  • I've gone to NYC a few times for the ball drop - we went to Time Square one year and I would NEVER recommend anyone put themselves through that hell! :-O
    @uncharted01  LOL I was going to say the same thing.  I went once back in the 90's.  It was the worst experience ever.  I can't even imagine going now.  Once you are in there you are in.  There is no in and out.  I have a lot more fun watching it on the tv haha

    I too lived in NYC for 16 years, and never once saw the ball drop, the Thanksgiving parade or other nightmare events.  For NYE - you have to get there super early and you can't leave to pee or whatever.  Plus, it's f-ing cold.  I would much rather be inside, drinking some excellent wine and champagne.

    Mine would be to live in London for a year or more, have a beach house for an entire summer, and to go on one of these swim vacations where you are with a group and you swim from tropical island to tropical island.

  • @lisaren sorry lol... Ok how about we go this route...It's most likely a better experience for visitor's and not for those that live here lol.

    The parade is actually better and easier than the ball drop... though I work the parade every year so I might be a little biased haha..it's a lot more organized ...and not at night with freezing temps lol (even though this year was brutally cold)

  • It's so neat to see everyone's lists. I've never really given a bucket list too much thought to be honest, but there are of course some things I'd like to accomplish.

    - Go to Scotland
    - Go back to England
    - Go on a Henry VIII or equally nerdy historical tour
    - Travel Europe
    - Take an Alaska cruise with DH
    - Travel across Canada with my kids to show them our country
    - Build a cottage and retire to it
    - Be a great mom
    - Be happy (not that I'm not happy now, but I just want to be happy)

  • Okay, here's mine:

    Take a trip to Africa ( DH parents are from there)
    Take the kids on vacation to Puerto Rico (I am P.R and the kids have never been)
    (Hold your breath for this one)
    Threesome with DH for fun no other man involved ;)
    Spend a year in Hawaii
    Learn Arabic ( just think it's pretty cool)
    Publish my own Poetry Anthology









    :D
  • One of the ways i realized i was depressed a few years back was I realized i didn't have a list anymore. I had no future dreams. I made a bucket list in high school, but couldn't remember anything from it, and really didn't desire too. I'm doing better now, but still have t made a list. I'm going to sit down and work on it now :)

    A few things on it I remember and want to do are to visit every continent except Antarctica, and to see every state. I've only been in North America and to 7 states (west coast problems), so I've got a ways to go. I'm getting inspired by you all!
  • This is awesome! I haven't really thought too much about a "bucket list" but here's a few things I can think of:

    Build my dream home

    Learn to surf

    Go to every warm tropical place with a beach that I can think of (too many to list)

    Have a second home in Hawaii

    Raise at least one or two beautiful children

    Start my own business so I don't have to work for people anymore

    Climb to the top of Machu Picchu

    Learn to dive (started a small dive in Thailand and it was AMAZING! need to get certified!)

    I'm sure there are so many more, but it's nice to think about it and get some things written down!

    Oh and all of you that want to come to Alaska and if you get the chance and need info, let me know, I've lived here for 15 years :-)

     

  • Oooh, this is an awesome thread. I haven't really written down a bucket list but here are some of the things I wanna do:

    Visit Australia
    Learn Spanish
    Be a congress man (don't really say this one out loud, but since Iceland is a small country it's not out of the realms of possibilities)
    Get to a healthy weight, and stay that way
    Marry my fiance :)
    Visit all continents except Antarctica (cause that's just not how I roll)
    Build my own house with a HUGE walk-in closet
    Learn ballroom dancing - preferably with FI (not likely)
    Go to Spain, Italy and USA (especially Hawaii)
    Be financially comfortable and raise my kids to be savers instead of spenders.
    See a play in London
    Live to be a great grandma and have FI by my side

    Really @wildflower75‌? How so they like it?! The benefits for this job are ludicrous: fully paid furnished housing, health & dental, free flight home for vacation, flights out here when moving, monthly transportation allowance, school fees for the kiddos...they make it very tempting.
    Yes, they love it! And they are always telling me about how I should move there- the great pay, benefits etc... And apprently it's very beautiful over there...
