Wacky Wednesday Poll

What are one or two things that are on your bucket list?

Is there a life experience that most people have had that you haven't? (Like seeing the ocean or snow, etc)

Re: Wacky Wednesday Poll

  • What are one or two things that are on your bucket list? 
    1.  Cage diving with great white sharks.
    2.  Have a closet big enough to hold all my shoes.

    I have never had surgery for anything ever.  And I have never even broken a bone.

  • What are one or two things that are on your bucket list?
    1) Skydiving
    2) Going to Paris

    Is there a life experience that most people have had that you haven't? (Like seeing the ocean or snow, etc)

    Hm....nothing that I can think of.....the best I can think of (and I know others are in the same boat) is that DH and I have never bought a home...we've always rented. Hopefully in the next 5 years that will change!
  • What are one or two things that are on your bucket list? Owning my favorite cars.  I expect it will take decades, but J and I are pretty determined.  I mean, it's not like we are looking at Ferrari's or anything.  Most are fairly humble.  We just want a lot of them. :)

    Is there a life experience that most people have had that you haven't? (Like seeing the ocean or snow, etc)  I don't know it' a New England thing or not, but everyone I know goes to Florida regularly (and not for retirement/winter). Whether just for the beaches or for Disney, but I have never been.

    The only thing I can think of right now is that I've never eaten apple pie. I want to; just never have!

  • @EliStar  I am totally stealing your Louboutins for my bucket list as well.  But then I have the whole, 'do I buy a practical pair that go with everything so I can wear them often, or do I get a really outrageous pair because they are Louboutins?'

    I often browse their website and wonder the same thing. 

    The obvious answer is to buy two pairs of Louboutins. #dreamworld

  • What are one or two things that are on your bucket list? 

    Visit Machu Pichu, but I don't know if it will happen before they close it to the public.


    Is there a life experience that most people have had that you haven't? (Like seeing the ocean or snow, etc)

    In this area, I think it would be ski or snowboard.  I have never even attempted either of these activities.  Also, I live in this area and have never been to Nantucket.  That would shock a few people.

    And like @booneybear, I've never broken a bone.

    Maybe we could do something early April?  or is that too close to NYC?

    the bucket said "Boo",
    he pissed on his shoe,

    I figured as much.  Maybe we will just have to go in the summer with all the other 'tourists'.

  • 1 - Go scuba diving in all the awesome places.  Including a cage dive, preferably in South Africa.

    2. - I've never been to Vegas OR Nantucket.

  • When I went to Cape Cod last year, they were still offering day trips to Nantucket.  Maybe you could plan it for the first weekend in October?

  • What are one or two things that are on your bucket list? The biggest one I can think of is that I want to take a solo trip to explore some exotic country. I'm thinking Cambodia. I also want to own a hobby farm someday. Nothing huge. Just enough land to grow veggies and keep a few animals.

    I don't have an "ex" and I've never been through a real breakup. MH and I have been together since I was 15.

    I've only been once, in the fall. My parents have a house near the cape (before the bridges) so DH & I took a weekend at the house and did day trips by boat. Didn't have to spend a ton of money staying on the islands and didn't have to sit in hours of traffic coming home from the cape. I'd love to go again though.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

  • What are one or two things that are on your bucket list?

    The biggest one for me is to travel to the small town in Austria (on the border with Hungary) that my grandmother came from.  I just think that would be too cool.

    This is really hard.  Up until a very short while ago I had never eaten taco bell.  That's all I can think of!
