Do you have one? I don't, but thinking I would like one. I need to be more goal oriented. I know these are personal and everyone has different interests. But would like to see what others have on their list. Would you share if you have one?
Thanks

I started a list of 40 things to do after I turned 40. Items I already completed are earn a College degree (completed age 45), go whitewater rafting (completed age 48), working on visiting all 50 US states. I've got more, but they are more personal. I tend to add to my list as I hear something and think "I should try/do that."

I will use this thread to start a list of places I'd like to travel to. They always float around in my mind but the trips are more likely to happen with a list! Thanks.

I was an Army Brat so have a good start. |

I really don't have one.
Well except to invent a transporter, so traveling would a breeze.

No, I don't have a bucket list. There are just too many fantastic experiences in life, some you wouldn't even think even exist to put on a bucket list. I find it better to just throw myself open to all new experiences. It's worked for me so far.
And, honestly, the list the things I don't want to do in life would be much shorter than any bucket list.

My bucket list is almost all travel. We just haven't had the money to do very much and travel is my life long dream. Our finances are improving, so I should be able to cross Europe off my list in a few years.  |

My bucket list is truly exactly what I want to do before I kick the bucket:
-I want to get all my photos scrapped and my memorabilia organized. Then I want to sit back and enjoy going through the albums and reliving my life. I am about half way to that goal
-I want to go with my husband to Hawaii - hopefully for our 30th anniversary next year.
-I want to live at the beach somehow, someway when I downsize. I recently did an exercise another pea suggested and I immediately saw myself at about 75 or 80, a bit thinner, hair gone natural, living in a small beach cottage location drinking tea.
-I'd like to visit the Tenement Museum, the Holocaust Museum, and Boston
-I wanted to tour the White House but that isn't on my list anymore. I had tickets a few years ago and then some fence climber caused a stop to tours and we couldn't go.
-I want to buy a Honda or Toyota and have it last me the rest of my driving life. |

My husband and I made them 10 years ago and recently stumbled upon them. It bummed me out a bit that I hadn't done any of them, but my medical issues made it impossible.
Here's my list:
- Visit Japan
- Have a dog that has a litter of puppies.
- Go to Brimfield antique show.
- Go to a Winter Olympics (my husband's company was one of the biggest sponsors of the Beijing Olympics and I'm so bummed I wasn't able to go when we had the opportunity).
- Cruise to Alaska.
- Design and build our dream house.
- Stay in a bunch of castles while visiting Europe.
- See the panda bears in Cheng Du.
I've added visit Cuba to my list.

I don't have a bucket list, but I am almost always up for fun things that come my way. While I am not the most sporty person, I will ride any roller coaster, zipline anywhere, and venture into any cave, body of water, or interesting spot in front of me. I have a few NOPE items such as jumping out of a plane or eating things that would make me vomit.

I've already completed a few, like my education goals, so now my bucket list is a list of places to see before I die. We have prioritized travel over the next few years while DH is in good enough health to do the more serious travel.

When I turned 40, I made a list of things I wanted to do. I'm a huge goal setter-have been my entire life. At that time I hadn't heard of the words bucket list, but I guess that's what it was. This year I turned 60 and realized I'd done everything on my list. Some of the things were:
See a sunset on the west coast
Ride a cable car halfway to the Stars (nighttime San Francisco)
Hawaii (and other travel destinations)
Snorkel a coral reef
Ride a horse across an open plain
Ride in a helicopter
Start my own business
Move to another state
Grandchildren (a hope, not a goal)
Learn to knit
I'm going to Cuba in March, and I would still like to get to Scotland and England, but other than that I feel like I've pretty much checked off goals.

Loved the Tenement Museum, by the way The White House wasn't in my list but I did get to go -- and saw Condoleeza Rice standing beside us in the lobby! I also want to get my photos organized now. I have them in one place, finally. Will you scan yours or use the originals to save? |

I probably won't scan them although I have been adding my ancestor ones to ancestry.com but I don't know how many years I'll be able to afford that. I usually scrap the originals. I have quite a few years of photos saved on CDs and an external hard drive too. |

I am making a little scrapbook of my bucket list. I am going to put paper or other things in it and as I do each thing I will put a photo of it as I check things off.
-So far I have opened my eyes at the beach to see the sunrise
-Seen the Statue of liberty - took a ferry to Ellis Island but that was on my list for decades
-Seen the Grand Canyon - my mom paid for us to take a small plane over it and it was amazing
-Seen Radio City Music Hall Rockettes Christmas show - just did that
-Skate at Rockefeller Center - this one I only half did - I went to the rink but the line was too long to skate but I am checking it off since I may never get back there at the holidays to do that.
