Title: Bucket lists
Post by: Fridge Magnet on April 10, 2012, 11:17:40 PM
What do you guys want to do before you move on?

I want to see a low fly by a hurricane, spitfire or a mustang. Saw the roulettes last weekend in Warrnambool and am still buzzing, those guys are incredible.

I was listing places but it's nearly easier to just say world tour.
Top of the list are Ireland, The Vatican and The Smithsonian

I used to have a longer detailed list but my plans fell apart and the rebuild is seeing things go in a different indistinct direction.

Im hoping by the time I become a cashed up retiree , that the technology with space travel / tourism will develop so much that the cost of travel becomes cheap and the  ticket prices of going a sub orbital might only be $15K - $20K. Even if it's only a few hours, the ability to do so would be amazing.

One can only dream, but that's my No 1 bucket list wish.

Google space tourism or space holidays, it's amazing how many sites are offering trips already , including trips to the moon or walking in space ( many millions at the moment).

Seen these websites myself , funny thing is you can actually book and pay online.

Cheers

I want to see my kids grow old, contented and have families of their own. And I want them to be way more successfull and affluent than their old man.

Everything in between is a bonus.

Unfortunately the first thing on my bucket list is something I can never do, I would have loved to sit down with Mahatma Ghandi for a couple of hours talk.
My main wish is to one day learn how to play a musical instrument.

2.  Nth QLD Cowboys to win the NRL premiership.

Plus 1 on your number 1 there Kieran.

I'd like a trip around this great country of ours, with my beautiful wife and to see my kids grow up and have their own dreams come true..

Not much really..

I'd love to travel into space also. How good would it be to leave the planet!

Would love to see more of our country, and maybe 1 or 2 places around the world.

Would also love to be able to watch Australia play a world cup in the West Indies (hopefully they are still playing 50 over cricket long enough to get back there).
