Bucket list

Hantshammer

Anyone have a bucket list i.e. Realistic things you would like to do before you give up the mortal coil?

Hantshammer

Amongst mine is to fly in a spitfire and see a tiger in the wild. Last year I ticked one off when I drove an e-type jaguar and today managed to get another ticked off when I saw a wild otter for the first time.

To see the Pacific Ocean. I know it's only a bit of water but for some reason I have always wanted to see it.

Colchester_Iron

I'd like to visit Rio de Janeiro.

Priced it up for the world cup. When I came round, I realised it was a rip off.


G&T with Lukerz in Westfield's.

McHammer

See a 25 a season striker at West Ham ;whistle

I ticked off one item on my list last year at the Oshkosh air show in Wisconsin- I was lucky enough to go up for a flight in a B-17.

The sound of those engines was incredible, i just cannot imagine what the sound must have been like when squadrons of them were flying overhead.

Chicago ;ok Bet that was amazing! Would love to fly in a spitfire - something iconic about WW2 planes.

I don't have anything specific, but I try to go on holiday to 2 new countries each year to see as many different cultures as possible. Cash flow means I don't always achieve it, but this year I'll be ticking off Japan and Sweden.

Base camp at Mount Everest as a minimum
Mount Everest summit as the dream

TheMadcapLaughs

Everest double glazing as a minimum
Everest "full house" including soffits and conservatory as the dream

Oh
and great wall of china and the terracotta army would be nice..........

Hantshammer

Crikey Eski-Sweden and Japan are not cheap!

eskimoking

I haven't priced up Sweden yet as doing that later the year, but yeah, Japan is costing me a bit. Always worth it though! I didn't do a gap year or an extended break from work so I always try and have a 16 night holiday somewhere and travel round the country a bit, so that's Japan this year and I'll be staying in 5 different cities. Sweden will only be a short trip, maybe 4 nights.

Other buckets pail into insignificance compared to this.

I doubt if you would choose to come to Chicago in March, but if for some reason you are within striking distance of the Windy City, let me know, in any case safe travels
;ok

Excellent choices, I'm sure you'll have a great time!

I would like to follow a British Lions tour of Australia or South Africa. Sunshine, rugby, beer, and I believe an incredible atmosphere. But next weekend I will be ticking one off my bucket list by seeing England v France at Twickenham in the six nations.

MunichHammer

I'd like to do the London Marathon. Need to train up, though, and stay fit durim winter.

SuzanneClaret

I wouldn't mind Boxing Day at the MCG to watch the ashes.
