One of my favorite movies is The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The characters, Carter and Edward, are two terminally ill men that escape from a cancer ward to head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they “kick the bucket”. A big part of this list is to travel to destinations like Egypt to see the pyramids, go on safari in Africa, ride a motorcycle on the Great Wall of China, dine high in the hills on the Cote d’Azur, explore the Taj Mahal in India and climb the Himalayas.
You don’t have to be sick or dying or even to make your bucket list but you need to have a plan! If you have a list then you can prioritize it or better yet, be on the look out for a great value.
Have you made your bucket list? Dreaming is free and limitless. Don’t worry about the “how” just yet – focus on the fun, the joy of the idea of going to the places you dream to visit. Start with where ever you are most comfortable and build your trips from there. Where is the one place you really dream to visit? Make that the number one on your list. One of my friends recently told me “when there is a will to travel, people find a way” and I agree. Life is a journey and it is meant to be fun.
What are some of the destinations on your Bucket List?
