Congrats! One of my sisters told me tonight that her boyfriend just became an Eagle Scout. I think that's a really valuable thing. My dad never made it that high. He was a life scout.

I don't see why not.

Over the last 2 years, I've clicked several things off my bucket list:
See the pyramids
See Ephesus
See Pompeii
Live in a foreign country
Go on a Mediterranean cruise
Have friends from every continent on the globe

so I've had to re-work my list. Here goes (as I'm thinking of them so no particular order)
Tour India on the Palace on Wheels
Live in the tropics
Live in Europe
Sell super luxury travel (I'm up to near-luxury clients now)
Speak another language fluently (I used to speak French and I can do reasonably well with Spanish. I have maybe 10 words in Arabic)
Take a world cruise
Be a House Mom
learn how to bake bread (it's the tragedy of my life - I'm a great cook but the only kind of bread I can make is brioche)

[Tulip86]

1. get my Master's Degree
2. get my French back to fluent
3. Learn a fifth language fluently
4. travel Jordan/Syria/Lebanon
5. visit New York
6. Road trip around the southern states
7. see the pyramids
8. find the place where I had that amazing brisket
9. Learn to surf
10. See the grand canyon
11. Get over my fear of open water and learn to dive
12. Find a job that I love
13. Take photography classes
14. Write a cookbook
15. Volunteer more

Hmmm... my list is always evolving.

One item on my bucket list that I recently accomplished was to get a cat. I went from my parents' house (they didn't want pets) to the dorms (no pets allowed) and then moved in with my husband, who is allergic to cats ... but we learned about Siberian cats earlier this year, and now own an adorable flamepoint kitten. (Or, rather, he owns us...)

I want to travel to Australia, New Zealand, Eastern Europe, and Israel. (I've already been to much of western Europe and parts of Asia). I also want to visit those Canadian provinces I haven't already visited. Visiting all 50 states was on my bucket list, but I accomplished that at age 14.

I want to learn how to drive stick, how to ride a motorcycle, and how to ride a bicycle. (I think I'm the only person I know who didn't learn how to ride a bike as a child.)

I want to go back to London. Haven't been there in over a decade (i.e. before the Millennium Wheel was constructed), and my husband has never been there. And I want to rent a car there, and drive on the wrong side of the road and not get ticketed for it. hehehe

I want to see Evanescence, Linkin Park, and Within Temptation in concert.

And I'd love to travel in space ... a trip to the moon at minimum. But I doubt this will happen.
