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.
My mum would have told you that I have already been up to the Eiffel Tower as she was pregnant with me when she visited it in 1966.

I saw a picture of the Belogradchik Fortress on a computer screen saver & decided it was a place I would add to my bucket list as a place to visit. I let my fingers type 'Belogradchik Fortress' into Google to learn more about it & find out where it was. I now hope I can someday organise a trip & visit it myself.

I guess swimming with dolphins would be on most people's bucket list. I managed to swim with dolphins at Discovery Cove, Sea World in Orlando, Florida, in 2004.
