Your Bucket List

[Smidget]

On the road (excuse the pun...) to ticking off another thing on my bucket list - theory test is booked!

[J.S217]

I am Incredibly surprised at kind of How successful this topic is .

[coastergod]

It would be nice to complete this before I'm 30 but if not, before death will do. Here we go then (in no specific order).

1. Get through education (GCSE's, College and University).

2. Learn to drive

3. Own a nice car

4. Start a family

5. Go to Monaco for a week and watch the F1 whilst there

6. Do a road trip from North Germany to South Germany visiting all the main theme parks

7. Go down the East coast of the USA

8. Bungee jump off an unnecessarily tall bridge

9. Sky dive

10. Race around the Nurburgring (long course, not the F1 track)

11. Visit all theme parks in Britain

12. Go to Cedar Point just to see what all the fuss is about

13. 2 weeks in China visiting Honk Kong and of course their Disney

14. Stay in an official theme park hotel

15. Go to Scarefest

16. Visit North Italy (1 week skiing in The Alps, 1 week doing the theme parks/sightseeing)

17. Go on a cruise around somewhere hot

18. Holiday in Canada

19. 3 weeks in New Zealand

20. Live life to the full

If I do all of this in my lifetime I shall die very happy.

I just read this and I used to live in Hong Kong, and I can guarantee you that if you want to go to Disney in Hong Kong, Don't. Unless you are a massive disney fan.

Go to Ocean Park Instead. A lot better...

[Mark9]

Prediction that when we go you'll detest the expensiveness which will counteract any form of goodness Denmark will be full of

Nope. If anything it made me want to live there more.

[Benin]

Nope. If anything it made me want to live there more.

It's been two years, might as well update my plans and see what's been achieved so far.

From my last list, I've finished grade 8, entered my uni of choice, found another music job, gone abroad at least once somewhere that's not south Spain and generally become more travel independent.

Theme park wise, 1&2 have been achieved, 3 has been half achieved as I've 'still' not done Drayton & paultons (one will be hotly on radar next year),4 without doubt has been achieved as I've done 6 woodies now, 6 has been half achieved as I've done Paris but definitely not America.

Unsurprisingly the rest of the list has not been achieved.
