Do you have a bucket list

Quizqueen - re UFO...me too!

SunnySusie has summed up my feelings on this. I become less and less enthusiastic about travel with every year that passes. Whether it's by train, plain, ferry or car, it's a hassle and I no longer derive sufficient excitement from being "abroad" to make it worthwhile in the main. We do still go away but OH has to work much harder to persuade me that it's a good idea than he ever used to. I guess I'm just too happy at home!

Grandmacong I completely agree with you - have travelled in my time - but now there's so much I want to do here where I live - don't feel the need to go off to far flung places. Did go to Canada last summer though - but the main attraction was to visit my sister there and her family.

Don't have a bucket list as such but seem to be doing a lot of travelling of late.
Quite a few of you mentioned the Northern lights. We did a journey by working ferry in December from Bergen to almost the Russian border and back and saw the lights four of the nights.
You need a combination of being in the correct place and having clear skies so we were lucky.
I have to say I was initially underwhelmed as I had expected the sight to be colourful.
To the naked eye it was grey with a tinge of green. When photographed the green is dominant. It was still wonderful watching them dance on days 3 and 4 but perhaps if my expectations had been realistic I would have enjoyed it more.
Packing today as we are leaving for Cambodia and Thailand on Monday.
Of all my travels the one I would recommend to all is Whale watching in Monterey California. Being so close to so many humpbacked whales was the experience of a lifetime.

The opera in Verona, Alaska, and possibly Cuba.

I've always loved travelling and have done a fair bit in the last few years, mainly in SE Asia, and would now love to tackle South America. Problem is DH, who now he has retired is convinced we are going to be penniless in our old age and is reluctant to spend on anything other than essentials. Personally I'd rather blow the lot and enjoy it than save it to go on nursing home fees when we're gaga.
