Bucket List - Travel Destinations - Part 1

Apr 20, 2009 14:32

So I was recently reading a book, and well the ongoing theme of the story was "Live your life".  Now that's common for a lot of books, but the repetition inside the story was enough that I actually bothered thinking about it in relation to my life rather than the characters.  So after much thought, I determined that while I wasn't an abject failure at living, at times it was close.  So I decided to write my own "Things to do before I kick the bucket list".  I was originally naming it after the book series 1001 things to see/do before I die, but I was informed that they're more commonly referred to as just bucket lists.  Not to mention that's much shorter and easier to type.  So I'm going to do them by category, starting with places I want to see.  They're really all very touristy, but I still want to see them all in person.
