I have heard this term used quite a few times on this forum so I thought we could share some. I wanted to record my top 5 things too because I keep forgetting them!
In no particular order:
1. Travel by air and have one of those seats the turns into a bed
2. Ride in a side-car.
3. Sky dive with D13 (when she turns 18)
4. Take a helicopter ride over something magnificent
5. Get a monkey hug. Preferrably an orangutang in Borneo. I think they'd give the best hugs!!
I plan to steal ideas from everyone else too so post away..
-
Here's a few of mine.
1. Backpack through Europe.
2. Move back to California.
3. Travel cross country by RV.

I forgot one more. I want to get a motorcycle. I'm sure there are many others.

How about a private leer jet and the "Mile High club" ;D ;D ;D ;D Sounds good to me!!!

Now you're talking in it ;D

Well....that's more like a fantasy than anything I have on a REAL list..
I guess I'd like to conquer my somewhat fear of heights.
A hot air balloon ride.
I did go up in a chopper about the size of a volkswagon once over Niagra Falls wow was that something!
I always wanted to sky dive but I'm kinda old to do that now.
I'd like to ride horses again
I want to go tubing again ( only did that once in the winter years ago)
I'd like to slow dance with a man that knows how to
I'd like to go river tubing also
I'd like to have a place of MY OWN that no man can ever kick me out of ever, ever, ever, again!

I'm going to follow this thread and possibly steal some ideas too. I started my own bucket list early this year and have gradually been working my way through them.
* Visit a beach with black sand
* Swim with dolphins
* Go on a cattle drive - got that booked more next May, learning to ride in the meantime. It's been a huge boost for my confidence so far
* Fly alone to UK to visit middle DD and expected grandchild, this one might take a while!
-
My girls did the swim with dolphins thing it was AWESOME! The whole day was..probably the best family trip I remember!
Cattle drive WOW you are a toughie!
-
It's only for three days, can't afford any more! It will challenge me on a lot of things though, sleeping in the swag, spade to dig your own loo, no showers!!!!! And three days in the saddle! I hope to be able to crawl to a shower on day 4!
-
Ohhh, swimming with dolphins. I want to do that!!! Adding it to my list ;D
-
Love the idea of the thread, Hopeandfaith - my Ds and I were talking about this last night - we have a blackboard in our kitchen and as we think of things we want to do, we pop them on. So far none of them as exciting as these! We have been thinking smaller, so that's some ideas on here that would never have crossed their minds, but swimming with dolphins has GOT to be on there :)

BTC- Crawl to the shower is about right!! 3 days in the SADDLE? I'm sure you won't be walking!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
And the dolphins- I remember I left the suntan lotion on the other side of the establishment and turned and almost said..I have to walk over to the other side of the ISLAND to get it!
I'm telling you- try to go during the week there was barely ANYBODY THERE. The pools were amazing. The whole place was very clean..there were towels rolled up and in the ladies bathroom along with soaps etc.
The SECURITY is what sold me. The girls were little and I was always worried something was going to happen to them. With the way this place was set up I wasn't worried AT ALL. THE MOST carefree day I had when they were little.
