The blogs in this section of my website are all connected to my bucket list of things I want to do before I die. Some of them I am fortunate enough to have already accomplished, while others I plan to do, and some remain distant dreams.
Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia, and it is the largest religious monument in the world.
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 had my computer set up to change images daily using Microsoft Bing images. One morning, the picture showed this marvellous castle. As it is in Spain, I will be able to visit it and take it off my bucket list.
I once went to Carcassonne as a young boy. I remember being there with my mum, dad and sister on a visit on the way back from a family holiday in Spain.
✅ From a young age, I had always loved Humphrey Bogart films and have been somewhat of a romantic; I know I hide it well. I had always wanted to visit Casablanca in Morocco, but I have now been able to cross it off my bucket list.
Chichen Itza in Mexico is a place that I have only ever seen on television, but it is a place that, as soon as I saw it, I thought I had to visit.
✅ Why would anyone want to go cliff diving? I remember seeing Elvis Presley diving off a cliff in one of his films and thinking how cool it would be to have a go.
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.
✅ I am in the lucky position to say that I have flown the Grand Canyon on three occasions.
It has been an ambition to go scuba diving on The Great Barrier Reef for as long as I can remember. Because of my health, I think I will probably have to snorkel at the reef rather than dive, but it is still on 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.
✅ Since I was very young and used to watch Magnum PI, starring Tom Selleck, on television, I have wanted to see the Hawaiian islands. Some of my friends have been, and they have all said what a great place it was to
...I have been a Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fan since I first played the game on my cousin's ZX81 computer and then read the book The Hobbit way back in 1981. A few years later, I read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I think that the films of the books have been my most-watched films as well. I
...✅ I had wanted a hot air balloon flight for a long time and received a flight from my mum as a Christmas present in 2003. It was my first time flying in a hot air balloon, but not the last, and I have now crossed it off my bucket list.
✅ I had always wanted to go to Japan and have now been on an escorted tour of Japan, trying to visit as much as possible.
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 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.
I have always been fascinated by the Leaning Tower of Pisa and have always wanted to go there. Recently, more of my friends have visited it, and after seeing their photos, I have put it on my bucket.
