I am not sure if you have all seen the movie about a "bucket list"? Essentially the movie is about a list of things to do before you die ("kick the bucket").
My friends and I have had many interesting conversations and there is one prominent conclusion we often reach... But why have I not done that yet?
Here are three items from my bucket list - I would love to hear some of yours!
Learn to fly a plane
Eat a meal at The Fat Duck Restaurant
Have children
It is in the UK, about 45-50 minutes outside London (I don't live in the United Kingdom, by the way). It holds 3 Michelin stars and was voted the best restaurant in the world in 2005 and is consistently recognised as one of the best. It is known for food that plays with your pyschology with dishes like Bacon and Egg icecream. Strange stuff, indeed.
Hmmm, sounds interesting. Maybe I'll jump on my Lear jet and head over there for lunch tomorrow!
1. Sky-dive
2. Visit the USA
3. Publish a book
Visit Spain
Visit India
Visit Hawaii
Hmmm, seems to be a running (or traveling as it were), theme here.
oh heck, I'll throw in #4 just to break the thread I started...Have my children's books published.
1. Visit the Underground River in Palawan, Philippines.
2. Visit some of the waterfalls I know in the Philippines.
3. Finish planting in my garden.
The underground river is being added to my list right now. Sounds fantastic.
see the painted desert
see the Grand Canyon
Visit Stonehenge
Please tell me more about this painted desert?
1. Do everythng on my bucket list.
2. Wash the bucket.
3. Start a new list.
Most of the stuff in my bucket won't need it to be washed out. What dirty stuff have you all got in that bucket list?
1) Raise a child
2) Visit space
3) Donate an unreasonable amount of money to a random but worthy cause
Who knows, if you round up enough cash, all three are possible. I just wonder which of the three will be most expensive... I suspect raising a child
1) Save someone's life.
2) Swim with a dolphin.
3) Ride a zip line.
All sound awesome - let us know when you have completed them each!
