My Bucket List - What I want To Accomplish

Featured_grownups asks, "What are the things you want to accomplish, experience, enjoy, endure during your time on this earth?"

I have fewer years ahead of me than I have behind me, so my list may not be as ambitious as some. Anyway, here are a few of the things (in no particular order) I would like to do with the time I have left on this earth.

  1. Get my eyes lasered
  2. Take an Alaskan Cruise
  3. See Australia and New Zealand
  4. Take a Driving Tour of the Entire United States
  5. Learn to Fly a Sail Plane

Take a driving tour of the entire United States sounds like quite an adventure. We drove from Minnesota to Louisiana to move and that was quite a drive!

Some nice goals,  number four sounds very interesting.

I am hoping to do number 3 someday with my parents and if my sister wants to come with us as well.

Excellent! I should have added a driving tour of the U.S. That would be so great!

Dear Susan,

I'm always grousing about travel, and I have a ton of vacation time saved up. I've been seriously thinking of driving Route 66 in a couple of years. Maybe even get a small motor home to do it in. I know I could take the time off from work.

I must say, learning how to fly, even a sail plane, is an admirable goal. I hope you make all of them.

Sounds darn lofty to me, my friend. And I think you'll do it, too!

I would love to take a driving tour of the U.S. I've been able to travel a lot of different places in the U.S. but mostly by airplane, which I think really makes you miss out on a lot of the beautiful places the country has to offer. Great post :)

Good stuff! I'm always up for traveling, although I'm not sure about sail planing. I think that one would freak me out, possibly. But I can see where this would afford you a fantastic perspective of the earth. :)

Cool. My brother and sister-in-law went on an Alaskan cruise, and their photos were amazing.

I thought of laser surgery also but then quickly recalled what a chicken I am. I don't think that a person is ever too old to set a new goal but then again sanity was never one of my virtues. I did enjoy your entry.
