Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Yeah, that’s what has been keeping us away.The remaining item on my bucket list is the Northern Lights but it is tricky as I hate cold weather.

Bob Seeger would be proud of you.If I ever get out of here,
I'm going to Katmandu!![]()
So would Robert Clark Seger. Don't know Robert Seeger.Bob Seeger would be proud of you.
An easier trip is Winslow Arizona (such a fine sight to see.)
I don't get Disney either. I once lived in Orlando for six months and never went there....
I've been to Disneyland but even if I had not, I would not put Disney World in my top list. And please, tell me what is special about Bora Bora relative to many other tropical islands with stunning blue water and hotel runs on stilts?

Heh, heh, I was thinking we decided spelling didn't count, but thanks for your correction.So would Robert Clark Seger. Don't know Robert Seeger.

Hawaii and "Europe" were both on my mom's bucket list. She and my dad finally went to Hawaii ~1985 when she was 55 and went about 5 times before she died, including twice with us. I've stayed on Maui, Kauai, Oahu and the Big Island and the latter is my favorite. Hawaii was one of my bucket list items as a child and I first went in 1987, and it is indeed paradise. Our last trip last December and January checked off a lot of bucket list items (second time seeing the manta rays, kayaking, going to the top of Mauna Kea, and staying in both Hilo and Kona areas). We skipped Volcanoes, as we stayed there previously in 2018.Surprised there aren't more entries for Hawaii.
kcowan mentioned Hanauma Bay Oahu. (I prefer Captain Cook bay on the Big Island for snorkeling but there are a lot of unique places in Hawaii.) It's not just about the near perfect weather and lots of beaches.
We have "walk in" volcanoes (Volcanoes National Park)
Sunrise atop Haleakala - the moonscape surrounding the summit is not to be missed - hiking at 10,000 feet. On a clear day, you can see most of the other Islands. Truly stunning.
USS Arizona memorial and Pearl Harbor (USS Missouri, USS Bowfin, Ford Island and Aviation Museum.)
Molokini Crater snorkeling off Maui
Pali Lookout Oahu
H3 - perhaps the most expensive stretch of "Interstate" Highway in the USA and like taking a helicopter ride through the Ko'olau mountains.
8 of the Earth's 13 climate zones on Big Island. For instance, the transition from tropical rain forest to arid desert can be experienced by driving around a corner.
South Point of the USA (Big Island) has some unique trees that are bent almost 90 degrees due to the near constant winds.
Heh, heh, I could go on (and on.) I still haven't seen everything.
Yeah, some of Hawaii is "spoiled" by tourism but much of it is more like Niagara Falls tourism rather than Wisconsin Dells or Disney Land tourism. As always, YMMV.
I'm not a pilot but I'm a "Car-Guy".I have only thing left to totally complete my bucket lists. I am going to make arrangements to fly a DC-3 some time in the near future.
J have already piloted an L-29 jet trainer, a P-51, a B-25, and a MiG=15 Korean War jet.
Well, I could do that too,I think Bill B. just completed his bucket list. Bill Belichick, 72, Makes Red Carpet Debut With Girlfriend Jordon Hudson, 24, in New York City
Yer rite.Heh, heh, I was thinking we decided spelling didn't count, but thanks for your correction.
Me too, I type, post and move on... Sometimes I'll read my past posts and see all my typos and grammatical mistakes. Oh well, seomtiems i gusse "eye" jtus do'nt geiv a dmam.Yer rite.
I don't care about others spelling, but I hate to make a post and then that see I spelled something wrong.
I know a guy that's been to Winslow and been on the Marrakesh Express, and one other odd song place from the 70's. That would be a better way for me to build a bucket list.Bob Seeger would be proud of you.

Well, I’ve been to Georgia, but not via taking a midnight train. I have been to Carolina in my mind. And I’ve definitely been to the Rocky Mountains although not really high at the time. When I was much younger there was one time I was with Lucy in the sky with diamonds. But I don’t recommend that for a bucket list.I know a guy that's been to Winslow and been on the Marrakesh Express, and one other odd song place from the 70's.

I lived in Anaheim CA and never went to DisneyLand, Oh wait they wouldn't let long hairs in.I don't get Disney either. I once lived in Orlando for six months and never went there.
You should add the Art Institute in Chicago to your list.. I especially love the Impressionists there. Many greats by Monet (the haystack series, painted in different light shown side by side),We are art museum afficionados and have seen many, many of them on our travels.
My "Great Museums" (so far)
The Metropolitan Museum of Art -- New York City
The National Gallery -- Washington DC
The British Museum -- London
The Uffizi -- Florence
La Galleria dell'Accademia -- Florence
The Vatican Museum -- Vatican City
The Louvre -- Paris
The Tokyo National Museum -- Tokyo
My bucket list "Great Museums" remaining
The Prado -- Madrid
The Rijksmuseum -- Amsterdam
The Hermitage -- St. Petersburg (although I doubt I will ever go to Russia)
There are innumerable smaller museums in the US and around the world that are well worth seeing. Tell me where you will be traveling and I can probably recommend some hidden gens.
I'm pretty sure I couldn't attract a 24 yo beauty like that, even with my wife's permission!I think Bill B. just completed his bucket list. Bill Belichick, 72, Makes Red Carpet Debut With Girlfriend Jordon Hudson, 24, in New York City
Well, I could do that too,
If my wife wasn't standing in the way! ;-)
Yes, I can easily give grace to others who make mistakes like to, too and two or affect vs effect or misspell a word. But I hate it in myself. What's up with that??Yer rite.
