What is on Your Bucket List?

We may say in passing, “that is on my bucket list”. But have you ever made an actual list of your bucket list items? It’s like your goals, if you don’t write them down, you’ll never hit them (or get there for the bucket list items!)
I thought I’d share a couple of mine and why they are on my list. I’d love to hear from you about your bucket list items. Leave a comment with all of them or just a few!

• Egypt: I know it’s hot and dusty, but man I want to see the Great Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. I watched a friend's trip this past summer and officially wrote it on my list. She took a hot air balloon ride at sunset over the pyramids! It was absolutely gorgeous!!!

• Asia: I would love to see parts of Asia. I can’t quite narrow it down and I know they can be  vastly different. I’ll most likely experience a river cruise for my first trip just to get my feet wet. I love the food here, but it is very different there. The culture is beautiful to me and visiting this ancient civilization has long been on my list.

Tokyo

Indonesia

• Visit ALL Disney Destinations: Disney is making this harder and harder with the creation of Adventures by Disney, but I want to go to all of the Disney parks across the world! I’ll get there. It might take all my life but I can add a park when I visit Paris, Hong Kong, Tokyo and so on. But this one will happen!

• Morocco: I can’t put enough explanation points behind this one! I am in love with the colors, the vibrancy, the people, the difference in culture and well, everything! Who doesn't want to pretend to be Humphrey and Bogart and experience Casablanca?

• 4 Solid Weeks in Every Country in the E.U.: I couldn’t figure out how to put this in here. Because I’ve been to most of the countries in the EU. But I want to take my time. “Live” in the country for 3 or 4 weeks learning, living, smelling, eating, meeting and just being European. In most countries, 4 weeks isn’t long enough. But I think having been to many of them I can get through most of it. 

Barcelona

Croatia

Positano

• RV Across the U.S.A: This is past its prime for my family. I wanted to do this when the kids were little. I planned it for “next year” so many times. It would be hard at this point for us to do this as a family, but I’ll try it one day.

• Travel on the Orient Express: Saw this when a father son did it and I want to do this! But I want to take the train for more than one night. This is glamorous, luxurious and deserves a place on my bucket list!

• South Africa: For a long time this wasn’t on my list of must do’s. But it is definitely a destination that is growing on me. Not just for the animals, although a safari does fascinate me. But, the people, the scenery, the traditions, the food and the wine! I want to experience this destination with Steve for our 30th anniversary. We have 2 years, maybe I can make it happen!
