I would love to visit all 50 states. I’d also like there to be a theme throughout - like, see a baseball game in each state, or drink a beer at the oldest bar in each state, or run a race in each state, or something.
We are working on becoming 46ers - climbing all 46 High Peaks in the Adirondacks.
I have been studying Spanish on and off for years and my goal is to become fluent. Not sure if that’s even possible anymore at my age (55) but nevertheless it’s on my bucket list.
I am a big fan of travel. I’d love to do a Spain trip with cooking lessons, and I’d love to do some watercolor workshop trips. My Chinese ink painting trip was going to organize a weeklong trip to Huangshan in China for the fall of 2019, she got sick and then of course Covid put a wrench in any future plans.
Hikes I’d like to do:
West Highland Way in Scotland
Hadrian’s Wall northern England
It looks like there are some beautiful hikes in Australia
I’d love to sail around the areas where the Swallows and Amazons did, sadly DH gets seasick.
Do bucket list items have to be in the realm of the possible? Because I would like to be in the ensemble in a production of Hamilton. Also have thin ankles.
Love the theme idea for travel too! Mathmom the ‘hikes in different areas’ sounds great - accessible and fun - really engaged in the natural enviroment vs. doing more passive drive-bys.
That could also motivate me to get in stronger physical shape…planning for a hiking bucket list!
We’ve done this with multi-sport trips. Mostly focused on biking, but included hiking, kayaking, white water rafting, and once a helicopter ride for hiking from remote mountain lodge. We’ve really enjoyed all of them. They are generally not cheap though.
I have a couple of sports related things… but the teams need to cooperate!
I’d like to attend a cleveland Guardians (Indians) playoff game, and also a Cleveland Browns playoff game. And a World Series or Super Bowl came into play, I would try very hard to get tickets!
Both teams made the playoffs in 2020….not a good year to go to either.
My list is mostly travel related. I would love to go back to Itay and spend 1-2 weeks in cities that we visited and enjoyed (Florence and Venice). A friend of mine did a multi-day cooking class in Venice, which I’d love to do. Second item–would like to do a hike on the GR 5–I don’t have time to do the entire route, but would love hiking a section in France. Finally, I want to go to Japan; I’ve never been there or anywhere in Asia. My husband was an exchange student in Tokyo years and years ago and he really wants to go back as well.
It sounds strange coming from “a nice Jewish girl” but on my bucket list is walking the Camino de Santiago - and I’d really like to do the full version, continuing on to include Camino Finisterre - I’m very into meditation (more than 40 years) and I think this walk would elevate my practice.
Before the pandemic, we were on a good clip traveling and hiking and in good physical health. In 2020, we had planned a trip to Portugal and a trip to hike in Banff. I have been trying to plan something for 2022 and both these destinations would cost twice as much to go now. Thinking of other locations, Costa Rica, Cabo, Germany but again $$. We might have to stay local for a while and drive around. Still on my list is
of course Portugal and Banff
Iceland
Machu Picchu
New Zealand
Germany
South Pacific cruise
Costa Rica
Galapagos- but I don’t think I could handle the journey. I would get sea sick.
Someone mentioned upthread 3 months living in Italy. It would be Italy or Portugal once we retire.
Pacific Northwest including San Juan Islands
Back to the Grand Canyon - we didn’t see it properly the last time.
Move to a home with a view - mountains or water.
A black cat, once my Bengal crosses the rainbow bridge because she does not like to share and I want her to stay happy.
Additional items: Walking the length of Hadrian’s Wall; sailing among the Polynesian Islands (with no time constraints) with occasional stops to snorkel and/or scuba dive; horseback tours/safaris of the Okavango Delta and/or various national parks in Africa.
If I get to do just one of the above, I will go out on a good note!
I did this 4 years ago. It was really fun walking and talking with people from around the world. Most people were not religious, but were doing the Camino for the adventure, the camaraderie, the scenery and to think/meditate.
