Saturday Puzzle-Contest: Bucket List
Saturday, October 5th, 2024

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.

    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.

    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.

    No real bucket list other than living life to the fullest I can for as long as I can.

    I would love to visit many Asian countries. I don’t know if it’s on a bucket list or not.

    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!
