Bucket List#1
Posted: 5/23/17 at 1:47pm

At age 70, there are but a few items remaining on my Bucket List.

Next year, I will be in London and Paris for a month-long holiday.  If I can make it through the lottery system, I hope to run/walk the London Marathon.  If not that, then the Paris "Gay Games" Half-Marathon.  And if not that, then the British London 10K.

What's on your Bucket List?

I am 56, and I have been to four continents (North America, South America, Europe, and Asia).  I'd like to make it to Africa and Australia (Antarctica? Oh, please.).

At 23, am I too young to have a bucket list?

Since you could be hit by a cab tomorrow morning, I would say no.

Of course you're not too young.  It's a "Wish List," if you prefer.  No matter where we are on our life's journey, we all can wish.  Right?

Bucket List#6
Posted: 5/24/17 at 2:52pm

At 60, I've been ticking items off my bucket list for a long long time, most of them along with my husband and life partner which makes it all the more worth it. (Yep, we've spent time in every continent but Antarctica. To relate to the OP, our stay in Australia was expressly to participate in the 2002 Gay Games there!)

But lately, we've been hitting those obligatory bucket list destinations (Machu Picchu; the Golden Triangle of India) but frankly feeling less and less rewarded with wow moments. Can it be that the world has but a finite list of must-see stops? For our next holiday, all we want to do is wander our favorite lanes in Paris and Rome-- bragging rights be damned.

I still have 11 US states to visit.  Time, please be my friend!

Bigots, business owners, corporate board members, lobbyists, and trust fund babies are voters too!

London Marathon sounds thrilling! 

In my list there is Machu Picchu first, want to show it to my sons, then to try diving and swim with sharks in Philippines, when I was there last time there was a Typhoon and it was impossible.
I also want to buy property in Tenerife https://tranio.com/spain/canary_islands/tenerife/ and settle there when I retire. It has always been my dream, I love Canary Islands, my parents live in Europe and we would be much closer.
