The Bucket List

Recently, IrishFrog and I were having a discussion, and she brought up the fact that she had seen a bucket list somewhere.  I don't remember all the points that we discussed, but the basic requirements for the list were that it had to be 100 things.  The next question that came up was whether I could come up with a list of 100 things.

I felt reasonably assured that I could.  While bucket lists typically contain everything from spending time with family to unique experiences, I thought I would simply try to come up with a travel bucket list.  Some of these things are the things that I originally had in mind when I started this blog, and since, of late, I've felt that my posts needed a little more "umph", I think this will be a good diversion.

While the travel bucket list is, in and of itself, probably not that unusual, I also want to take the opportunity to explore and figure out exactly how much it will take to complete the list - in some cases, it's probably not that hard - in others, it's probably a significant layout of funds.  At least this way, as I complete the list, I will also be able to assess which ones I can afford to do, and when.

The next thing is that the list is not necessarily in any sort of order, other than the order that I happened to think about these things.  While that does mean that some things are probably higher on the list than others (i.e., they are the ones that I thought about first), I imagine that as I go through, I will find that many things are probably approximately equally appealing from my perspective.  I'm just going to number them in order of posting, and maybe at some later date, I'll organize.  Maybe.

So, next post - Bucket List item #1.
