What's Your Bucketlist?

[nefertiti]

i hope that's the very last destination

lol...nah...gotta do that one while I'm still fit and strong!

I'd settle for the El Caminito del Rey walkway in spain, but I'd MUCH rather do Mt Huashan.

Which one, hushuan or el caminito?

El caminito was a walkway between waterfalls for laborers. the paths to the peaks of Mt. hua shan were probably for religious reasons. Part of the path is called "the heavenly stairs," and there are a variety of temples on the peaks of the mountain. I have only a vague understanding of chinese culture but i know they place religious significance on their natural wonders.

By the way, though those pictures of the huashan trail don't show it, on that narrow walkway that's on the side of a cliff, there are now mountain climbing wires for you to clip onto, much like on the el caminito trail (though just for that walkway part). I'd definitely harness in for that part.

well, by looking at yalls list, I don't give a shit about much...

1. I always wanted to go to Munich for Octoberfest. (but now I'm older, I don't thik that I'd like the crowds)
2. I'd like to go back to Hawaii ( but the airports and the plane ride for 6 hours was hell)
3. I used to want to go to Mardi Gras (see #1)
4. I want to go to Rio for Carnaval (but now I'm married)
lets see, I don't drink, don't do drugs, hate crowds or waiting in line. I'm not going to do anything that may kill me, got a kid now.
5. I think that going fishing in Costa Rica would be fun.
I can't think of anything really, I like to eat at Aw Shucks on Greenville in Dallas. I'd like to go back there at least once.
last, but not certainly least:
6. get invited to AAP's famous hat party. (but I'm not sure, I think that you have to be gay, idk.)

We eat there all the time. So when you comin over?

I used to have a list very similar to several posters before me:

1. Galapagos, Machu Pichu, Great Wall, Taj Mahal, Grand Canyon, etc.

I've done a lot of things that I never really thought about doing before I did them though, fitness/swimwear/commercial model, radio show, children's and adult books, big all "big and bad and intimidating" in business meetings (LMFAO - I am STILL chuckling over this last one), had the balls to move to a foreign country with nothing and knowing no one, not even the primary language and actually began to succeed, stood up to a crazy judge who shouted me down and had me hand-cuffed and still timid me absofuckinglutely refused to sit down - yea I was stuttering and crying and even begging but I did NOT shut the fuck up about my kids.... I've gotten a copyright and a trademark and had a small showing of my artwork in Paris, France in a really tiny place in the backyard of the Louvre. I even managed to find a good man to love who loves me too...

But now my list is really simple.

I just want to hold my children. I want to be a REAL mother again.

All I EVER wanted out of life was to be a good wife and a good mother. It seems that both elude me no matter what I do.

-Have a sick weekend in Tahiti
-Go to Egypt
-Go to vegas with like 10 grand (never been to vegas, surprisngly)
-GO back to austrailia
-live somewhere in western europe for a year or two and learn a language
-Go to Antarctica, so i can finally be able to say "I've been to every continent"

Ever bother making a list of things you definitely want to do before you check out?

I've got some basics in mind (in no particular order):

1. Travel across the U.S. by car.
2. Ride down the Grand Canyon on a mule.
3. See the:
A) Redwood forest;
B) Golden Gate Bridge;
C) Painted Desert;
D) Mt. Rushmore;
E) Aurora borealis.
4. Vacation in Key West.
5. Vacation in Oregon.

I've done everything on your list except Key West and the Grand Canyon, I hiked it. You should add hiking Glacier National Park to your list.

My list is a little more basic, find a decent wiminz.

Musclemom - driving from Dallas/Ft Worth to CA and back was more than enough for any one lifetime and it was hardly pleasurable!

Did I mention that my Old Grump and I drove from NJ to Dallas/Ft Worth just DAYS after we married?

So technically I did drive across the US just not in one shot and I have to tell you that NEITHER experience was one that I would care to remember... EVER.

Matter of fact I really don't get how my marriage remained intact after either experience! (not kidding)

I'm convinced vacations/trips are the test of a relationship. It's easy to get along when you have your space but when you're trapped together for days or weeks...
