Mine is a one year RV trip across North America with one season spent in an 'ideal' region for that season… Probably something like:
Summer: High Country Colorodo
Fall: New England
Winter: Southern California (with a stop in CO for some winter sports on the way)
Spring: Southwestern Desert

I can see why. Those photos are amazingly beautiful. I have a trip planned to Uruguay in the spring of 2016. I may have to take a detour through Chile on the way back home.

Ibiza, Spain. While there, I would want to lounge in the Mediterranean Sea (maybe do some scuba diving since that is on my bucket list). It is the "party capital of the world" so I would love to go to their nightclubs like Space as well as their boat parties by day. Also, I think it would be fun to grab a moped and just cruise around exploring Ibiza Town. Valencia is about 4 hours away, so would probably take a day trip there and go on a 'foodie tour' and taste all types of tapas from the region. Barcelona is about 8 hours away, so not sure I'd be able to make it there on a week long tour unfortunately

Cancun, Mexico. This is a doable trip concerning costs and travel time. I want to see Chichen Itza, go snorkeling, take this authentic Mexican cooking class called 'Can Cook in Cancun', Albatros Sail Away snorkel to Isla Mujeres, Camel Safari, and Carnaval Booze Cruise to Isla Mujeres at night (dinner and a show combo), see a show at Coco Bongo. Swim in cenotes.

Grand Canyon, Arizona. This would be just a 4 day weekend thing most likely. On TripAdvisor, I saw people riding mules around the canyon. Looked like a lot of fun. Maybe some hiking, a nice dinner over the cliffs, kayaking (on the south rim?)

Albuquerque, New Mexico. The hot air balloon festival!! One of my bucket list items is to ride on a hot air balloon, feel like you are flying. Would also like to visit a pueblo, and ride ATVs

Cartagena, Colombia. Excellent beaches (or so I've read lol), historic town. Snorkel tour of the San Bernardo Islands. Baranquilla's Carnival. Taste local cuisine

Cusco, Peru- Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu! Spot some llamas

London, England- Idk why, but one of my bucket list items is to be here for New Year's Eve! It seems so magical. I would see the typical tourist attractions of course- Big Ben, The London Eye, etc. Would want to take a day trip to either Stonehenge or Paris just to cross even more items off of my bucket list

Australia- I can't even pinpoint exactly where, but I would love to visit here sometime before kicking the bucket. This is a trip I will have to save up for probably at least a year in advance. I would want to see the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, ugh so many things.

San Juan, Puerto Rico- Go on the 'Flavors of San Juan' tour, visit Old San Juan, El Yunque Rainforest, kayaking in the Bioluminescent Bay looks incredible! Go to a rum factory.

I've never been to a ski resort in my 25 years of life, so I would love to go to one just to go lol I assume they have other things to do like tubing, etc. for newbies. So many bucket list items I have! The moment I move, I am going to get on this list!

well unfortunately due to health problems and not being able to fly for many hours at once, our bucket list went out with the rain: If we could go with our dream it would be either, a river cruise in Europe, a Med cruise or a cruise in Australia and the far east.

The one I still hope we will be able to do, maybe next year is a group tour to the Black Hills. I know, not very exciting, but it is someplace hubby has always wanted to do.

I want to travel "The Silk Road" ... from Istanbul all the way to Beijing. I would like to see the fabled cities along the way: Ankara, Isfahan, Tabriz, Samarkand, Bokhara, Almaty, Kashgar, etc.

I just went and repped all the posts so far that I would love to do myself. Basically all of them, lol!

My list also includes a castle tour of Europe, a stay on an Irish farm, an African safari, seeing the Northern Lights, and visiting the South Pacific and Japan.
