Happy Saturday!
The kids are getting ready to head out for the annual Pumpkin Fest in a neighboring town. There will be vendors, tractor rides, hayrides—that sort of thing. I used to go to it every year, but these days, I avoid crowds as much as possible. Plus, I don’t have the energy to traipse around a field. I’ll stay at home and try to get some work done since today feels like it will be a “good” day for me. I have today and tomorrow to work, and then Monday is Chemo Day. So, next week is toast.
I saw the picture in the puzzle, and it reminded me that I had a bucket list before all this started. I did have a few places left in the world I still wanted to see. My dd and I have always wanted to do a “foodie tour” of India—we love Indian food. I’ve always wanted to go to Iceland, Bali, or Tahiti. I wanted to revisit Ireland, Germany, and France. If the world weren’t so nuts, I would’ve loved to head to Turkey and Egypt. I’m extremely lucky to have traveled extensively when I was younger. So, I’m not bummed about the fact I likely won’t get to tick off any of those destinations.
Right now, I’d be happy with another road trip to New Orleans. That’s doable, I think.
For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, tell me whether you have a bucket list. Your list doesn’t have to be ambitious or for far-flung places. Have fun with it!

I can’t say I have exactly had a bucket list per se. Thought about a revisit to Berlin, or seeing Australia, but the older I get, and the more I read or watch, I have come to appreciate the “arm chair” method of travel. No crowds. No airplanes. It fits my budget. I’m good.

I liked to visit Ireland again. What I’d like to do most right now is a cruise where I never get off but enjoy the scenery and can have fun and be pampered.

I do have a bucket list, it’s small. I want to go to Hersey Pennsylvania to the car museum to see the 1948 Tucker exhibit (my favorite car). Sky diving, but I don’t want to go tandem. The Flight 93 memorial in Pennsylvania and a lot of lighthouses. I 💜 lighthouses.

I have a bucket list, but it ebbs and ways most of the time. I would love to go to Ireland, Scotland, Belgium, but then I also want to go to Tahiti and BoraBora, but then I wan to see the the Grand Canyon too. But then I agree with Pansy, the arm chair method of travel is so much easier. Most days I go with the flow and at least try and keep the house clean and the laundry done. LOL. Wishing peace to all.

Can’t exactly say I have a bucket list. I have a list of places I would love to travel and see. Netherlands 🇳🇱, Germany 🇩🇪, Scotland, Ireland, 🇮🇪 , and England are least. Lots of places in US also. Geography minor.

Don’t have an actual bucket list. I would like to see some of the U.S. besides New England. There is a few things i would like to do but with the things going on in my life i’m not sure if i ever will.

I have a few things on it that I would like to do…

I have never had a written bucket list but I have always wanted to travel to Greece and Italy. Course there are many destinations here in the US that a road trip with fun folks would be a fantastic time as well.

3:46 – no bucket list, but some ideas of what I’d like to do.

Disneyworld is on the schedule with the family for next year – I haven’t been there for 30+ years. I’d lo love a cruise to Alaska, and a trip to Ireland (to see where my Dad’s Family lived in the North) and to England where some of my Mom’s ancestors were from.

I have a short bucket list…I’ve done some things that would have been on the list as a younger person.

no

I do have a bucket list and left on it is China, but it is not a place to visit right now.
Comment
No real bucket list other than living life to the fullest I can for as long as I can.
Comment
I would love to visit many Asian countries. I don’t know if it’s on a bucket list or not.
Comment
I don’t have a literal list, but I do have places I would love to see and some things I would like to learn and practice… So I guess that’s probably a bucket list, LOL!
Comment
I no longer add to a bucket list. Alas, I started transferring things from there to an Unbucket List containing stuff I don’t think I’ll ever get to do again: places I doubt I’ll get back to visit, people to get with who have since passed on, new projects to start. Still there is one thing in the basket I refuse to remove and that is going back to NYC. It’s been 30 years since I was last there. A lot has changed both in the city and with me. I could never do the walking involved I used to do (physically) and that sucks.
