What's on your Bucket List?

I am with Maw. Sometimes the actual desire is better that the actual event. Although I would like to go on the Orient Express to Venice. We may do that next year. We are going to the Baltic on a cruise this year as it is our golden wedding anniversary year.

I’ve crossed a few things off my bucket list now .... Jazz Tour in New Orleans, paddle Steamer up the Mississippi, The Amalfi Drive, Carnival in Rio, White water rafting, parasailing off the back of a boat, Caribbean cruise etc And soon I’m off on another adventure picking up a cruise ship in Sydney and sailing to NZ, Bora Bora, Tahiti and Hawaii. We are only here once so we have to try to realise all our dreams while we can. Now my kids and grandkids are all doing well and happy, it’s my time and they all openly encourage me.

I wish that I had been able to see more of the world when I was younger. Family commitments, lack of money, and a husband with health problems prevented it.
Since DH died I have been to visit our 'children' in Australia numerous times, visited Prague, friends in Ireland and had a few breaks in England. I had plans to drive a lot more, but find that I have lost a lot of confidence through being a stay-at-home driver for so many years. I don't want to risk doing a 'Prince Philip' so just drive in my local area now.
My one bucket list fancy has always been to take the train right across Canada. It looks like a wonderful journey. Have any of you done this?

RosieLeigh have you tried coach trip great way to get around. I find using local companies is best as less pick up points
I always wanted to do a wing walk on an airplane however there is a requirement to be under 9 stone so I should add being thin to wish list

Oh so many things on my bucket list, would like to travel most of all. I am looking forward to visiting a few European cities.

Hot air ballooning . And it’s booked! Just hoping for good weather and I’ll be ticking it off my list next week. I’m a bit excited.

Well, I've dangled several times from a helicopter as it was part of my job as a naval officer to land on merchant ships, and mostly it was great fun. But the one thing I'd love to do is have the time to do a cruise of the Great Loop waterways in the USA. This heads north from Florida, past NY, up to the Canadian border, through Chicago, then to the Missouri and then south to reach the Gulf of Mexico, finally ending in Florida. But I think the cost of medical insurance and two much loved cats won't allow this!

I have a bucket list of train journeys- the Nordland express & trans Siberia are at the top!

I would like to do a 7 day railtour of the UK , starting in south west ,and going up to Thurso.
Using an all line rail ticket obvious with the senior railcard discount.
Using the Penzance sleeper ,and also the caledonain sleeper as well.
But try and cover NEWS coastlines.

"I often say to DH that the presenter probably gets access to areas the general public would not be able to see anyway". You're right harrigan, but it doesn't make me feel any better about not being able to afford to visit all those wonderful wildlife places.

My bucket list wish: Costa Rica

We were talking about this just the other day and I came to the conclusion that I've done everything that I wanted to do, long before I kick the bucket.
Most people seem to have the same things on theirs, like climb a mountain (done it) or ride a camel (done it) or travel (done it).
IMHO life is short and experiences should be covered throughout, not stored up as a "wish list" that you may not have time left to achieve!
Good luck to all of you who still have things you want to do, I really hope you get to do them

I've been to a lot of places that I never thought I would see - Venice, New York, Italian Lakes etc. I'm not sure there's anywhere I'd like to go now except maybe to see The Northern Lights or travel on the Orient express. I have longed to see Michael Bublé in concert but could never get/afford tickets but now we have them I wish I'd learned to swim and drive.

I do not have a bucket list, not much interest in travelling to remote countries or bungee jumping over gorges. Travel and wildlife documentaries on the TV are so good you don't need to actually go in person to experience the scenery. I often say to DH that the presenter probably gets access to areas the general public would not be able to see anyway.

I'm more than happy now to have done what I did in the past when I was fit, and Harris, I went on the Orient Express some years ago for a Victorian Christmas celebration and the carriage I was in was called Perseus. Fantastic.
I also enjoyed the sights surrounding Sydney from the top of the Tower.

Mainland China,Singapore to name but a couple-----what more do I want ?

Present moment my wish is to remain in reasonable health to enable me to get around ( in my 79th year ) and for my family to be suitably healthy too.
As long as I've got something to eat to keep me going I don't need anything else.

I want to visit Iceland (the country, not the supermarket)

I think I am with mawbroon on the whole but I would quite like to ride a horse at some time- nothing stopping me I just need to book it and do it.
For me thing is that life keeps throwing up things that I never thought I would do so I am sorting waiting for the next thing to come along.

Nothing dramatic. Since I divorced my husband, I haven't had access to a car. I miss the day trips we used to have, walks in the countryside and days at the coast. I have always fancied buying a campervan and travelling around Britain, visiting all the places I haven't seen. Most of my childhood was spent abroad (military family), so I've seen enough of other countries.

I wish I could do long haul flights, I would really like to visit NZ.
I would also like to get a small/medium sized dog ( not possible)
Other than that, not much really, as I do much as I want to already.

Nothing, in case in chasing bucket list items, I miss the even better experiences that may come my way.

So many things I haven’t done , but on reflection, I no longer feel too bothered.
So instead of a Bucket list, perhaps I’ll just have a F** it list!

I saw Derek the weather man on tv last week, he was in New Quay , I long to go back there , walk along the Quay, see the dolphins

For years I wanted to go to the Holy Land, never will , but 58 miles and I could be in New Quay again.

Never had one - I've never wanted to do anything in particular - totally unambitious that's me

I would love to go on the orient express think I've watched too much Poirot!? I'm realising one of my bucket list items seeing rod Stewart in Newcastle July after buying his records since 1975!!!im only 59!!
