Bucket List Ideas?

[DaisyDuck001]

I'm updating my bucket list and looking for some new ideas.

1. What's the top country now on your bucket list?
2. What's the top USA destination now on your bucket list?
3. What's a priority on your bucket list that is not related to travel?
4. What is something you already accomplished on your bucket list, that turned out to be even better than you expected?

75yo and do not have a *Bucket List* -- never did and never will. Once I'm dead I'm sure I will not remember not doing something and then regretting not doing it.

1- Top country on my bucket list... hard to choose. China, France, Scotland, Italy are all top contenders. It'd depend on the travelers and the type of vacation we want.
2. We have seen a lot of the USA on our own. I guess a tour of the big national parks in Colorado/Nevada region.
3. It sounds stupid but I want to get my home sorted out. I just helped my sister move out of the apartment she and my nieces have lived in for 14 years, and what a nightmare it's been. I need to get started on getting rid of a lot of the crap we've accumulated over the years, and then do a really deep clean.
4. I refinished our "cat room." It's a 7X9 space at the end of the upstairs hall that gives access to the stairs up to the attic. We replaced the ceiling and wall boards (NEVER AGAIN will I do sheet rock work), then I sealed and painted it all and refinished the hardwood floor. All it really needs now is curtain rods. Next up will be the laundry room- same deal but the ceiling doesn't need replacing (although the one in the hallway does... 120 year old house with plaster/lathe walls and ceilings- they finally fall apart).

1. I have no desire to leave the US.
2. I would love to visit Frankenmuth, Michigan.
3. I want to get my house back in order. Right now it looks like I am a hoarder.
4. My great desire was to live to be a great-grandma and rock my great-grandbaby in my big old rocking chair. God gave me the desire of my heart earlier this month.

1. What's the top country now on your bucket list? Greece and countries on The Adriatic Sea, North Africa
2. What's the top USA destination now on your bucket list? Pennsylvania to connect with extended family and finally getting answers about one of the American branches of my family
3. What's a priority on your bucket list that is not related to travel? To stick with my new hair care routine and grow my hair back to waist length.
4. What is something you already accomplished on your bucket list, that turned out to be even better than you expected? Cruising. I've always been drawn to the sea but until I found DCL, I'd always thought cruise ship holidays were not of interest to me.

Another person who never had or never will have a bucket list. Basically, if I wake up every morning I'm considering it a success. Anything over that is gravy.

Most of my bucket list are courses I'd like to play.
The only one I scratched is -Bethpage Black, Harbor Town and Winged Foot(scramble).

Top countr(ies) - Australia / New Zealand
Top US - Pacific Northwest (Oregon / Washington / etc)
Bucket list completed - African safari - it far exceeded my expectations. Would love to go back again sometime, but there's so much more we'd like to do first.

Non travel item - actually, I'd like to become a certified travel agent someday.

1. What's the top country now on your bucket list?

Not a country, but a specific city.

Luxor, Egypt: I want to be there on 08/02/2027 to see the total solar eclipse.

Abu Dhabi, UAE: sometimes during the first 3 months of Disneyland's grand opening.

2. What's the top USA destination now on your bucket list?

None.

3. What's a priority on your bucket list that is not related to travel?

Maintain a clean home.

4. What is something you already accomplished on your bucket list, that turned out to be even better than you expected?

Walking inside Stone Henge. Standing face to face with Ginevra de' Benci.

I don't have a bucket list really. As far as travel it's been a goal of mine to visit Egypt, Jordan & Israel. I'll get there eventually, probably in the next 4 or 5 years. I've got several trips to places I haven't been yet or wanted to revisit scheduled over the next few years, starting with Scotland in 2 weeks.

As far as closer to home, I'm terrible with home decor and whatnot so my hope/goal is to hire a interior decorator for our next home (we plan on moving in a few years) to help me. I'm very much looking forward to that!

I've made a big deal to my husband that our current dane should be our last big dog as we get older and travel more & more, but between you & me I think I'll be getting another one...what's life without a big dog???? I can't imagine, so another big guy will be on my horizon most likely!

My only goal is to have died doing as much as what I wanted to do with as many of the folks I wanted to do it with. So far so good, rest is just gravy. We are in our early 50's and are living NOW and not waiting till retirement.

1) Germany, because our daughter lives there now. I had always wanted to go to China, Shanghai specifically because my dad was born there. But my nephew went and was disappointed because everything related to my Grandfather and his company has been destroyed. And the current government doesn't like to talk about that Capitalist era in their history.

2) Pisek North Dakota. Because my maternal Grandmother was born there, and apparently I have a lot of relatives there, living and dead. A Genealogy trip as there are some mysteries in my Grandmother's life.

3) Getting my cataract surgery. I was scheduled for one eye in May and and other in June but an issue with my GOOD eye generated a referral to a specialist. I can't get my cataract surgery until I have surgery on my good eye. Been waiting since January. The wait for a specialist was 4 months, surgery will be in October. When I heal up, THEN they can schedule cataract surgery. Looks like it will be next year now.

4) Road trip from California to Texas to the town (Big Spring) my wife crew up in. She had not been there in nearly 60 years. Spent time at the Grand Canyon, Roswell, London Bridge and Albuquerque on the way. Only downside, catching Covid.

1. What's the top country now on your bucket list?
Greece ( planned for next year) and then Iceland
2. What's the top USA destination now on your bucket list?
Sedona. I have gone to most of my top places already.

Being Canadian: I am also going to add places in Canada: Banff and Nova Scotia.
3. What's a priority on your bucket list that is not related to travel? Retirement and down sizing
4. What is something you already accomplished on your bucket list, that turned out to be even better than you expected? Recent cruise from Seoul to Tokyo spending time in both cities re and post cruise. Even though I already had high expectations it met them and went beyond
Best trip of my life and I have amazing lifetime memories of our trip with my husband and daughters.
