What's on your bucket list?

I'd love to spend a week or two in Venice. Maybe rent an apartment and just explore the whole lagoon, take a ton of reference photos to do paintings of, and do some painting there.

How about you?

Mostly the southeast and eastern regions but all of it is appealing- the Loire valley, the Dordogne, Grenoble, Poiters, anywhere Eleanor of Aquitaine might have been. Oh and a river cruise on the Rhine.

I could live there it’s so awesome! We just walked around and got lost and found in Venice.

With the reign of terror we are experiencing in this country I’m afraid to fly anymore. But I’d return to Venice in an heart beat but Tahiti and New Zealand are my next wishful destinations. Sadly the way things are going I don’t know if I will make it there.

I've been there several times, but only for a few days at a time. It's a step back in time to the 18th Century. Just magical.

Travel, mostly. Both the states and abroad. But alas, finances.
I will just have watch you tube videos and find recipes of food from the places I would love to visit.

So I've been doing minor bucket list things. I went to the zoo, butterfly pavilion and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I'd definitely like to travel in the future but I haven't thought about where.

Eight figures, preferably. Seven, at least. After that there's a few things I'd like to do, like get a house with a bigger kitchen.

But I'm scared to death of flying. Can't swim. Boats are out because the sea also terrifies me. Was on a fishing boat once off New Jersey and the damn engine kept cutting out and we drifted almost into international waters with waves high as a mountain coming at us. The other passengers were all fishing and everyone but me got seasick. NEVER AGAIN!

I'll just have to dream and fantasize.
