“If I knew I had a week to live, I would probably go to Europe…and South America…and the Grand Canyon…and I would want to see the Pacific Ocean. It would be a busy week."Like Pam, there is quite a bit I want to do yet in this life, and like Pam, I assumed there would be plenty of time to do it. Now I'm not so sure. Most of my bucket list involves travel, but not all. Please indulge me while I list some things I want to do before I die:
- See a moose in the wild
- Visit Scandinavia, especially Norway
- See the rain forest
- Learn how to throw pottery and blow glass
- Take a gastronomic trip through India
- Swim with a marine mammal
- Have an occasion to dress in a princess ballgown
- Slovenia, Slovenia, Slovenia
- Raise a chicken
- Pink Forest, Ireland and Green Lake, Austria
- Quit my job and have a successful business
- Cinque Terre, Italia
- Have an extended family vacation on the beach
- Become a grandmother
- Have a goat farm
- Live in France or Germany with my daughter
- Visit the Far East
- Have a crazy difficult hike/scramble up a mountain
- Visit Polynesia and Hawaii
- This...
Okay, the last bucket item does not need to necessarily be GC, but any funny, polite, handsome, smart, wealthy man will do. Is there a Make-A-Wish Foundation for middle-aged moms? If I live to 88, I am exactly middle age. I have, at most, 20 good traveling years in front of me, and then it's time to raise goats and have a pet chicken. So what am I waiting for? Like most people, it is too expensive, my husband is too difficult to sway, and I figure I still have time. But, the list above is not comprehensive. It's time to book the trip to Fiji, NOW!
Goats, Linda?? Goats???? Save me some cheese.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great list. Go get 'em! Thinking about you all the time.
