Anyone moving things up now on their to do list (bucket list) due to, well, getting older? DW & I and some friends & family are back from couple weeks of adventure travel in Bali. We got up@3AM to get to the top of a volcano at dawn, hiked rice fields, cycled through the Monkey Forrest, snorkeled and a lot more. ( Had Kopi Luwak/civit coffee for those who remember Morgan Freedman's request from The Bucket List.) But this is not a trip report, its a question about doing things now. This trip was at the edge of our energy (DW=62, I am 59) and some others of similar vintage felt that way. DW decided @59 to go sky diving.Last year at the LA travel show we moved up the schedule for rafting the Grand Canyon when we saw how much energy it takes. Later in life we may do the 'pasta tour of Italy' or pub tour of England but we are realizing that there are some things we need to do now if we are going to do them. This isn't all about travel, could be home improvement or some other activity, maybe Trombone Al needs to surf the Maverick break, but with a realization that its time to do some of the energetic things now, with slower paced things to follow.
