I love the idea but don’t particularly care for the term bucket list. I don’t know why. I don’t know if it is because the word bucket is not a very pleasing sounding word or if the association with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman is just weird. Or perhaps, I feel too young to have a “bucket list” per se. Either way I was inspired by Lesley Carter’s “Bucketlist Publications” blog pieces hyper linked below and also by a recent Christmas gift to write down some of the items I want to do in my life. My husband bought me one of those tear off daily calendars based on the book “1000 Places to see before you die.” So below is the current, as of today, ever changing list of things I would like to do. (The sooner the better!) I reserve the right to modify this list on a regular basis especially WHEN I hit the lottery!

Oh, I love your list! Some of them are exactly the same as my dream vacations. We’ll have to keep blogging, so if one of us hits stuff on the others’ list first, we can tell the tale, ha ha! Good luck on your lottery winnings.

Glad to see Australia on your list. Thanks for visiting my blog and I hoped you enjoyed experiencing a bit of the Aussie experience.
I don’t have a bucket list as such either although I do want to get to Ireland and I’d like to go to Paris particularly with my 8 year old daughter who is desperate to go up the Eiffel Tower.

I love this but truthfully i may not to get to do it cuz I had survived lung cancer 2x’s and it’s back and i have only 30 % of my lungs left , too little to cut and i barely can breathe one block .so do it guys. I was reading an art book I bought in 1968 when i went to Europe at 20,the only chance I had. It was at the jeu de paume where I saw a van gogh and felt my heart rip out I just started crying cuz i can feel that moment. and I hate him for it.too.so 46 years later I read the book again and I can remember the debate I had to spend 30$ on an art book, less than a $ a year. i like our art period better, so diverse, I feel blessed that about 10 years ago I was very suicidal abd depressed and I painted all the bad things into funny good memories but I really know how sad they were but I found my Muse and it’s amazing I want to and I do paint things that can change the world so my artist friends are the joys in my life. so 1-2-3- Jump into my bucket and let’s go. b
