world there.

8. Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Crater Lake.

I saw some of Yellowstone and Crater Lake in 1965, when I was 7, but didn't see as much as I would like to now. (Never saw The Old Man of the Lake, and stayed on the beaten path at Yellowstone.) Have never been to Yosemite. But now, with a bum leg, I would never be able to go where I would like to, even if I went to those places. So I'll settle for going to the reagan library and pissing on the old fool's grave.

9. Venice is so awesome

Went 3 years in a row. Loved walking around the streets and we stayed at an awesome hotel ! I would love to go back someday when the orange reign of terror is over. Too embarrassed to say I’m American now.

11. The most beautiful city on earth

We love it so much, we gave our daughter "Venice" for her middle name.

10. Win the Powerball lotto.

[Morbius]

18. You, too?

I confess I'd be happy to not win the jackpot, just win $1 million (match all the numbers except the Powerball). I wouldn't be able to retire but my life would be a LOT easier.

This doesn't count as a bucket list thing for me because I have no control over it. If I did win, though, it might enable me to achieve some bucket list things, like own a nice house with a pool table in the basement.

12. I had 3 things on my bucket list:

1. Go to the church in Leipzig that Bach wrote the Christmas Oratorio for, St. Thomas, and hear a performance
2. Go to the Edinburgh Tattoo
3. Go to the Galapagos

I just finished the list last month.

14. How cool is that!

Congrats!

13. A Month in Japan

Heading there in October with my family and their spouses. Trying to learn basic Japanese .
Can do this because I am retired…no longer consulting!

16. Playing the Main Event at the World Series of Poker

[Grim Chieftain]

17. Not to die...?

[bif]

19. Isn't that on everyone's list?

[Grim Chieftain]

20. Hopefully

Unfortunately, some lose their zest for life, especially as they get older. i personally hope and pray that love of life is with us to the end.

21. A SMALLER bucket!

So I could fit into my old bell bottoms again!
