I used to want to play golf at the Old Course at St. Andrews. I don't play much golf anymore and my game is stinko (one reason why I stopped in the first place), so that has slipped off the list. I don't think anything has really replaced it.

Aye, same here, but we could sit in the clubhouse and drink a 21 year old single malt and look out over the course!

There's not much on my bucket list any more that is serious or big. I used to have a lot of things like getting a DC-3 type rating and a B747 type rating. I used to want to travel to all the exotic places.

Nowadays it is simple desires like motorcycle camping, and spending time with the grandkids.

Normandy

Arizona

Arlington

Drive to Key West, then fly to the Dry Tortugas to Snorkel.

Easter Island

Machu Picchu

Only a few things for me:

1) Fly in a P-51D Mustang

2) Visit Italy, especially northern Italy

3) Move to a cabin in the woods with no neighbors for at least 5 miles in all directions (probably should be #1 on the list!)

All very worthy destinations. (Do you bean the Arizona Memorial or the state?) Either way I've done them all and recommend them.

Should either of you decide to visit St. Andrews, Scotland, may I recommend The Rusacks Hotel, which backs up to The Old Course. Beautiful place with a great staff. None of the four of us who visited in April of this year play, but the hotel and St. Andrews itself are both beautiful in their own right. BTW, the hotel has a top floor bar/restaurant (with balcony) that has spectacular views of the course. If it wasn’t such a PIA to post properly sized photos, I’d do so.

You'll need a million dollars.

-Visit Japan-just seems like a really cool place to visit
-roam around Hong Kong for a month on foot

Go visit the Titanic.
Too soon?

Shugart go to your room

At 72 I'm content with simple pleasures and I've had enough experiences to last a lifetime. Now, playing with the dogs, dabbling in the stawk market, raising 30 tomato plants, fucking around with cars and boats (but I'm getting tired of that).

Still set up at a couple gun shows a year and will attend maybe a half dozen more. Fortunate that my health is good and I've got a good marriage. I guess my bucket list is same ol same ol and to try to be kind.

I want to see the Northern Lights in Norway, Canada or Alaska. The problem is there is no guarantee on when they might show up in the sky. You have to be there at the right time. I really want to see it.

One item for sure is drive Route 66 or what's left of it in a vintage car.

Man, I'd sure like to make my long suffering and very deserving wife happy, just once in the past 40 years, by moving her/us into a different house. Smaller, snugger, brighter, cleaner, safer, more private etc.

I have reached the age that I can't find my bucket anymore!!

I did that in 1969 in a 1966 Mustang. Was going to Dover AFB for transport to Tehran, Iran, where I served (USAF) for 18 months. Sold the Mustang there and bought a 1971 Pinto when I came back.
