Saturday Morning Post - The Travel Bucket List

Doc Spo, recently posted about his bucket list, or bucket lists in general. This started me thinking about my bucket list, or rather my lack of a list.  I don't have this written down anyplace.  

We have most of the things we could ever want or need.  So this is more about experiences. 

I want to ride in a hot air balloon, and if commercial supersonic flight comes back before I die, I want to do that. At that point I will have flown about everything that flies. Not bad, my father was born the year Lindbergh flew the Atlantic.    

I want to go to:

Asia more specifically Japan and South Korea. 

Scandinavia.

Northern and Southern Italy, I have seen the middle of the country, I want to see a little more. 

Portugal. 

Scotland. 

Idaho and Wyoming - the only two states I have not been to.  

I would like to return to Hawaii, Alaska, and Iceland.  It looks like I may have a work trip to Hawaii this year.  

I will always seize the opportunity to return to Great Britain, France, Italy, Greece, and Germany. 

I would like to ride a slow train across the USA. 

I would like to drive across the country. 

I would like to see more of Canada.  The maritimes,  BC, the prairie provinces.  (Maybe tie that in with long train rides.)   

Let's face it I have wanderlust and will seldom turn down an opportunity to travel.  

There are places I don't care to return to.  Much of the deep south in the USA, Alabama to Texas, and as far north as Arkansas and Tennessee. I have been there, seen that and don't need to see it again.  

There are places I don't care to travel to.  South America, China, India, the middle east, and Russia.  My interest in seeing things there is more than outweighed by the challenges of going there. 

It would be fun to see more of the caribbean, maybe a few cruises, if Cuba reopens I would go.  

We have no idea how long until we kick the bucket, but as long as I can, whenever the opportunity presents itself, I will go.  Even the most miserable place I have ever been (Fayetteville, North Carolina) was a rewarding trip and I have no regrets (wonderful people in a dreadful place.)
