How many items have you ticked off your bucket list?
So far I’ve managed New York, Venice and the North face of the Eiger. The northern lights and the Matterhorn still to go.

Pray what is a bucket list Di?? Xx
It’s all the things you would like to do and places you would like to go before you die Don xx
New York, LA, the Maldives, Hawaii (watching humpback whales,) the Outer Hebrides (campervanning,) meeting David Duchovny (11 times!) Would really love to travel across the Rockies on a train but I doubt my health will allow it now.🙂🌸
Hand feed an elephant, when I did my elephant experience we were separated by the bars but I threw some food down which was quickly eaten by them, also a trip to America for a, star trek convention, been to 2 in this country which I really enjoyed
Great experiences! 🙂🌸
I would like a trip to America to meet a dear friend, a trip to the peak district and the lake district and to see my elder brother in Australia one last time, sadly, I know none of these will ever happen😕
Oh, don't say that. You really never know. Sending a hug. 🙂🌸
Thank you Marnie🙂
🙂🌸

Perhaps you could manage a few days in the Peak District once we are allowed out of hibernation and you’ve got your eyes sorted xx
You never know what might happen, you can always dream. I hope that you catch up on face time. I'd love to go to Australia and New Zealand. I'm lucky enough to have been to the US and Canada a number of times. Beautiful countries. X
I would love to go to the U.K . go to Morocco . 😄
• in reply toHb2003
I've been to Morocco, Casablanca but only for one day so I didn't get to see much.
What I did see was nice enough.

Jacqui and I decided we would like to arrange ours by biomes (eh?) and geological features. So far we have managed:
Tropical rainforest (Ecuador, Venezuela, Trinidad),
Desert (Arizona, Venezuela ([Araya Peninsula], Egypt),
Glacier (Alaska, Alberta [Athabasca]),
Temperate rain forest (British Columbia)
Pitch lake and mud volcano (Trinidad)
High altitude (Andes)
Volcano crater (Grenada, Hawai'i)
Deep-sea floor -- a.k.a. ophiolite (Troodos Mountains, Cyprus)
Granite batholith (Nova Scotia, Canada)
Coral reef (Barbados)
One missing is savannah (not the city in Georgia -- we've done that). Where to do that? We have, by the way, travelled the entire way across Canada by railway. I would love to repeat that, but expense precludes.
WOW! Some list Brent, is there anything left to do??
Not really, I am very contented, and delighted at having so many memories to talk about with Jacqui, who kept meticulous journals of all our holidays. I am so glad she decided we should spend our excess money on experiences, not belongings.
I forgot to mention the Grand Canyon. How could I miss that?
Hello BrentW
The Grand Canyon was great years ago, now the south rim is so crowded that they just give about one minute to let tourists rotate 20 deep to fence overlooking Grand Canyon. Blessings.
We saw it when visiting Arizona in March. The weather was blisteringly cold. Thankfully, that meant that the viewing site we visited was quiet. I could not believe the scale of it. I recall peering through a telescope and seeing a building (a hotel?) on the canyon floor. I was left speechless; I could barely see it with me naked eye, and my vision is still marvellous.
That sounds marvellous. I thought of finishing off the last remaining capital cities of Europe. Have done London, Edinburgh, Belfast, Dublin, Oslo, Helsinki, Stockholm, Paris, Rome, Tallinn, etc. We have a motorhome now, but not many years left to do it xx

• in reply toVeteran250
Oh no. Lady downstairs is 94! She went all over the world with her late husband who was in the RAF. She wants to go back to Malta on her bucket list.

We are on our second Hymer. Usually have 6 months away at a time

It's a good way to travel and see things, 6 months at a time would be excellent.

We had a yacht before but you only saw the edges. We love it

It's a great lifestyle.
Hi Hylda, Well done for ticking off so many of your must-do's. I don't actually have a list, because I found I'd have one there for a while and then decide it was unrealistic and replace it with something else. And so on, without managing many of them. So I just make sure I grab the opportunity to try what is within grasp and wring the last drop of enjoyment from the experience.One of my ambitions was to swim with manatees. No, I never did manage to, sadly. But I did unexpectedly have an 'up-close and personal' experience with several of them in South America, and realised it was the manatees that were at the heart of my wish and not the swimming with them!
Good luck with achieving the rest of yours! 👍😊

Not even going to the end of the road in this weather! 🙄
Hello Hylda
I have so many things in my bucket list that I will ever do them all and that is all right. Blessings.
Hell Hylda
I really enjoy history and great vistas. I have been to many countries in Europe, but always come back sad because no matter how much I see, I also miss a lot. I now prefer to travel in USA as I can take my time and discover hidden gems.
