It be like that (as the kids say). I have a bad taste in my mouth about Jamaica, and in particular Dunn’s River Falls, because of how pushy the locals are. And both are extraordinaryily beautiful.
I’ve never actually sat down and written a bucket list but I have gradualy developed a rough mental one since I heard of the concept at 18, and it may evolve.
The following things could be considered as having been fulfilled:
-
Learned to play the bagpipes
-
Published a book
-
Visited the Loire Valley in France, Scotland, the Sans Souci palace in Potsdam (Germany), and Southern France (but much more to explore there)
Things that haven’t been fulfilled yet include:
-
Eating turtle soup or at least mock turtle soup
-
Eating a good game bird dish
-
Going diving in the sea
-
Flying in a balloon or hang gliding (or perhaps trying skydiving but I’m a bit hesitant about this one)
-
Visiting a whole host of places, mainly around Europe, but also in the Americas
Current Bucket List:
- Fly a B-17 (fly, not ride in). Done.
- Ride in a P-47. Not yet.
- Travel at least some of the Intracoastal Waterway by boat. Not yet.
- Hunt feral hogs from a helicopter with a fully automatic (machine) gun. Not yet, but hopefully this year.
- Ride in a tank. Not yet.
- Raft the Grand Canyon. Done.
- Catch a large shark. Done.
- Same, but for tuna. Not yet.
- Learn to SCUBA dive and get certified. Not yet.
- Catapult from, and land on, an aircraft carrier. This was just a pipe-dream, but it actually happened, so… Done.
I’ll be in New Orleans in December. Turtle soup there is as ubiquitous as chicken soup is in the Midwest. I’d eat a bowl and raise a glass to you, but that stuff tastes like shit (I’m told; and by “shit” I mean “strong taste of freshwater fish,” which I can’t stand. Same reason I hate frog legs.).
I’ve had wild turkey. It was delicious, though gamey (which makes sense, but I don’t like the taste of game).
Jesus Christ dude. Are you going to do it while Ted Nugent shreds on his guitar? 
Saw a total solar eclipse.
Stuff that is done.

My wife asked me to teach her how to shoot handguns. I did, we both just got our CCW permits. Kinda weird. Don’t plan on carrying. My wife got surrounded by a pack of coyotes when hiking, so she might carry then. Things aren’t quite pear shaped enough in the US for me to carry, but you never know. And the professional training was a good thing.
-
My wife and I got most of our travel done. Well one to go. British Isles Norway and Iceland. That’s this August.
-
We recently moved, which was a huge thing. Stayed in Colorado.
Those where some things that where on our bucket list. But accomplished.
Next up
- Taking a pastels class. That’s scheduled for May
- Learning to play the piano. Well, at least well enough to enjoy it.
- Riding my bike more.
- My wife took a pickleball class, so looks like pickle ball is on my list. Sounds fun.
In TX, it’s legal to hunt them from a hot air balloon. 
Summit Kilimanjaro
(Photo) shoot a safari
Rim-to-rim, maybe rim-to-rim-to-rim*
Shoot a actively spewing volcano.
Northern Lights above the Artic Circle. (I have seen & shot them in the US; but not nearly as strong as up north)
* that’s a single trail run of the Grand Canyon, not a leisurely, multi-day trek. It’s less distance than a marathon, just with, obviously, a lot of vertical.
There’s all sorts of stuff I’ve do on a regular basis that is a lot of other peoples bucket list
Seems like Credence would be more appropriate.
