The Bucket List of Alan Morris.
A bucket list is a wish list of things to do before you die or ‘kick the bucket’. I have no intention of departing from this mortal life until I have crossed everything off my bucket list, which seems to be growing longer daily.
This section of my website contains details of my bucket list. Some of the things I have managed to do and some of the things I still have to do before I die. Whenever I see something new that I want to do, I add it to this list. I have recently started cruising and have found it an excellent way to enjoy a holiday and to be able to cross off some of the things on my bucket list. It does seem that a lot of the things on my bucket list are travel-related.
The term Bucket List has been around for a long time but has maybe become a lot more popular since one of my favourite films, ´The Bucket List’ starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, was released in 2007. If you have never seen this film, I highly recommend you watch it. If you haven’t already got one, it will make you start your bucket list.
I went on The Maid of the Mist when I went to America in the 1990s with my friend Alistar Parry. We flew to New York, hired a car & drove through the state of New York to the Canadian & American border, where we stayed on the American side of Niagara Falls.

One of the places I have always wanted to visit is the Augusta National Golf Club. I love golf but I do not want to play golf there, just walk around the course to soak up the beautiful location.

I saw a photo of the Langkawi Sky Bridge on my computer when Microsoft chose it as a screen saver & I decided I would add it to my bucket list.

I have my computer set up to change images every day & it uses images from Microsoft Bing. One morning the image shown was this marvellous castle. As it is in Spain there is a very good chance that when we are allowed to travel I will be able to visit it & to take it off of my bucket list.

I think the first time I saw a Segway was on television. It was a policeman riding one somewhere & I thought straight away that I had to have a go.

Why would anyone want to go cliff diving? I remember seeing Elvis Presley diving off a cliff in one of his films & thinking how cool it would be to have a go.

As a small boy, I was fascinated by China & always wanted to visit China. One of the things I wanted to do if I visited China was to walk a section of the Great Wall of China.

Machu Picchu was one of the places my dad always wanted to go & never went to because of ill health. Because of my dad, I started looking into going to Machu Picchu to see what it was, where it was & why he wanted to go there.

My parents went to Jasper National Park & once I saw the photos of them there, I immediately put it on my bucket list.

The Elephant Nature Park is a unique project set in the Chiang Mai province in Northern Thailand. I have ridden an Elephant at San Diego Zoo but want to visit this park to see them in more natural surroundings.
