Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Jul 22 '20, 11:26

- See the northern lights
- See a rocket launch
- Spend a week on the island of St. John

There's more but those are the first that come to mind

Responses:

Circumnavigate Vancouver Island. Publish a book. Start a business. Parlay my ROV hobby into Serious Feats of Oceanography. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 12:27 1
- (Frankly, all of these things could be lumped together into one single thing, if the chips fall in place ...) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 12:27
Scotland (was supposed to be Sept), and at some point Italy and Greece. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 22, 12:18 1
- Scotland was awesome. I wish I had a chance to see Isle of Skye and the west coast, but I really like Edinburg and the other places I was able to see. - sycor Jul 22, 12:26
A trip to Australia has been on my list since I was a child. Also, attend all four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. -- nm - Dano Jul 22, 12:00
Visit all the Disney Parks, get to at least sub-orbital altitude, go to the Udvar-Hazy Center, Run a sub 2 hour half marathon -- (edited) - JD Jul 22, 11:45
I use Google Maps and pin random places when they pop up on Reddit or other places. Pretty soon it's going to start looking like one big pin. -- nm - sycor Jul 22, 11:41
see a tornado in person. -- nm - colin Jul 22, 11:40 8
- in a wing suit! -- nm - Max Jul 22, 11:44
- I saw a waterspout once - it was a long ways off shore though. -- nm - decline Jul 22, 11:44
- I saw one once. It was when I was living in DeKalb for college. It was south of my apartment moving across a field. We were pretty far from it - oblique Jul 22, 11:44
- I don't recommend it. - Judge Bane Jul 22, 11:42 4
  - i like extreme weather - it's really exciting, even if it is scary. -- nm - colin Jul 22, 11:55
  - I have seen a few more than that. If you are far enough away and it is moving in the right direction it can be pretty amazing. - Spawn Jul 22, 11:44 2
    - yeah, I'd imagine -- nm - mud Jul 22, 12:04
    - The furthest away one was when I was maybe eight or nine, so still scary. - Judge Bane Jul 22, 12:02
Basically anywhere I haven't been. - spamlet Jul 22, 11:34 4
- I've heard people say that but I've never ever ever seen them. Not even up at my parents place in WI. It's a good excuse, however - oblique Jul 22, 11:35 3
  - I saw them up in Northern Michigan. The light pollution is generally a significant issue. -- nm - pmb Jul 22, 12:10
  - I still want to go somewhere to see them properly mind you. - spamlet Jul 22, 11:39
  - I still regret not going to Iceland a few years ago. I just got nervous doing a solo trip in the middle of winter there. -- nm - sycor Jul 22, 11:37
get a bucket. -- nm - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 22, 11:33 1
- I'll never manage it, but it would be neat to get to the highest point in each of the 50 states -- (edited) - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 22, 11:42
Visit the major U.S. cities I've not yet seen - Chicago, D.C., New York, Boston......... -- nm - Meg Jul 22, 11:32
Way too many: Northern Lights, Thailand, Iceland, Yosemite, Glacier National Park, Pyramids, Japan, Great Wall. Hell there's a ton in the US - sycor Jul 22, 11:32
Trip to Italy. Trip to China/Japan. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 22, 11:32 6
- Oh and Middle East, Israel/Egypt/Dubai -- nm - Strongbad Jul 22, 11:32 5
  - "...and Tahiti." -- nm - Crease Jul 22, 11:34 4
    - Tahiti is not in Europe! -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 22, 11:39 1
      - And TIL: Dr. Janek (inventor of the box) was played by Donal Logue. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 22, 11:44
    - "It's a magical place." -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 11:38
    - meh. Wife wants one of those huts over the water in Bora Bora. That's pretty far down the list. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 22, 11:38
I don't really have one per se, but I would like to finish The Berserker and STARCH at some point. -- nm - David Jul 22, 11:30
Publish a book, run my own business, sponsor an archaeological dig that finds something - Max Jul 22, 11:29 2
- If you can afford to fund the dig, then you should just buy some dinosaur bones and bury them where the dig will be ahead of time -- nm - decline Jul 22, 11:30 1
  - "pull off an archaeological hoax to rival the Cardiff Giant" goes on my list -- nm - Max Jul 22, 11:33
Only one. Make a new bucket list. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 11:29
