I wrote recently that I was going to post my Bucket List. Now that WillThink4Wine says that I inspired her to post hers, it's only fitting that I should follow through with mine. We've already decided that we must be kindred spirits, but I think that was confirmed today when I saw several items from my mental bucket list that made it onto her posted one.
So here goes...
- Fall in love with the man I've waited my entire life to meet and live as close to happily-ever-after as possible.

- Publish and successfully sell at least 6 books.
- Visit Sydney, Australia.
- Tour the Greek Islands.

Wow, I'm such an underachiever!
I guess #7 is where you plan to wear that perfect little black dress, eh?
Last night I was talking to my Dad about this list, and I told him I forgot to put Greece on the list. Now I am reminded again. :-)
Dad just turned 79 and still has a few things he wants to do. So I'm adding that to my list, too. I want to do whatever I can to enable my parents to live their Bucket List.
That Alaskan cruise has always topped my list...even though I lived there when I was a child. A wise choice with Skyline Drive...it is awesome. Now about those beaches, I am ashamed to say that all three are less than two hours from me and I haven't visited a one....I have since written them down and they are now on my list.
Danielle,
Three of the best beaches within a 2-hour drive? I just have one question... when can I come visit you? LOL I know jealousy isn't a good thing, but WOW! :)
What a great list! It made me smile!
The bucket list is simply amazing. I live in Antigua and would honestly recommend you to plan a tour to Antigua and may be the list gets shortened because Antigua has everything to offer what a person wishes for. I came here as a traveler and was mesmerized with the beauty of the place and decided to buy a villa which I would say was the turning point in my life. If you want to make most of your wishes come true then do check www.elysiancaribbean.co.uk for sporting icons villas and you will be left with no other option but to buy one.
