Does your bucket have a hole in it.

My bucket list consists mainly of trying to visit as many of the foreign holiday resorts that i've been to over last fifty or so years. I'm sure there's a hole in my bucket cos as the years go by some of those holidays a slowly seeping away along with the years.

Re: Does your bucket have a hole in it.

My buckets full of holes, unfortunately I have no pennies to fill them.

No one to help carry it either

Re: Does your bucket have a hole in it.

Thing with bucket lists, they’re a bit like New Years resolutions, you start with the intention to fulfill your list, but very rarely do, probably best to keep things simple for starters and do the things that are in reach,

Re: Does your bucket have a hole in it.

I don’t believe in bucket lists. l believe in doing things now whilst you are able. None of us know what’s around the corner.

EZ, As for hole in your bucket, fling it and buy a new one! You’re worth it!

Re: Does your bucket have a hole in it.

I have never had a bucket list either.

If I had, I can't see me having holidays on my list, as I am not a good traveller, and wouldn't hand my animals over to a stranger to look after anyway.

I know it's easier for you EZ, as family look after yours, but it's not the same for me.

I think I have honestly done and been everywhere that I have wished to go.
I have just a couple of places to visit left.
I need at least a couple of months to visit them, so they are on the back burner.

The thing with travel bucket lists is that the older you get the more hassle it is to plan for it and get there. I'd love to visit Australia, New Zealand, Cambodia and Vietnam, but sitting on a long haul plane journey is not my idea of fun.

When you are working and have lots of responsibilities looking after others it's not so easy to find time and energy. We have so much on our doorstep.

Re: Does your bucket have a hole in it.

I have only two things left to do, and one I doubt if I'll do it. One of my sisters lives in Australia and wants me to go out for a visit, she's desperate to show me her chosen homeland, BUT I'm on a lot of Meds for various things and have a couple of physical problems as well, I doubt I'd get Insurance because of it, also I'd have to take an awful lot of meds with me, doubt the authorities would be very happy about that Also the thought of being on a plane all that time fills me with dread.

The 2nd I do intend to do and will only take a three away days but it's finding the time as Himself wants to come too. We want to go to St Kilda. We'd have to drive down overnight to Sky to get one of the boats, it's around 6 hours on board then 5 or so hours on the island, then the long trip back. An overnight stay on Sky before driving back up North. It's a place we've both longed to visit but now it's a World Heritage Site, and we can only go when they say.
