Bucket List

I have always wanted to go to Japan and have now booked an escorted tour to visit as much as possible.

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

Petra is a historical and archaeological city in the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma'an, and it is on my bucket list.

Like so many people, I have always been fascinated by pictures of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and have wanted to visit Rio de Janeiro and Brazil for a long time.

I saw a photo of St Govans Chapel in Bosherton, Pembrokeshire, Wales, on Facebook and immediately decided to visit it.

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

The Elephant Jungle Sanctuary is a unique project set in Thailand. My mum would have loved to have gone there, and I would love to have shared this bucket list experience with her.

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

I saw a picture of the Kaleto Fortress on a computer screen saver and decided it was a place I would add to my bucket list as a place to visit.

I saw the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Hope online and thought it looked like a great place to add to my bucket list.

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

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

As a young child, like many others, I always wanted to be an astronaut. As this seemed out of my reach, I decided to go to Kennedy Space Centre in Florida one day and see a live rocket launch.
