This blog is basically just a collection of my "random thoughts". I must warn you, though. I have been told that "I write like I talk", so if you don't understand what you are reading... chances are, if you met me... I wouldn't make much sense to you! Feel free to comment if you care to. Or not. I'm good either way!

Bucket List #64-66

#66 --- Visit Savannah and take a ghost tour at night --- I orginally wrote this list about 2 years ago, about the time the movie "The Bucket List" came out in 2007. As you can see from my list so far... I have not accomplished very many (IF any at all!) on my list. This one here, tho...  is one that I have "half-way" done. I have been to Savannah, but I have not done a ghost tour at night there. I DID go on one when I went to New Orleans with some friends, back in March of 2009. Now that I have done a ghost tour in "NOLA", I no longer want to do that in Savannah. I have been to Savannah once with Dtr. #2's Girl Scout troop. It was a VERY short visit, and the only sight-seeing thing that we did, was to go to Juliet Lowe's home for a tour and special activities, there. It was great fun, but now I want to go back and do "grown-up stuff"! I want to go there with Hubby and stay in a hotel in the riverfront area where we can walk to everything.


#67 --- Take a long road trip with a friend --- Like I said... I wrote this a few years ago. This is one of the things that I think I will have to "rethink". After going on that trip to New Orleans with 3 friends, I don't know if going on a LONG trip with even ONE friend is such a good idea! Maybe an overnight trip, but that's about it! I don't want to end up like "Thelma & Louise"!



#68 --- Travel west of Alabama --- When I made this list, I had not accomplished this yet. It took me 44 years.... but, I finally made it across the Alabama border into Mississippi in March of 2009, when I went to New Orleans!

Bucket List #28-30

#28 --- Go on a road trip with no predetermined destination --- I can just imagine myself (probably NOT by myself!) hoping into my car with bags packed, a wallet full of cash (or my debit card!), and a full tank of gas.... headed out onto the open road with no destination in mind. I'll just start driving (knowing me... it will be towards the coast!) and when I feel like stopping... I will! Then, if I want to spend the night... I will! And if I get up in the morning and want to drive some more... I will! Who knows where I might end up!


#29 --- Visit San Francisco and have plenty of time to see everything --- I have always wanted to go to this city! It looks so beautiful on TV and in pictures! There's the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, Ghirardeli Square, the cable cars, Lombard Street, and.... I'm sure a bunch more!


#30 --- See a huge snow! --- I have never seen more than 7 inches of snow. Yes, I know. It's sad. But, growing up in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA and now living in West Central Georgia.... we don't see a whole lot of that pretty white stuff! I would love to go out west somewhere, like Colorado or Wyoming and see a BIG SNOW! I see myself inside of a lodge or cabin, with a huge fireplace and a BIG picture window where I can sit all day and just stare out at the beauty of it all!

Bucket List #13-15

#13 --- Raft down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon --- This would of course be done during my visit to the Grand Canyon - (#12 on my list).


#14 --- Spend a week (or more) in Washington D.C., exploring and learning --- I've been to Washington D.C. a couple of times, but both times were just DAY trips. There is just WAY too much to see and do in D.C. to try and do it all in one day! I would love to have the time to take it slow and really see everything. I have never been to the Capital or The White House, so those are two things that I would want to do for sure. I also really want to go to the Holocaust musuem.


#15 --- Take a road trip to the west coast with no time limit and make stops along the way at
interesting places. --- Of course, this kinda' goes along with my wish to drive Route 66 - (#10 on my list). But, if I were to do this... I would leave from home to do it, so that is a bit different. So, I would drive from Georgia to California (I guess). A convertible for this trip would be fun, too!
